Edible Monster Mouths Recipes

EDIBLE MONSTER MOUTHS

Steps:

• Before you begin, cut the apple into wedges and slices (I used a slice for the bottom for stability and then a wedge for the upper lip but you don't have to get that complicated).
• Stick a toothpick in the bottom of each of the large, halved marshmallows. Dip each Cheerio (or raisin) in a bit of peanut butter and place in middle of marshmallow to resemble an eyeball.
• Give your child two apple wedges that will represent the lips of the monster mouth; dry them off on a paper towel.
• Spread peanut butter on one side of each wedge.
• Place 1 piece of apricot, sticky side down on the bottom of the mouth for a tongue.
• Place a line of 4 mini-marshmallows into the peanut butter along the bottom apple wedge (you need to put extra peanut butter on the mini-marshmallow that goes rests on the apricot). These will be the monster's teeth!
• Stack the other apple wedge, peanut butter side down, on top of the marshmallows and press down slightly.
• Take two of the eyeballs on toothpicks and place in the top of the top lip.
• The monster mouth is finished! Your child should feel free to play with his food before eating up this healthy snack.

MONSTER MOUTHS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°. Stir baking mix and 2/3 cup milk until soft dough forms. Turn dough onto surface dusted with baking mix; gently roll in baking mix to coat. Shape into ball; knead 10 times.
• Roll dough 1/2 inch thick. Cut with 2 1/2-inch round cutter. Roll edges of biscuits in 3 tablespoons milk, then roll in colored sugar. Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely.
• Split biscuits three-fourths of the way through with sharp knife. Cut 8 tongue shapes, about 3x1 inch, from fruit rolls. Place each tongue on center of biscuit bottom, letting tongue hang out of biscuit. Stand raisins between biscuit halves for teeth.

HUNGRY APPLE MONSTERS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Slice apple into quarters, slicing around the core.
• Carefully carve a slice out of one of the quarters, careful not to slice all the way through and separate the apple. This creates the "mouth."
• Remove the center slice and spread the bottom half with nut butter.
• Press the sunflowers into the top side of the "mouth" to create the "teeth."
• Enjoy!
