These Easy Candy Corn Halloween Fruit Skewers are a fun, festive, and healthy treat that mimics the iconic candy corn colors using fresh pineapple, mandarin oranges, and marshmallows. Perfect for Halloween parties, they come together in under 15 minutes with no baking required.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 medium fresh pineapple, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1–2 cans mandarin oranges in light syrup or juice, drained well
  • 1 bag large marshmallows
  • 6-inch wooden skewers

Instructions

  1. Prep the Pineapple: Cut off the top and bottom of the pineapple. Stand it upright and slice off the skin in strips, following the curve of the fruit. Remove any remaining ‘eyes’ with the tip of your knife. Cut the pineapple into 1-inch thick rounds, then into 1-inch cubes. Pat the cubes dry with a paper towel.
  2. Drain the Oranges: Open the cans of mandarin oranges and dump them into a colander. Let them drain for at least 5 minutes. Gently pat them dry with paper towels.
  3. Prepare the Marshmallows: Open the bag of marshmallows. If they are super fresh and sticky, let them sit out on a plate for an hour to get a bit stale.
  4. Assemble the Skewers: Take a wooden skewer and thread the ingredients in this order from bottom to top: Pineapple cube (yellow) → Mandarin orange segment (orange) → Marshmallow (white). Push them gently but snugly together. Leave about half an inch of the skewer exposed at the bottom as a handle.
  5. Arrange and Serve: Place the finished skewers on a serving platter. Arrange them in a pattern, like a fan or a grid. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.

Notes

For best results, use a ripe but firm pineapple. Pat all fruit dry to prevent soggy skewers. Let fresh marshmallows sit out for an hour to make them easier to skewer without cracking. You can prep the fruit a day in advance and assemble the skewers the day of the event. For a vegan version, use vegan marshmallows. For a low-sugar option, skip the marshmallow and use a cube of firm white cheese.
