Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled and halved lengthwise
- 1/4 cup black olives, pitted and sliced
- 4 string cheese sticks
- 4 slices of deli-style halal beef or turkey breast, cut into thin strips
- 2 large green apples, sliced into thick wedges
- 1/4 cup almond butter or sunflower seed butter
- 1/4 cup puffed rice cereal or sunflower seeds (for teeth)
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup roasted chickpeas (halal-certified)
Instructions
- To make the Spider Eggs, take your halved hard-boiled eggs. Place one olive half in the center of the yolk to be the spider’s body. Slice another olive into thin slivers and place four on each side of the body to look like legs.
- For the Cheese Mummies, take a string cheese stick. Carefully wrap the thin strips of halal beef around the cheese, leaving a small opening near the top. Place two tiny dots of olive or peppercorns in that opening to look like eyes peeking out.
- Create Apple Monsters by taking two apple wedges. Spread a thick layer of almond butter on one side of each wedge. Press the wedges together at one end to form a “mouth.” Stick sunflower seeds or puffed rice into the almond butter to look like jagged teeth.
- Prepare Ghostly Yogurt Bowls by scooping Greek yogurt into small clear cups. Use blueberries to create two eyes and a large oval mouth on the surface of the yogurt.
- For a crunchy side, serve the Roasted Chickpeas in a small bowl. These represent “monster brains” or “crunchy beetles” to keep the theme going.
- Arrange all the completed snacks on a large dark platter to make the colors pop. Serve immediately while fresh and cool.
- Cook Time: under thirty minutes
