Apple Monster Mouths Food

HUNGRY APPLE MONSTERS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Slice apple into quarters, slicing around the core.
• Carefully carve a slice out of one of the quarters, careful not to slice all the way through and separate the apple. This creates the "mouth."
• Remove the center slice and spread the bottom half with nut butter.
• Press the sunflowers into the top side of the "mouth" to create the "teeth."
• Enjoy!

APPLE MONSTER MOUTHS

Steps:

• Beat cream cheese with mixer until creamy. Add sugar and vanilla; mix well.
• Cut thin wedge in peel side of each apple piece; fill with 1 tsp. cream cheese mixture. Insert 4 to 6 nuts in cream cheese mixture in each apple to resemble teeth.
• Spoon remaining cream cheese mixture into serving bowl. Serve with apples for dipping.

EDIBLE MONSTER MOUTHS

Steps:

• Before you begin, cut the apple into wedges and slices (I used a slice for the bottom for stability and then a wedge for the upper lip but you don't have to get that complicated).
• Stick a toothpick in the bottom of each of the large, halved marshmallows. Dip each Cheerio (or raisin) in a bit of peanut butter and place in middle of marshmallow to resemble an eyeball.
• Give your child two apple wedges that will represent the lips of the monster mouth; dry them off on a paper towel.
• Spread peanut butter on one side of each wedge.
• Place 1 piece of apricot, sticky side down on the bottom of the mouth for a tongue.
• Place a line of 4 mini-marshmallows into the peanut butter along the bottom apple wedge (you need to put extra peanut butter on the mini-marshmallow that goes rests on the apricot). These will be the monster's teeth!
• Stack the other apple wedge, peanut butter side down, on top of the marshmallows and press down slightly.
• Take two of the eyeballs on toothpicks and place in the top of the top lip.
• The monster mouth is finished! Your child should feel free to play with his food before eating up this healthy snack.
