Halloween fruit kabobs are so good!
When I need something festive but not made of pure sugar, these Halloween fruit kabobs are my go-to. They’re just cantaloupe, blackberries, and grapes stacked on skewers, but once you add those little candy eyeballs, they turn into the cutest spooky snack. It’s a nice break from all the chocolate and candy, and the kids still think they’re fun to eat.
What I like most about these Halloween fruit skewers is that they double as an activity. The kids can help build their own and stick the eyeballs on (which usually ends in giggles and a lot of “look, it’s staring at me” jokes).
Happy Cooking!

Halloween Fruit Kebab Ingredients
- Skewers: Any wooden skewer will do, but these are my favorite (they’re long AND sturdy).
- Melon: I love using cantaloupe for these fruit skewers, but if you’re not a fan, honeydew or watermelon are great substitutes.
- Blackberries: Blackberries are my favorite berry for these skewers, but raspberries or blueberries are excellent stand-ins.
- Grapes: Look for large green grapes if you can (though red or black grapes will work, too).
- Candy Eyeballs: These should be pretty easy to find online, but if you’re having trouble tracking them down, a dab of melted white chocolate and a small raisin will do the trick.
How to Make Halloween Fruit Kabobs
Halloween Fruit Kabob Recipe
Ingredients
- ½ cantaloupe scooped with a melon baller
- 20 large blackberries
- 20 large green grapes top thinly sliced
- 20 small candy eyeballs
Instructions
- Layer the fruit onto the skewers using your preferred pattern of choice, making sure each skewer has at least 2 of each fruit.

Equipment
Notes
- My Top Tip: Pop your Halloween fruit skewers in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes before serving to make the fruit even more refreshing (and to help the candy eyeballs stick better to the grapes).
- Storage: Place your Halloween fruit skewers in an airtight container or wrap them well in plastic wrap, then store them in the fridge for up to two days.

Recipe Tips
- Push your fruit close together on the skewer. Try not to leave gaps between the fruit pieces on the skewer! This will make the skewer look fuller, and it will also help the pieces for fruit support one another.
- Chill before serving. Pop your Halloween fruit skewers in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes before serving to make the fruit even more refreshing (and to help the candy eyeballs stick better to the grapes).
