You\u2019ll be seeing a lot of Halloween-themed entries here on What About Watermelon this month. I\u2019ll post entries about the best and worst watermelon costumes, why people carve pumpkins and not watermelon for Halloween, and I\u2019ll even teach you how to make a cool watermelon brain for your party.<\/p>\n

Both of this month\u2019s featured recipe entries will focus on Halloween, too \u2013 starting with this one for \u201cWatermelon Fangs.\u201d If you\u2019re throwing a Halloween party or attending one, these toothy little appetizers would be a nice addition to the refreshment table.<\/p>\n

The recipe calls for desiccated coconut (dried coconut flakes) to make the white teeth. That\u2019ll probably work, but I\u2019m willing to bet you can find some sort of white frosting that you can dip the teeth into for a brighter, whiter vampire smile. Maybe you could even add some drops of red food coloring blood to some of the fangs to complete the look. I\u2019ll leave that detail up to you, but in my opinion, fangs without blood are just pointy teeth. Or the sign of a lazy vampire.<\/p>\n

WATERMELON FANGS<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/h4>\n

INGREDIENTS<\/h4>\n
    \n
  • Watermelon<\/li>\n
  • \u00bc cup desiccated coconut<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    DIRECTIONS:<\/h4>\n

    Wipe rind of watermelon to remove any dirt. Cut watermelon into 16 slices. Use a small knife to cut a zigzag pattern of fangs into each piece of melon. Arrange melon pieces into 8 \u201cmouths\u201d and sprinkle the pointy bits with coconut to make the white fangs.<\/p>\n

    By the way, I\u2019ll be making this recipe (with the white frosting teeth) and the watermelon brain featured next week for a Halloween party later this month. I\u2019ll take pictures and post my creations on October 31. If anyone else makes this recipe, take a picture and I\u2019ll post it along with mine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
