5. Kiwi Frankensteins: Cut the kiwi fruits in half, peel ½ of the skin off and insert pretzel sticks as arms. Place edible eyeballs on top and finish with a fondant mouth.
6. Marshmallow Ghosts: Cut slits in the bottom of the white marshmallows to create a ghostly look and use black fondant to draw eyes.
   Spider Brie: Roll black fondant into a spider shape with 8 legs and place it on top of the Brie.
