I have a little thing about vampires. I was about to write “I’m embarrassed to say” but I’m not. What the heck. I’m obsessed. I said it. Seriously, I am. It all started with the Twilight books and has gone a little out of control since. =o) If you need to know a good book series to read – I’m your gal. Maybe I should narrow that down a little – a good, vampire book series =o)
So I thought these snacks were totally cute. And my kids giggled when they saw them. They know I love vampire books. When they see a picture of a vampire in a magazine or on TV they say “hey Mom, look, a vampire!” Of course then they giggle. I should be embarrassed by that shouldn’t I? Hmm. I’m not. So they loved these snacks too.
They are super simple to make. I used my crinkle cut cutter to cut the apples.
Then I smeared peanut butter on both sides and put a little dab to hold on the raisins for the eyes. The fangs are just little pieces of apple. I could have used slivered almonds but my kids don’t eat slivered almonds. I would much rather not go buy something my kids wouldn’t eat and use what I have. Right?
A healthy treat the kids will love. (And Mom loves them too!)

And, of course, come check out the great linky parties on my sidebar!
Darling idea! I make apple smiles for my grandkids – made them for their parents when they were growing up, and use marshmallows for teeth, but you added a special touch and it’s so darn cute! Love all you do here…keep up the great creative work!
I absolutely loved reading the Twilight series. I read all books too. There is something so intriguing about books like that to me. Have you read the Vampire Chronicles by Ann Rice? I cannot remember how many books there are in the series but they are really good. I read them years ago.
Love your vampire snack. I love the combo of PB and apples and it looks so darn cute:)
I love the Twilight series as well. Monkey, my youngest, will be a vampire this halloween because he bites us all the time.
Great way to “play with food”…

That is so cute and not at all complicated (I could actually do this)! Nothing wrong with loving vampires. I used to have a thing for them too back when Dracula and Interview with a Vampire were big. Thanks for swinging by and leaving me a comment!
