Kermit’s Green Apples with Peanut Butter Dip

• 1
  Slice a green apple in half, from the stem to the end.

• 2 Place half of the apple on your plate and reserve the other half.
• 3
  Trim two diagonal slices from the tapered end of the apple, making one end of the apple narrower.

• 4
  Use a sharp knife to carve a half moon-shaped smile into the center of the apple.

• 5
  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.

• 6 You will need to press the red apple slice into the opening in the green apple. Trim the skin until it fits snugly.
• 7 Cut a marshmallow into 4 quarters. You will use two of the half circles for Kermit’s eyes.
• 8 Use the black edible marker to draw on pupils.
• 9 Press Kermit’s eyes onto the apple. The sticky marshmallow acts like glue, holding the eyes in place.
• 10
  Take your reserved green apple and trim a few triangle shapes. Place these around Kermit’s neck, as his ruffle.

• 11 Mix the peanut butter and marshmallow fluff in a small bowl.
• 12 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.
