Possible Variations

Cantaloupe: Replace cantaloupe with any orange-colored fruits such as chunks of clementines, physalis, abricots, nectarine, oranges, or even mango.
Blackberries: Swap for blueberries or blackberries, or use any chocolate-covered fruit.
Add-ons: Fresh mint, chocolate balls, candy eyes, or orange-colored sweets and treats the kids will love.

How to Make a Halloween Fruit Platter

Slice the melon and use a melon baller to scoop out the half-spheres.

A hand uses a melon baller to scoop round pieces from a halved cantaloupe set on a wooden cutting board.

Arrange the melon balls on a serving platter.
Top with the blackberries.
Add plastic spiders to decorate.

How to Store Leftovers

Keep leftovers covered or transfer them to an airtight container. Store in the fridge and enjoy within one day. Or freeze them in a single layer to use (in fruit smoothies) within three months.

Halloween Fruit Platter FAQs

Can I prepare the Halloween fruit platter in advance?

Yes, you can make it a few hours ahead and keep it in the fridge until serving.

I don’t have plastic spiders. Can I still make the Halloween fruit platter?

Since the fruit is black and orange, the platter will still look festive without them.
