Monster Fruit Skewers are a fun and festive Halloween treat featuring an assortment of colorful fruits threaded onto wooden skewers, decorated with candy eyes for a playful and healthy snack that appeals to kids and adults alike.

Ingredients

Fruits

  • Green grapes, 1 cup
  • Purple grapes, 1 cup
  • Watermelon, cubed or balled, 1 cup
  • Pineapple, cubed, 1 cup
  • Cantaloupe or honeydew, cubed (optional), 1 cup
  • Strawberries or blueberries (optional), 1 cup

Decorations and Extras

  • Candy eyes, enough for decorating desired fruit pieces
  • Honey or nut butter, 2 tablespoons (for sticking candy eyes)
  • Wooden skewers, 8-10 pieces

Instructions

  1. Wash and Prepare Fruits: Thoroughly wash all the fruit. Cut the watermelon, pineapple, cantaloupe or honeydew into bite-sized cubes or balls. Leave grapes and berries whole. Prepare enough fruit pieces to fill your skewers evenly.
  2. Thread the Fruits: Take wooden skewers and thread the various fruits in alternating colors and shapes to create fun and visually appealing patterns. Fill each skewer, leaving some space at the end to hold.
  3. Attach Candy Eyes: Using a small dab of honey or nut butter, stick candy eyes onto select fruit pieces on the skewers to create monster faces. Allow the adhesive to set slightly so the eyes stay in place.
  4. Serve: Arrange the decorated monster fruit skewers on a festive platter. Serve immediately for the freshest taste or refrigerate briefly until ready to serve. Perfect for Halloween parties or healthy snacks with a spooky twist.

Notes

  • Use a nut-free adhesive like honey for allergy-friendly options.
  • Ensure fruits are cut to similar sizes for easier threading and balanced skewers.
  • Customize the fruit selection based on seasonal availability or preferences.
  • Consume within a day for best freshness and texture.
  • For added fun, dip some fruit pieces lightly in melted chocolate before adding candy eyes.
