Ingredients

Caterpillar Fruit Kabobs
  • 1 small cantaloupe
  • 1 small sugar baby watermelon or half of a bigger melon!
  • 8 kabob skewers broken in half
  • 32 Candy eyes
Dairy Free Fruit Dip
  • 1 cup vanilla yogurt Dairy free almond yogurt was used, but any vanilla yogurt works in this recipe
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • Juice from a half of a lime
  • Zest from one lime

Instructions

For The Melon Kabobs
    Cup of Yum
  1. Using a melon baller tool, create small round balls of both the watermelon and the cantaloupe.
  2. Crack wooden kabob sticks in half so they are about five to six inches long. Thread watermelon and cantaloupe onto skewers, alternating between the melon types.
  3. Using a toothpick and a few drops of honey, use the honey to stick the eyes onto the fruit caterpillars.
For The Fruit Dip
  1. Zest the outside of the lime with a small grater.
  2. Mix together the lime zest, juice from half of the lime, honey and yogurt.

Notes

  • Any kind of yogurt can be used in this recipe. I chose to make this batch dairy free with almond yogurt but coconut and soy-based yogurts also work. Geek or regular full dairy yogurt can also be substituted.
