Skeleton Veggie Platter

BOO! The spookiest time of year is back and we are more than ready to show you the cutest way to surprise your guests! This recipe is definitely different from our usual sweets but it is so much fun and a great way to get your kids to eat their veggies. Feel free to substitute any of the veggies or dip in here to ones that you'd prefer. And as always, share your creations with us on Facebook and Instagram and our Facebook group page, The Baketivity Community! Have fun and enjoy! Make sure to store this veggie platter in the fridge until it is time to serve and enjoy! :) Ingredients:

10-15 slices of cucumber
4 carrots
A handful of cauliflower
2-4 stalks of celery
10-12 green pepper slivers
2 green olives
3/4 cups ranch
Serving platter
ramekin

Directions:

Begin by washing all of your veggies to make sure they are cleaned and ready to go, then pat them dry.
Slice up the cucumbers, cauliflower, celery and peppers then set aside.
Pour the ranch dressing into a ramekin and place two green olives on top. These are the eyes for the skeleton.
Slice up a sliver of green pepper in very small strips to create the mouth. Place the mouth below the eyes inside the ramekin.
To begin your skeleton, begin by laying a line of cucumber slices down then place the ramekin at the top of your serving platter. Use the picture as a guide while assembling your skeleton.
Place down the slivers of green peppers that are acting as the ribs.
Next, use the celery, carrots and cauliflower to create the collarbone and arms.
Lastly, use the remaining cauliflower and celery to complete the bottom half of your skeleton.
Feel free to move things around or add more veggies to get it just right.
Have fun ad enjoy!

Frequently asked questions

What comes in a Baketivity baking kit?

Each Baketivity baking kit includes pre-measured dry ingredients, easy step-by-step instructions, and fun educational activities designed for kids. Our recipes are created to help children learn real kitchen skills while baking something delicious with their family.

Do I need to buy additional ingredients?

You may only need to add a few fresh ingredients like eggs, butter, or milk, depending on the recipe. Most of the dry ingredients come pre-measured in the kit, making baking simple, convenient, and mess-free for kids.

What equipment do I need to use the baking kits?

Most families already have everything they need at home. Typically you'll need mixing bowls, a whisk, fork or spoon, measuring cups, and a lined baking pan. Some recipes may also require a microwave-safe bowl or oven.

What age are Baketivity baking kits best for?

Baketivity baking kits are designed for kids ages 4–16. Younger children may need a little help from a parent, while older kids can follow the instructions more independently and build confidence in the kitchen.

Do your baking kits contain nuts?

Nuts are not directly included in the recipes or ingredient lists. However, some components may be produced in facilities that also process nuts, sesame seeds, soy, and gluten, so trace amounts may be present.

Are Baketivity baking kits kosher?

Yes! All ingredients included in Baketivity baking kits are OU-certified kosher, and our facility is FDA-approved, so families can bake and enjoy their treats with confidence.

My ingredients feel hard or clumpy. Is that normal?

Yes! Our ingredients are vacuum-packed to keep them fresh, which can sometimes make them feel firm or clumpy. Simply open the bag and give it a shake, and the ingredients will loosen up and be ready to use.
