Halloween Fruit Tray Ideas {A Healthy Halloween Snack}

Directions

1. Start by coring a large Granny Smith apple, then cut it into quarters. Lightly coat the apple pieces with lemon juice to keep them from turning brown. Using a small paring knife, carve a cat-eye-shaped mouth into the center of each quarter (it's okay if you cut through; the peanut butter will hide it). Spread a thin layer of peanut butter along the inside of the mouth on both the top and bottom. Press a slice of strawberry into the bottom curve so the rounded end sticks out like a tongue. Stick a few sunflower seeds into the top curve to mimic teeth. Finally, attach two candy eyeballs just above the mouth using a dab of peanut butter.
2. Take a bamboo skewer and thread on a blackberry, a blueberry, and a cantaloupe cube. Repeat this pattern until the skewer is filled. Make as many skewers as you like. For a spooky touch, you can attach a candy eyeball to a blueberry using a small amount of peanut butter.
3. Peel the kiwis and cut them into thick rounds. Make a small slit at the bottom of each slice and insert a popsicle stick so it stays secure. Set the kiwi pops on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Melt the dark chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth. Transfer the melted chocolate to a small ziploc bag, snip off a tiny corner, and drizzle it over the top half of each kiwi to create a monster's hair. While the chocolate is still soft, press two white chocolate chips in for eyes and a banana triangle at the top for a Frankenstein bolt. Use the chocolate bag to add two small dots inside the white chips for pupils and a wavy mouth below. Allow the chocolate to set for 20–30 minutes at room temperature, or pop them in the fridge to speed things up.
4. Peel both large bananas and slice each in half crosswise. For each banana half, use a dab of peanut butter to attach two candy eyeballs side by side near the top. Then push the tip of a dark chocolate chip into the banana just below the eyes to form an open mouth. Trim a few small triangles from the bottom edge of the banana to create a zigzag ghost hem. Repeat this process for all four banana halves.
5. Peel the clementines and pull off any white pith. Take a quarter of the green grape (a lengthwise slice) and poke it into the dimple at the top of each clementine so it resembles a pumpkin stem.
6. Arrange all the Halloween fruit pieces on a large serving platter—you can group similar items together or scatter them randomly. Serve immediately for the best freshness.
