Frankenstein Kiwi Recipe
These adorable Frankenstein Kiwis transform fresh kiwi into a fun Halloween snack with pretzel bolts, candy eyes, and melted chocolate. With only four ingredients and no baking required, they’re an easy Halloween fruit idea for kids, parties, and spooky snack boards.
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 4 fresh kiwis
- 8 small pretzel sticks
- 3 tablespoons chocolate chips
- 16 candy eyes
Instructions
- Cut each kiwi in half lengthwise. Cut about ⅔ of the skin off each kiwi, leaving the skin around the top to create Frankenstein’s “hair.” Cut the remaining kiwi skin into a jagged hairline.
- Place the chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted. Stir until completely smooth.
- Break ½-inch end pieces from each pretzel stick. Gently press one pretzel piece into each side of the kiwi to create Frankenstein’s bolts.
- Using a toothpick, dab a small amount of melted chocolate onto the backs of the candy eyes and attach two eyes to each kiwi. Use the remaining melted chocolate to draw a mouth and scar onto each Frankenstein face.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate until the chocolate has hardened.

Notes
For the easiest decorating, use a toothpick to apply the melted chocolate. Each Frankenstein can look a little different, so don’t worry about creating perfectly identical faces.
