Spooky Mini Lantern Cup

Make Halloween sweet and healthy with these spooky jack-O (for orange)-lantern cups!   Ingredients: Oranges Your choice of cut fruit Dark candy melts   Directions: 1. With a sharp knife, cut off the top of the oranges. Use a spoon to scoop out the inside of the orange. Keep this so you can use it for the fruit inside later. 2. Very carefully, cut out pumpkin faces on your oranges just like you would on a real jack-o-lantern. 3. Fill your orange jack-o-lantern with a mix of cut fruit. 4. Optional: Melt your candy melts and pipe pumpkin stalk shapes on parchment paper. Allow these to set, and then place them on the top of the orange. 5. Eat fresh or store these in the fridge until when you’re ready for your spooky snack!   Recipe By: Daniella Park @Buttercremelane

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.
