These jack-o'-lantern fruit cups are a healthy fun snack for Halloween!
When I saw this recipe in a magazine at my mom's house, I knew it would be perfect for our annual pumpkin carving party. Since I already had a few desserts planned, I needed something healthier - like fruit! These were fun and easy to carve. But, I think it was even more fun to hear everyone's reaction to them at the party! It was a nice addition to the spread of food, and each one was a perfect single portion.
You can hollow out and carve the oranges a day ahead of time, as long as you keep them refrigerated. Do not fill them with the fruit salad until shortly before serving (up to 2 hours before).
You must admit, these are really cute, right?
