Easy green monster fruit snack
This easy green monster fruit snack plate is a cute, fun and healthy Halloween snack for kids!
Yield: 1 fruit monster
Ingredients
- 15-20 green grapes
- ¼ green apple, cut into slices
- 2-4 slices of mandarin orange (see notes)
- 1 small strawberry
- 2 + mini marshmallows
- 2 + mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Arrange the green grapes into the body of the monster, making it whatever shape you like. You can also cut some in half to use for antenna.
- Arrange the green apple slices for the arms. Make as many arms as you like.
- Use the mandarin orange sections for the legs.
- Cut the strawberry in half lengthwise and cut at diagonal angles to make “teeth.” Put two sides together to make your mouth. (See notes)
- To make the eyes, take a mini chocolate chip and insert the pointy end into the middle of a mini marshmallow to get it to stick. Make as many eyes for your monster as you want!
Notes
You can use fresh or canned mandarin orange slices. You could also substitute more apple slices (green or red) or use pretzel rods for the legs.
Instead of the strawberry mouth, you could use extra mandarin oranges or a red apple slice to make a smile or frown face or come up with your own funny face!
The quantities above are enough to make a medium monster plate. Feel free to increase the quantities and make your monster on a larger platter for a group or have the kids each make their own small plate to arrange and decorate.
