- Add the “teeth”: Press mini marshmallows or almond slices along the peanut butter edge to form the monster’s teeth. Make them slightly uneven for a fun, spooky effect!2 large vegan marshmallows
- Assemble the mouths: Place another apple wedge on top of the peanut butter side to form a mouth sandwich.
- Decorate the eyes: Use raisins, chocolate chips, or edible googly eyes on top of the apple wedges to give your monsters a silly or scary expression. You can even use a dab of peanut butter to stick the eyes on.Optional decorations: vegan candy eyes
- Serve and enjoy: Arrange your Apple Monster Mouths on a plate and watch them disappear—these spooky snacks are perfect for Halloween parties or a fun school treat.

- These are best eaten fresh, but you can store assembled monsters in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 hours. If prepping longer in advance, keep apple slices separate and assemble just before serving.

Tips & Tricks
- For extra flair, use different colored apples for a more “monstrous” variety.
- Use almond slivers, pumpkin seeds, or sunflower seeds in place of marshmallows for teeth.
- Sunflower seed butter works for nut-free versions.
- You can drizzle a little chocolate or caramel for extra sweetness if desired.
