Ingredients
- Fresh apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- Nut butter (peanut butter, almond butter, or sunflower seed butter)
- Mini marshmallows
- Candy eyes
- Optional toppings: raisins, mini chocolate chips, sliced almonds
- Lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and slice the apples into wedges, about ¼-inch thick. You’ll need two wedges per monster mouth.
- Brush the apple slices lightly with lemon juice to prevent browning (optional).
- Spread a generous amount of nut butter across one side of an apple slice.
- Press mini marshmallows into the nut butter along the length of the apple slice to create ‘teeth.’
- Place a second apple slice on top, angled slightly to look like a gaping mouth.
- Use a dab of nut butter as ‘glue’ to stick the candy eyes onto the top apple slice.
- Sprinkle raisins, mini chocolate chips, or sliced almonds on the bite for unique monster personalities.
Notes
Granny Smith apples provide a tart flavor, while Honeycrisp or Fuji apples add sweetness. Encourage kids to design their own monsters for extra fun.
