- 12 Blackberries
Other
- 6 Large marshmallows
- Food-safe black marker (for decorating marshmallows)
- 6 Wooden skewers
Instructions
- Prepare the cantaloupe: Cut one medium cantaloupe in half and use a melon scooper to create 12 round cantaloupe balls.
- Decorate marshmallows: Using a food-safe black marker, draw ghostly eyes and a round open mouth on the flat side of each large marshmallow to create spooky faces.
- Assemble the skewers: Take one wooden skewer and push it through one cantaloupe ball, then add one blackberry onto the skewer.
- Add the marshmallow ghost: Push the skewer through one decorated marshmallow, ensuring the face is visible and upright on the skewer.
- Finish the skewer: Continue by pushing another cantaloupe ball onto the skewer followed by one more blackberry to complete the skewer.
- Repeat assembly: Repeat the above assembly steps with the remaining skewers and ingredients until you have six completed fruit ghost skewers.
Notes
- Use a food-safe marker to ensure the marshmallow decorations are safe for consumption.
- For extra fun, you can substitute blackberries with blueberries.
- Serve immediately to keep the marshmallows fresh and the fruit juicy.
- These skewers can be made ahead but should be refrigerated and assembled just before serving for best texture.
- Perfect as a healthy Halloween party snack or festive treat for kids.
