Step-by-Step Instructions for Monster Fruit Skewers

Step 1: Wash and Prepare the Fruits. Begin by washing 2 cups each of green and purple grapes, along with 1 cup of watermelon, and 1 cup of pineapple. Cut the watermelon and pineapple into bite-sized cubes or balls. If you choose to include cantaloupe, honeydew, or berries, prepare these as well.
Step 2: Assemble the Skewers. Take your wooden skewers and start threading the prepared fruits onto them. Alternate colors and shapes for a visually exciting presentation, beginning with a piece of watermelon at the base.
Step 3: Attach the Candy Eyes. Grab your honey or nut butter and a small spoon. Use a dab of your adhesive on select fruit pieces where you want to place the candy eyes. Press the candy eyes onto the adhesive gently.
Step 4: Serve and Display. Arrange your finished Monster Fruit Skewers on a decorated platter, enhancing the Halloween theme with colorful napkins or spooky decorations.
