Prep time: 20 minutes 

Ingredients: 

• 3 Granny Smith apples (or apple of choice), quartered and core removed 
• ¼-½ cup smooth peanut butter, or choice of nut or seed butter 
• ¼ cup strawberries, sliced 
• Pine nuts, slivered almonds, sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds 
• 4 mango cheeks, cut into a criss cross pattern 
• 2 bananas, halved 
• ½ cup blueberries 
• Edible candy eyeballs, as needed 

To prepare the apple monsters: 

1. Cut a wedge out of each apple quarter to create the monster ‘mouth’. 
2. Spread 1-2 teaspoons (or as desired) of peanut butter onto the monster ‘mouth’ (the area of the apples you just cut out). 
3. Place a slice of strawberry into the middle of the peanut butter. 
4. Arrange the pine nuts on the peanut butter to resemble monster teeth. If the pine nuts don’t ‘stick’ to the peanut butter, you may need to use a sharp knife to create indents in the apple for each pine nut. Don’t worry about being neat – the monsters are meant to look scary! 
5. Smear some peanut butter on the top of each apple quarter and stick on the candy eyeballs. 

To prepare the mango, banana and blueberry monsters: 

1. Smear some peanut butter on the fruit where you’d like to place the candy eyeballs. 
2. Place the candy eyeballs on the fruit as desired. 
3. Arrange all fruit on a large platter and serve within 3 hours!
