Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- ½ cantaloupe scooped with a melon baller
- 20 large blackberries
- 20 large green grapes thinly sliced on top
Decorations
- 20 small candy eyeballs
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit: Using a melon baller, scoop out ½ of a cantaloupe into bite-sized balls. Thinly slice the top of the green grapes carefully to create a surface to attach the candy eyeballs.
- Assemble the Kabobs: Layer the cantaloupe balls, blackberries, and green grapes onto skewers following your preferred pattern, ensuring that each skewer has at least 2 pieces of each fruit.
- Attach Candy Eyeballs: Place one candy eyeball inside the thinly sliced top portion of each grape, gently pressing to adhere the eyeball securely to the fruit.
- Serve: Arrange the completed kabobs on a serving platter and serve immediately for the freshest taste and best presentation.
Notes
- Use wooden or bamboo skewers for easy handling and presentation.
- For safety, if serving to young children, cut skewer tips or use plastic alternatives.
- To make the kabobs last longer before serving, keep them refrigerated but add candy eyeballs last to prevent melting.
- Substitute cantaloupe with honeydew or watermelon for a different flavor profile.
- For a vegan option, ensure candy eyeballs do not contain gelatin or animal-derived ingredients.
