    An apple a day keeps the monsters away. These munchy apple monsters are fun to make with the kids (and an easy way to get them eating more fruit!).

    The Recipe:

    Ingredients:

    • 2 green apples, each quartered
    • peanut butter
    • 32 sunflower seeds
    • 3 strawberries, sliced
    • 1-2 sugar eyes per monster

    Method:

    1. Cut the middles out of each quarter of the apple to create a mouth.
    2. Coat the inside of the cut gap with a filling of peanut butter.
    3. Stick 4 sunflower seeds into the top of the mouth like jagged little teeth.
    4. Add 1 sliced strawberry inside the mouth – it’s the tongue.
    5. Add a dot of peanut butter to each eye and stick onto the apple above the mouth.

    These banana pops are a great alternative to sugar-filled ice creams and lollipops. If you want to go totally refined sugar-free, but keep things delicious, use Greek yoghurt instead of white chocolate.

    3 Halloween Snacks For The Kids

    Ingredients

    • 1 medium banana
    • 100g good quality white chocolate
    • 8 mini chocolate chips for eyes
    • 4 ice lolly sticks

    Instructions:

    1. Cut banana in half lengthwise, then in half to make four quarters.
    2. Push the ice lolly stick into the less pointy end of the banana, and freeze bananas on a grease proof paper.
    3. After 24 hours, your bananas will be frozen. You can then chop your chocolate up add it to a bowl and melt it by adding it to the microwave 30 seconds at a time, stirring until the chocolate is melted and soft.
    4. Dip the bananas into the chocolate, scraping off the excess chocolate from the back of the banana, and place it on a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper. Add the chocolate chips for the eyes before while the chocolate is still wet.
    5. Freeze again for about 2 hours. Eat!
