    Easy green apple monsters with slimy Biscoff spread gums, spiky pumpkin seed teeth, and blood-red strawberry tongues! Don't forget the edible candy eyes!

    A fun and healthy Halloween treat for kids!

    I'm not the most artistic person around (you only need to take a look at my gingerbread skeletons from 2010 to understand what I'm talking about 🤣), so I often get a bit overwhelmed with all the fantastic Halloween-themed recipes I see floating around on Pinterest at this time of year.

    I guessed there must be lots of parents like me, who are... 'ahem'... creatively challenged, so I wanted to make sure these green apple monsters were really easy to make (if I can make them, anyone can!), and quick too (10 minutes max)!

    ✔️ Why you'll love this recipe!

    • Fun and healthy Halloween treat.
    • Quick (10 minutes) and easy to make.
    • Healthy Halloween snack idea for kids.
    • Perfect for Halloween parties.

    🛒 Ingredient notes

    Ingredients for green apple monsters.

    Apples - I used Granny Smith, but any green apple would work.

    Biscoff Spread - smooth Biscoff spread is best, or swap for peanut butter or Nutella.

    Pumpkin Seeds - for the teeth. You could also use sunflower seeds.

    Strawberries - cut into thin slices for the monster tongues.

    Edible Eyes - stuck on with Biscoff spread. If you can't get hold of edible eyes, use raisins or currants.

    🔪 Instructions

    The recipe card with ingredient quantities and detailed instructions can be found at the bottom of the post

    One: Wash and dry the apples then quarter the green apples with a sharp knife and slice off the core and seeds.

    Two: Cut out a v-shape into the centre of the apple quarter for the mouth. Repeat the process with all three apples.

    Three: Spread a layer of Biscoff spread into the mouths.

    Four: Press 4 pumpkin seeds into the top of the mouth to form the monsters teeth.

    Five: Place a triangular piece of sliced strawberry into each mouth to form the tongue.

    Six: Secure the edible eyes (or raisins) with a little biscoff spread.

    Seven: Serve immediately or cover and chill in the fridge.

    🍴 Serving suggestions

    Serve the apple monsters at Halloween parties or for healthy after-school snacks.

    📖 Variations

    • Use sliced cheese for the tongue instead of strawberries.
    • Swap the edible eyes for chocolate chips.
    • Press broken bits of pretzels into the top of the apples for monster 'hair'.
    • Swap the Biscoff spread for peanut butter.

    🥡 Storage

    Store: Best eaten fresh as soon as they are made, but they can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

    Freeze: Not suitable for home freezing due to the high moisture content of the fruit.

      These are so gorgeously gory and the kids will love them. That strawberry tongue is perfect too.
