Halloween How To: Snack o’ Lantern Fruit Cups
I started making these about three years ago when the Bandit was in preschool. They were always a big hit and a healthy alternative to most Halloween snacking, so they were school appropriate. If you have a lot to make be sure to leave yourself plenty of time as these can be very time consuming! I first seen these in Disney Family Fun Magazine but now it seems to be everywhere! Have fun with your kids! They will enjoy helping to make these!
Orange Jack-O-Lanterns filled with Fruit
Total: 20 minutes
Servings: 3
Ingredients
- 3 Oranges (in this case I used Grapefruit Oranges)
- ½ cup Blackberries
- ½ cup Blueberries
- ½ cup Strawberries (sliced)
You can use any fruit you like. I also love using grapes or anything easy for finger eating.
Instructions
Rinse all fruit. Dry. 
Using a straight edged knife on your grapefruit orange, turn knife inward at an angle while making a complete circle.
This will release the top of your grapefruit orange. Remove and set top aside.
Begin to remove the inside of the grape fruit or angle by using a small spoon.

Once the grapefruit orange is empty, use a small knife to cut out your jack-o-lantern face! Be creative. You can carve square eyes, triangle eyes, a smile, or big teeth! Have fun!
Slice the very top from 3 strawberries. Use this as a garnish on top of your orange jack-o-lantern! You can secure it with a toothpick, or a dab of honey.
Slice the strawberries into quarters and then in half again.
Evenly distribute the blackberries, blueberries, and strawberries into each jack-o-lantern. Use a toothpick or tiny spoon to serve. Your family, friends, and children will love these friendly Halloween treats!
