Method
 

Prep
  1. Start by peeling about 8-10 clementines. Cut celery sticks into 2-inch pieces to serve as the stalks. Insert celery pieces into the tops of clementines. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  2. In a bowl, mix 1 cup of icing sugar with a few tablespoons of cold water until thick. Dip sweet mini peppers into icing and attach edible sugar eyeballs. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.
  3. Dice 2 cups of cantaloupe into cubes. Assemble skewers with cantaloupe, black grapes, and white marshmallows. Melt 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips and draw faces on marshmallows.
  4. Cut slices of white bread into ghost shapes. Spread peanut butter between two slices to make sandwiches. Use black olives as eyes. Chill for at least 15 minutes.
  5. Slice 2-3 apples into quarters. Spread peanut butter on apple slices and stack quarters. Add mini marshmallows for teeth and secure with toothpicks.
  6. On a large platter, arrange all prepared snacks creatively, filling any gaps with assorted shop-bought snacks.
