Halloween Snack Platter
Showstopping arrangement featuring spooky and colorful fruits, veggies, and snacks.
Equipment
- piping utensil or bag
Ingredients
- 2 carrots, large
- 6 clementines
- basil, stems
- 20 grapes, red and green
- 100 grams dark chocolate
- 4 red peppers, mini
- 4 yellow peppers, mini
- 4 kiwis
- 20 pretzels sticks
- 10 strawberries
- flaked almonds
- 100 grams cheddar
- 2 slices cantaloupe
- candy eyes
Instructions
Carrot Ghosts
- Cut a 7-8 cm (3 inches) piece of carrot and then slice it.
- Using a knife, curve the top and zig-zag the bottom of each slice.
- Use a metal straw for the eyes and mouth.
Clementine Pumpkins
- Peel the clementines.
- Add a little piece of basil stems on top of the clementines to resemble a pumpkin.
Spooky Eyes
- Melt the dark chocolate.
- Place the melted chocolate in a little bowl.
- Dip the top of the grapes into the chocolate.
- Top with a candy eye and allow to set.
Red and Yellow Pepper Ghosts
- Stick on candy eyes using some edible glue.
- Add a mouth with a metal straw dipped in melted dark chocolate.
Kiwi Frankensteins
- Halve the kiwi lengthwise.
- Cut a line across the top third of the kiwi.
- Use a peeler to remove the skin underneath the line.
- Dry the kiwi with a piece of kitchen towel.
- Top with candy eyes.
- Make the scar and mouth details with melted chocolate and a toothpick.
- Push pretzel stick ends into the side of the Frankensteins.
Strawberry Monster Teeth
- Remove the leaves from the strawberries.
- Dip a small spoon into melted dark chocolate and then onto the front of a strawberry so it resembles a mouth. Use chopped pieces of flaked almonds or white chocolate discs as teeth.
- Allow to set.
Witch Pretzel Broomsticks
- Cut the cheese into little blocks. Mine were about 4 cm. x 2 cm. (1.5 inches x 0.8 inches).
- Trim broom bristles into the bottom half of the block. I made two or three cuts across on both sides.
- Use a metal straw at the top of the block to create a hole. The cheese should come out with the straw if you move it back and forth gently.
- Insert the pretzel stick carefully into the hole.
Melon Tombstones
- Slice the cantaloupe.
- Shape the tombstones by hand. You can use a glass for the curved top.
- Dry off the melon with a piece of kitchen towel (this will ensure the dark chocolate will be set properly).
- Add melted dark chocolate to a piping utensil / bag and shape the word ‘RIP’.
- Allow to set
- Arrange the platter.
