Ingredients
Fruits
- ½ cantaloupe, scooped with a melon baller
- 20 large blackberries
- 20 large green grapes, top thinly sliced
Decorations
- 20 small candy eyeballs
Instructions
- Prepare the fruit: Using a melon baller, scoop out the cantaloupe into small round shapes resembling pumpkins. Make sure the melon balls are uniform for easy skewering.
- Assemble the kabobs: Layer the cantaloupe balls, blackberries, and green grapes onto 10 wooden skewers. Ensure each skewer has at least two pieces of each type of fruit, arranging them in your preferred pattern for visual appeal.
- Attach candy eyeballs: Take the thinly sliced part of the green grapes and carefully place one small candy eyeball inside each slice. Gently press the candy eyeball to adhere to the grape.
- Add grapes with eyes to skewers: Once decorated, slide each grape with candy eyeballs onto the skewers along with the other fruits, securing them in place.
- Chill before serving: For best results, refrigerate the completed fruit kabobs for 10-15 minutes before serving. This step keeps the fruit refreshing and helps the candy eyeballs stick better.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve immediately after chilling, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
Notes
- Pop your Halloween fruit skewers in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes before serving to make the fruit even more refreshing and to help the candy eyeballs stick better to the grapes.
- Store the fruit kabobs in an airtight container or wrap them well in plastic wrap and keep refrigerated for up to two days.
