Sometimes getting your child to eat a healthy treat can be tricky! This simple, tasty treat is simple to make and will get your little one excited about eating healthy! This protein packed, fruit snack is sure to win over even the pickiest eaters.
Directions:
Before beginning have an adult cut out a large slice out of the apple with a sharp kitchen knife.
Step 1: Spread peanut butter in the open mouth of the apple. You can use a butter knife or other kid safe knife here. Another great option is a clean craft stick!
Step 2: Add the teeth to the monster, in this version I used cashews, but really any small food can be used. Other suggestions are raisins or mini marshmallows.
Step 3: Skewer fruit and insert in the top of the apple as eyes for the monster, this can be done with a variety of fruits or vegetables
Step 4: Eat the monster!!
