Description

Create spooky and fun Halloween Apple Monster Mouths using fresh apples, creamy peanut butter, and a variety of edible ‘teeth’ like mini marshmallows, candy corn, or almond slivers. These easy no-bake treats are perfect for a healthy snack or party platter, combining the crunch of apples with the creamy texture of peanut butter and whimsical candy eyes for a festive and delicious Halloween delight.


Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

  • 3 large apples

Spread

  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter

Teeth & Decoration

  • Mini marshmallows, or candy corn, or almond slivers (to make teeth)
  • Candy eyes

Preservative

  • Sprite or lemon juice (to keep apples from browning)


Instructions

  1. Core and Slice Apples: Remove the core from each apple. Using an apple slicer or a sharp knife, cut the apples into slices to form the base of your monster mouths.
  2. Prevent Browning: Dip the apple slices in lemon juice or Sprite to prevent them from browning and to keep them fresh and appealing.
  3. Assemble Mouths: Take two apple slices and spread a generous layer of creamy peanut butter on one side of one slice. Use the peanut butter as glue to press the two slices together, forming a mouth.
  4. Add the Teeth: Stick mini marshmallows, candy corn, or almond slivers into the peanut butter between the slices to create the monster’s teeth. Use toothpicks if needed to secure the slices together.
  5. Decorate with Eyes: Place candy eyes on the top apple slice to complete your spooky monster look.
  6. Serve Immediately: Serve these apple monster mouths fresh for the best taste and texture, or refrigerate briefly to keep them crisp.

Notes

  • Ensure to dip the apple slices quickly in lemon juice or Sprite to avoid browning.
  • Use creamy peanut butter for easier spreading and better adhesion of the ‘teeth.’
  • Almond slivers provide a healthier alternative to marshmallows or candy corn for the monster teeth.
  • These treats make a great addition to Halloween party trays, offering a nutritious yet fun snack option.
  • Use toothpicks carefully if children will be eating the monsters to avoid any choking hazards.
