Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Course Snack
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 1 apple
  • 1/4 cup of peanut butter
  • yogurt covered raisins OR almond slivers OR mini marshmallows
  • red food coloring

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, add 8 drops of red food coloring to the peanut butter and mix well to make it more the color of a mouth.
  • Slice off the sides of the apple leaving a 1" section in the middle which includes the core.
  • Slice each of the sides in half and then cut out a wedge in each to make a mouth.
  • If you are making these up in advance, use lemon juice on cut areas of apple to minimize browning.
  • Fill the mouth with the colored peanut butter.
  • If your apples are small, only one row of teeth will fit.
  • Place the marshmallows, almond slivers or yogurt covered raisins to form one row of teeth on the top and then a row on the bottom (if you have room). If you are using marshmallows, allow them to sit open on a counter for about an hour to begin to dry out, so they are easier to cut.
  • Use scissors and cut diagonally to form sharp fangs or horizontally to make teeth.
  • Use a knife to trim almond slivers if you want a nice straight edge for teeth.
