  • 50 grams white chocolate
  • 9 candy eyes
  • metal straw
  • parchment paper

Instructions

  • Instructions for the Mellow Melon Pumpkin:
  • Halve the cantaloupe.
  • Peel the outer layer off the melon using a knife or vegetable peeler.
  • Remove the seeds with a spoon.
  • Slice the melon into five pieces and arrange them on a platter.

  • Cut the cucumber slices at an angle.
  • Make the eyes using a metal straw.
  • Cut out the mouth with the small petal-shaped cutter.
  • Trim or zig-zag the bottom of the ghosts by hand (I used a dress cookie cutter I have).
  • Instructions for the Cyclop Spiders:
  • Melt the dark chocolate. You can melt it in a bain marie, microwave or directly in a pot on low heat, just be sure to stir constantly.
  • Place the chocolate in a piping utensil / bag.
  • Add a blob of chocolate on one side of a grape and attach it to another grape. I placed them on an ice cube to make the chocolate set faster.
  • Pipe the eight legs onto parchment paper and top with the double grapes.
  • Use a bit of dark chocolate to make the candy eye stick to the spider.
  • Allow to set and remove carefully from the parchment paper.
