I hope you all had a Fangtastic Halloween. For any kids or adults recovering from a sugar rush, here’s an idea to curb the candy overload. These Jack-o’-Lantern fruit cups are great alternatives to enjoy sweets while staying nourished. These spooky fruit cups are so easy to make, and kids can build their own cup by choosing what fruits they want in there! They are super cute and fun, and I promise the kiddos will love them! 

Yield: 8 servings 

Ingredients 

8 Small Navel Oranges  

1 Small Apple, Chopped 

½ Cup Halved Seedless Red Grapes  

Any desired fruits 

Slivered Almonds
