  1. Use a sharp knife to carve a half moon-shaped smile into the center of the apple.

  1. 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.

  2. You will need to press the red apple slice into the opening in the green apple. Trim the skin until it fits snugly.

  3. Cut a marshmallow into 4 quarters. You will use two of the half circles for Kermit’s eyes.

  4. Use the black edible marker to draw on pupils.

  5. Press Kermit’s eyes onto the apple. The sticky marshmallow acts like glue, holding the eyes in place.

  1. Take your reserved green apple and trim a few triangle shapes. Place these around Kermit’s neck, as his ruffle.

  2. Mix the peanut butter and marshmallow fluff in a small bowl.

  3. 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.
