Let's get started on how we can assemble these cute Halloween Monster Apple Snacks!
Apples
We will need green apples for this project. I use Granny Smith’s green apples. They taste excellent and all kids love this variety of apples!
Peanut Butter
Besides the fact that peanut butter is delicious, they are super delicious too! The peanut butter will be the glue for this snack project and helps put everything together.
Peanuts
There's something delightfully cute about these crocked teeth made out of peanuts. They stick really well with the peanut butter, and it's so satisfying sticking these teeth in the monster's mouths!
Strawberries
Monsters can't be monsters without a funny tongue to showcase! We are thinly slicing the strawberries as the tongue for the monsters. So cute!
Chocolate chips
I don’t know any kid who doesn’t love chocolate chips, and they are the perfect size for the eyes! I promise you, these eyes are the first to go once these kids see them!
Leftover fondants or dried fruits
The leftover fondants are going to the rim of the eye. It helps enhance the eye and make it pop out more.
It’s okay if you don’t have fondant. You can easily replace it with sliced dried fruits, sliced marshmellow, or any flat circular candies or fruits.
Cheerios Cereal also works very well too!

Halloween Monster Apple Snacks
Ingredients
- 4-5 Granny Smith's Green Apples
- 3 tbsp peant butter smooth
- 3 strawberries medium or small sizes thinly sliced
- 15-20 peanuts
- 1 inch fondant ball or sliced dried fruits or 20 pzs cheerios cereal
- 20 chocolate chips
Instructions
- Wash and dry the apples. Cut the apples in quarters (cut 4 pieces per apple). Also cut out the stem and the core of the apple.
- Take a slice of the apple, and using a paring knife, cut a hole in the center of the the skin of the apple (this is where the mouth will be). Adjust the size of the mouth according to the slice of the strawberries. Each mouth will be different sizes depending on the size of the strawberry.
- Add peanut butter all over the cut hole. Grab a piece of slice strawberry and firmly press it to the mouth. Add the peanuts to the top of the mouth and firmly press the peanuts into mouth as well. You can add as many or as little peanuts here. BE CREATIVE!
- Lastly, take a small piece of fondant and press it down to a flat circular shape (or whatever food you choose that is flat and circular). Tap some peanut butter to the back and front of the circular object. First glue the fondant to the apple slices first and then press the chocolate chips on top.You can add one eye or up to three eyes per monster.
Notes
- To keep the apples from going brown, Dip or brush lime juice to the flesh of the apples.
