HOW TO MAKE VAMPIRE APPLE TEETH SNACKS
Vampire/ Dracula teeth apples are super easy to prepare. First you need to make peanut butter dip/spread, cut up tart, firm apples, soak them in lemon water and then assemble vampire lips using marshmallows for the teeth. It all takes 10 minutes tops.
INGREDIENTS
Here are the ingredients for peanut butter dip/spread:
- Peanut Butter (you can substitute almond butter)
- Cream Cheese
- Brown Sugar
- Vanilla Extract
And these are the ingredients for Dracula Apple Teeth:
- Peanut Butter Dip/Spread
- Water
- Lemon
- Apples
- Mini Marshmallows
- Raspberry/Strawberry Jam
PREPARE PEANUT BUTTER SPREAD
Mix peanut butter, cream cheese, brown sugar, and vanilla until fluffy, about 5 minutes.
PREPARE APPLES
Wash firm, tart apples and slice them into about ½ inch slices. Soak slices in lemon water for 5 minutes. Then drain apple slices on a paper towel. Pat dry apple slices before assembling apple teeth (steps 1-5).
ASSEMPLE VAMPIRE APPLE TEETH
To assemble apple teeth, spread peanut butter dip on all the apple slices. Push a row of mini marshmallows into the peanut, on half of the slices. If you want a bloody tooth, dip one marshmallow in the red-colored jam before you arrange it onto an apple slice (steps 3-4). Lastly, sandwich slices together (steps 7-8).
