- 12 Blackberries
Other
- 6 Large Marshmallows
- Food-safe marker for detailing

Instructions
- Prepare the cantaloupe: Cut one cantaloupe in half, then use a melon scooper to create 12 even cantaloupe balls.
- Decorate marshmallows: Use a food-safe marker to draw eyes and a round open mouth on each large marshmallow, creating ghost faces.

- Add the ghost marshmallow: Next, push the decorated marshmallow onto the skewer.
- Complete the skewer: Follow with another cantaloupe ball and one more blackberry on the skewer.
- Repeat: Repeat steps 3 to 5 for the remaining five skewers to complete all six ghost fruit skewers.
Notes
