Kermit the Frog Apple Snacks
Snack time just got a whole lot greener, and a whole lot more fun! Apples, peanut butter, and marshmallow all team to make a for picky eaters
What You’ll Need
- FOR KERMIT:
- 1 green apple
- 1 red apple
- 1 marshmallow
- Black edible marker
- Sharp paring knife
- FOR PEANUT BUTTER DIP:
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup marshmallow fluff
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
How To Make It
- Slice a green apple in half, from the stem to the end.
- Place half of the apple on your plate and reserve the other half.
- Trim two diagonal slices from the tapered end of the apple, making one end of the apple narrower.
- Use a sharp knife to carve a half moon-shaped smile into the center of the apple.
- Trim a slice of red apple into a matching half moon shape. Cut away most of the white of the red apple slice so that the skin is easy to bend.
- You will need to press the red apple slice into the opening in the green apple. Trim the skin until it fits snugly.
- Cut a marshmallow into 4 quarters. You will use two of the half circles for Kermit’s eyes.
- Use the black edible marker to draw on pupils.
- Press Kermit’s eyes onto the apple. The sticky marshmallow acts like glue, holding the eyes in place.
- Take your reserved green apple and trim a few triangle shapes. Place these around Kermit’s neck, as his ruffle.
- Mix the peanut butter and marshmallow fluff in a small bowl.
- Add 2 teaspoons of lemon juice. The lemon juice will help loosen up the peanut butter and marshmallow, giving it a creamy consistency. It will also balance the sweetness of the marshmallow. Serve with sliced apples.
