Part 1: Prep the Fruit for Your Halloween Fruit Ideas

  • Scoop out the cantaloupe with a melon baller—this is key for uniform spooky “melon balls”.

Part 2: Assemble Your Halloween Fruit Skewers

  • Thread the fruit in fun patterns: melon ball, grape with eyeball, blackberry, repeat. These Halloween fruit skewers are fun and festive.
  • Add the candy eyeballs to the grapes—this is what makes them real candy eyeball snacks.
  • Serve immediately—fresh is best for appearance and texture.
