Yes, Halloween is largely about candy but it's not always! In fact, you can use fruit to make some of the best Halloween snacks of all. Here we have a viriety of delicious ideas to whet your appetite. We are making banana ghosts, apple teeth, evil eyes and orange pumpkins.
To Start peel the bananas then cut them in half across the middle. Put the cut sides down so they stand up. Now you can use small chocolate chips to make the eyes and large ones to make the mouths. If you have extra chocolate, melt it to use as the 'glue' to help hold the eyes and mouths in place.
For the apple teeth, you need to slice the apples, then spread a layer of peanut butter on to one side of each slice. Now arrange about 6 cashew nuts or mini marshmallows between 2 slices of apple, using the peanut butter to hold them together. If you have some red decorator gel, you can put some 'blood' between some of the teeth for added gore! Add some candy 'eyes' on top too if you want or use those fried egg candies with black food coloring painted over the yellow bit. Finaly use a strawberry slice for the toung.
The evil eye is simple to make. All you need is a grape with a touch of whip cream on top. Add a chocolate samll chip to dot the eye. This is a great treat since it's delicious and fun to eat.
If you want to make the pumpkins too, to add to your monster fruit platter, peel the tangerines, keeping the segments intact. Now chop the celery stalk into 6 pieces and insert one piece into the top center of each satsuma to look like the pumpkin stalk.
