These Easy Candy Corn Fruit Skewers are the Halloween treat nobody knew they needed. They’re fast, healthy-ish, and actually look impressive on a party table, solving the problem of getting kids to eat fruit when there’s candy nearby.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large bananas, firm but ripe, cut into 1-inch rounds
  • 2 large navel oranges, peeled and segmented (or 3 cups canned mandarin segments, drained)
  • 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 12–15 wooden skewers (6-inch size)
  • Optional: squeeze of fresh lemon juice to prevent banana browning

Instructions

  1. Wash and prep your fruit. Rinse oranges and pineapple under cool water, then pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Cut the pineapple into chunks: slice off top and bottom, remove skin, cut into 1-inch thick rounds, then into 1-inch cubes.
  3. Peel and segment the oranges: cut off top and bottom, slice away peel, then cut between membranes to release segments. If using canned mandarins, drain and pat dry.
  4. Slice the bananas into 1-inch rounds, aiming for uniform thickness.
  5. Pat all fruit pieces dry again with paper towels to remove surface moisture.
  6. Assemble skewers: thread one banana slice first (white tip), then one orange segment (middle), then one pineapple chunk (bottom). Push fruit snugly together with no gaps.
  7. Repeat until all fruit is used, making 12-15 skewers total.
  8. Arrange on a white serving platter in a fan pattern with white tips pointing in the same direction.
  9. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 hours. If making ahead, squeeze lemon juice over bananas to prevent browning.

Notes

Use firm bananas to prevent splitting. Cut fruit into uniform 1-inch pieces for best appearance. Assemble just before serving for freshest look. For toddlers, cut pointed ends off skewers or use popsicle sticks. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
