Description

These Halloween Apple Monster Mouths are a fun and spooky treat perfect for kids and adults alike. Crisp apple slices are held together with creamy peanut butter to create a mouth shape, and decorated with candy eyes and candy corn or mini marshmallows to resemble monster teeth. It’s a quick, healthy, and festive snack that brings a playful twist to your Halloween celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

  • 3 large apples

Spreads

  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter

Decorations / Add-ins

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

Other

  • Sprite or lemon juice to keep apples from browning

Instructions

  1. Core and slice apples: Remove the core from each apple and slice them into even pieces. Using an apple slicer can make this process easier and faster.
  2. Prevent browning: Dip the apple slices in lemon juice or Sprite briefly to prevent them from turning brown and to keep them looking fresh.
  3. Assemble monster mouths: Take two apple slices and spread peanut butter on one side of each slice. Use the peanut butter as the adhesive to stick the two slices together, forming a mouth shape. If needed, use toothpicks to secure the slices together for extra stability.
  4. Add teeth: Stick mini marshmallows, candy corn, or almond slivers into the peanut butter lining the inside of the mouth to create spooky monster teeth.
  5. Decorate with eyes: Attach candy eyes to the top apple slice using small amounts of peanut butter to give your monster a creepy and fun look.

Notes

  • You can use any variety of apples depending on your taste preference, but tart apples like Granny Smith offer a nice contrast to the sweet peanut butter.
  • For nut-free versions, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter or any other nut-free spread.
  • To keep the monster mouths fresh longer, keep them refrigerated and consume within the same day.
  • If toothpicks are used to secure the slices, remove them before serving to children to avoid choking hazards.
