Apple Monsters

Apple monsters

Serves: 8

Try yellow or green apples for more color and fun!

Ingredients

  • 1 apple
  • 1/3 cup, plus 2 teaspoons peanut butter, divided (use soy or sunflower butter for peanut allergies)
  • Puffed rice cereal
  • 4 red grapes, each sliced vertically in half
  • 8 green grapes
  • 16 chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Wash hands with soap and warm water.
  2. Quarter and core the apple so you have 16 thin wedges.
  3. Spread 1 teaspoon peanut butter on each apple slice.
  4. Lay half of the apple slices on top of the other halves to create the "mouth."
  5. Push puffed rice "teeth" gently into the peanut butter.
  6. Place one red grape half in the center of each bottom slice to create the "tongue."
  7. To create the "eyes," slice the ends off the green grapes, then cut each grape in half horizontally. Using the tip of the knife, make a small slit in the top of each grape half, then place a chocolate chip, pointy-end down, into the grape, pushing the point into the slit you cut.
  8. Place two dabs of peanut butter on the top portion of each "mouth," then gently press a grape "eye" onto each dab.
  9. Enjoy immediately, or store in the refrigerator for an hour or two before serving.
