Red-themed Halloween platter featuring fun and spooky fruit, wafers, and cherry tomato snacks.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 red apples
- 100 grams white chocolate
- 6 wafers
- 1 teaspoon strawberry jam
- 2 tablespoons icing sugar
- 6 pretzel sticks

Instructions
Poison apples
- Melt the white chocolate.
- Place the white chocolate into a piping utensil or bag.
- Shape the eyes and the nose with white chocolate.
- Then add the chocolate around the face.
- It’s great if some of the chocolate drips a bit.

Bloody wafer band-aids
- Make a simple frosting using icing sugar and a tiny bit of water. You don’t need a lot, so mix a heaped tablespoon of icing sugar and a teaspoon of water. Adjust until you have the consistency you like.
- Add the frosting to the wafers to resemble gauze in the middle.
- Use a little strawberry jam for the blood.
- Top with candy eyes.
Tomato eyes
- Halve some cherry tomatoes.
- Stick an eye on the rounded top of one half. You can use edible glue.
- Add melted white chocolate to the other half. Alternatively, you can scoop the inside and fill it with cream cheese.
- Top with a candy eye.
Watermelon worms
- Slice the top of a watermelon.
- Stick a metal straw into the watermelon.
- Place your finger over the top of the straw and move it back and forth slightly.
- You should be able to pull out a long piece of watermelon.
- Place little candy eyes on top.
Strawberry brooms
- Use a metal straw to make a hole at the top of your strawberries.
- Insert the pretzel sticks.
- Top the strawberries with candy eyes (you can use some edible glue).
