Can you prep fruit Halloween snacks ahead of time?
Many fruit Halloween snacks can be prepped ahead of time, but it depends on the specific recipe. Oranges, berries, grapes, and melons hold up well to being cut, so things like fruit kabobs can easily be easily prepped ahead.
Simply cut fruit ahead of time and store in airtight containers or resealable plastic bags in the fridge. Assemble when needed.
Bananas and apples are prone to browning and softening but you can help prevent this with a good squeeze lemon juice and storage in an airtight container.
For fruit snacks that require detailed decorating (e.g., drawing faces on banana ghosts) prepare the decorations or other embellishments ahead of time and store separately. Then assemble close to serving time.
Chocolate or candy-dipped fruits often need to be prepped ahead so the coating can cool and set so these are ideal fruit snacks if you want to do lots in advance.
How to store leftover fruit Halloween snacks
Storing leftover fruit Halloween snacks properly is key to keeping them fresh and delicious. Here are some tips to ensure your spooky treats stay in great condition:
Refrigerate Promptly: Most fruits are perishable and will stay fresher longer if kept cool.
Use Airtight Containers or resealable plastic bags to prevent them from drying out and to avoid “fridge smell” – you know what I mean!
Separate Wet and Dry: If your snacks include both wet and dry components store these separately, otherwise the dry will become soggy.
Layer with Paper Towels: to absorb excess liquid from cut fruit and prevent it from becoming mushy.
