Ingredients
Directions
- Heat the dark chocolate and white candy melts in a microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth. Spoon into piping bags and cut a small opening.
- Peel bananas and cut in half crosswise. Using dark chocolate, pipe eyes and an "O" mouth on each half.
- With a small knife, slice off the strawberry tops so they sit flat.
- Pipe a "U" shape mouth on one side of each strawberry with dark chocolate. Then use white chocolate to pipe zigzag teeth inward from the edge.
- Peel the oranges. Insert small pieces of cilantro or parsley into the top to look like a pumpkin stem.
- Unwrap mozzarella sticks and cut into thirds. Use scissors or a knife to make several small cuts on the bottom half of each piece, creating bristles. Insert a pretzel stick into the top as a broom handle.
- Using a knife or peeler, remove the fuzzy skin from the bottom two-thirds of each kiwi. Cut in half lengthwise and place on a plate.
- Pat kiwi dry with a paper towel. Pipe a scar and mouth line with dark chocolate. Add two dots for eyes, then attach candy eyeballs. Break pretzel sticks and insert into each side as bolts.
