Your little goblins will be thrilled to eat some healthy Halloween snacks when you put these Apple Monster Mouths on their plates. Made with apples, peanut butter, strawberries and bananas, these scary treats will get your trick-or-treaters off to a healthy start.

Ingredients

  • 2 Granny Smith apples, cored and quartered
  • 8 tsp peanut butter
  • 3 tbsp sunflower seeds
  • 2 strawberries, sliced
  • 1 small banana, sliced
  • 16 dark chocolate chips

Preparation

With a paring knife, cut the middles of the quartered apples to look like mouths. Spread the bottom of each of the “mouths” with about ¾ teaspoon peanut butter. Push sunflower seeds into the top of each apple “mouth” to create “teeth.”

Arrange a strawberry slice into the “mouth” to make the “tongue.”

To make the “eyes,” apply about ¼ teaspoon peanut butter on the top of the apple. On each apple quarter, arrange 2 banana circles on the peanut butter and insert the chocolate chips in the center of the banana circles. Serve immediately.
