Put a sweet twist on your Halloween traditions! Turn a watermelon into a spooky Mummy or a grinning Jack O’Melon for a centerpiece that’s frightfully fun—and filled with delicious possibilities.
Ready to get carving? Here are a few tricks for your treat:
🍉 Start with a room-temperature watermelon for easier cutting.
🍉 Cut a thin, flat slice from the bottom to create a stable base.
🍉 Sketch your design with a dry-erase marker before cutting.
🍉 Let an adult handle the carving while little helpers draw spooky faces.
🍉 Save the scooped-out fruit for a bowl of watermelon balls, or blend leftover pieces into refreshing juice!
For a mummy masterpiece, wrap your carved watermelon in gauze, add a battery-operated light, and place a bowl of watermelon balls in the top. It’s a decoration and a sweet treat all in one! 👻
