Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Green Apple Monsters

  • Wash three green apples thoroughly under cool water, quarter each apple and carefully slice out the core and seeds, creating a clean, flat surface.
  • Spread a thin layer of creamy peanut butter into each monster mouth you’ve created.
  • Press several pumpkin or sunflower seeds along the edge of each mouth, securing them into the peanut butter.
  • Take sliced cheddar or Colby jack cheese and cut it into triangular pieces. Place one triangle into each monster mouth beside the 'teeth' you've created.
  • Using a small amount of peanut butter, dab it on the back of each candy eye to act as glue. Place two candy eyes on top of the apple slices.
  • Arrange the assembled Green Apple Monsters on a fun serving platter or directly on plates and serve immediately.
