HALLOWEEN TREAT: Snack-O-Lanterns Fruit Cups


I've been looking for some new activities, recipes and such to help spice up the holiday's for my daughters. Things have been a bit rough lately and I want  to make sure they have the best Holiday Season yet!

I found a super simple recipe that puts a new twist on fruit cups with a Halloween touch. These little guys are fun and festive and kids love 'em! (Grown-ups do too!) Snack-O-Lanterns are perfect for any Halloween themed party and are sure to be a conversation starter. They're also great for a quick festive snack for the kiddo's.

You will need:

Oranges
2 or more fresh fruits of your choice
(strawberries, peaches, mango, etc.)
Sharp kitchen knife
Spoon
Plastic spoons or forks


To make Snack-O-Lanterns you simply:

  • Slice the top off of the oranges and hollow them out with a spoon. Do not throw away the top piece.
  • Dice a bit of the orange into cubes and set them to the side.
  • Dice up the other fruits into cubes as well and mix together with orange cubes. You can also use pre-made fruit cups from the grocery store.
  • Carve faces into the oranges to make them look like Jack-O-Lanterns.
  • Add the fruit the orange bowl.
  • With the knife slice a hole in the center of the top piece and slide the handle of plastic silverware through the hole and place into orange bowl to finish off the Snack-O-Lanterns.
All that's left to do now is serve them and watch as your guests eat 'em up!!! (Of course you'll be eating one too!)


Grow yourself a Fruit Salad Tree!
You can grow 5 fruits on 1 tree!! How cool is that?

  1. This is really cute! I think it would work for year round too, because it doesn't have to be a jack-o-lantern cut out...it could just be a smiley face. Or even without a face at all, it's still fun and cute for kids.

    1. I agree! I didn't think of cutting out different decorations! Easter would work great as well! You can cut out designs and have an orange egg!! Thx for the neat idea!
