Halloween Food Ideas That Actually Work For Parties - Foxes Love Lemons — PHOTO · FOXESLOVELEMONS.COM

Ingredients

2 Granny Smith apples (quartered)
1/4 cup peanut butter ((natural peanut butter is too runny, so use traditional JIF or Skippy))
40 pine nuts
1 ounce cheddar cheese or 1/4 mango (cut into small triangles)
8 - 16 medium candy eyeballs

Directions

Using a sharp paring knife, cut a "mouth" out of each apple quarter. Fill gaps with peanut butter. Press pine nuts and cheese or mango pieces into peanut butter to resemble teeth and tongues. Using small dabs of peanut butter, "glue" one or two candy eyeballs onto each apple above mouth.
Arrange on large platter, along with Mummy Jalapeno Poppers, Halloween Mini Pizzas and Halloween Deviled Eggs.
