Instructions
  1. Cut the cantaloupe and honeydew melons in half, remove seeds, and scoop out balls using a melon baller or small spoon. Set aside.

  7. Serve immediately and enjoy your spooky fruit platter!

For extra fun, use cookie cutters to create different shapes from the melon. You can also add other fruits like strawberries or raspberries.
