1. Jack-O-Lantern Cutouts
The easiest way to decorate your fruits for Halloween is to use a cookie cutter to create fun jack-o-lantern cutouts. To create this look, all you need is a pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter and your favorite fruits such as melons, pineapples, or apples. Once you cut out the pumpkin shape from the fruit, you can add the details with edible markers or use kiwis, grapes, or berries as eyes, nose, and mouth of the jack-o-lantern.
2. Ghostly Bananas
Another fun and easy way to decorate your fruit platter is to use bananas as ghosts. Use a sharpie or edible markers to draw ghostly faces on the bananas. You can also add a popsicle stick at the bottom to make them look like ghostly popsicles.
3. Candy Corn Fruit Cups
To create these colorful and fun fruit cups, start by cutting the fruit of your choice into small, bite-sized pieces. Layer the fruits in a clear cup or Mason jar to create the classic candy corn color pattern – pineapple chunks on the bottom, then mandarin orange slices, and ending with whipped cream.
4. Vampire Teeth Apples
Transform your favorite red apples into vampire teeth by cutting out a triangle from the top of each apple and remove the core. Then, spread some peanut butter on the inside of each apple and place mini marshmallows on top of the peanut butter to create the fangs. You can also add some edible blood (glaze, raspberry sauce, or grenadine) for a gory effect.
5. Fruit Kabobs
Fruit kabobs are a fun and easy way to add a Halloween twist to your fruit platter. Cut different fruits such as strawberries, grapes, and mangoes into fun Halloween shapes using cookie cutters, and thread them on to skewers. You can also dip the fruit kabobs into yogurt with food coloring to create a fun, spooky effect.
6. Spooky Eyes
Add spooky eyes to your fruits to give them a creepy touch. To create this look, use edible markers to draw eyes on the fruit, or add slices of kiwi, grapes, or berries as pupils and surround them with a circle of white marshmallow.
7. Frankenstein Apples
Turn your apples into the famous Halloween character, Frankenstein, by giving them green faces and bolts. To create this look, cut out a mouth, nose, and scar shape from black licorice and attach them to the apple using toothpicks. Use melted chocolate to attach two small pretzel sticks on each side of the apple as bolts.
In conclusion, these creative and easy ways of decorating your fruit for Halloween are sure to make your fruit platter stand out in the party while impressing your guests with your creativity. Get creative and enjoy the spooky season!
