Gluten-Free Quesadilla Jack O’ Lanterns
It is so easy to make the holidays fun, especially for the kids. These gluten-free quesadilla jack o’ lanterns are just one easy way to do it in very little time. I hope your kids enjoy it as much as mine did!
They can be made with three simple ingredients and in just a few minutes. It’s almost as easy to make as our no-bake ghost cookies!
Can you make dairy-free quesadillas?
We love using So Delicious dairy-free cheddar to make these quesadillas more suitable for those who can’t eat milk. It is made with clean ingredients and tastes better than any other brand we’ve tried.
If you need more dairy-free Halloween treats, I recommend you give Meaningful Eats chocolate almond flour sugar cookies a try since you only need to use dairy-free butter to make these work.

Can you do different shaped eyes and mouth?
Absolutely! This is a great time to get creative and do circle, square or triangle eyes and a happy or sad mouth.
They are great served up with Half Baked Harvests chocolate stuffed jack o lantern cookies. Just be sure to make the needed adjustments if you need to make them gluten-free.

What else do you serve at a Halloween party?
I LOVE holiday gatherings! It gives you an opportunity to be with your favorite people and serve up delicious themed food.
We’ve done a bunch of different get-togethers for Halloween with lots of great ideas. Some of my favorites are our spooky sandwich party with the cutest ghost sandwiches, a witches night out with four different Halloween mocktails and of course, Harry Potter party food because we always watch the first Harry Potter movie every October.

These are so cute!! I made them for my kids (not telling them about how they would be jack-o-lanterns) and they cracked up! They thought they were so funny and of course, so tasty. I am all about Halloween, so this was a really fun way to celebrate the spooky season.
