Frightening Fruits

Ingredients:

  • Bananas
  • Chocolate chips
  • Clementines
  • Celery

Directions:

For the ghosts, take each banana and slice in half. Add a chocolate chip for the mouth. If you have mini chocolate chips use these for the eyes, and if not slice a regular sized chocolate chip in half. For the pumpkins, peel each clementine, making sure to keep the segments together. Cut small pieces of celery and use these as stems.

Monster Mouths

Ingredients:

  • Apples
  • Lemon Juice
  • Peanut butter
  • Almonds, peeled

Directions:

  1. Slice the apples into pieces that look like lips (just a standard slice will work).
  2. Place the sliced apples in a bowl or lemon water for about 10-15 minutes so they don't brown.
  3. Heavily spread peanut butter on the tops of each apple slice.
  4. Stick the "teeth" into the peanut butter of one apple slice.
  5. Place an apple slice without teeth on top.

Blessings,
