Wormy Apple - A Creative, Healthy, & Fun Afternoon Snack for Kids
This creative and unique apple snack is silly and fun. Kids will love the gummi worm and gobble down the healthy apple with peanut butter. It's a new take on an old favorite.
Equipment
- Sharp knife
- Thick straw
- Spoon
Ingredients
- 1 apple
- 1 marshmallow
- 1 gummi worm
- 1 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 spearmint leaf
Instructions
- Wash and core the apple. If you want to, you can leave a small bit of the core at the top and bottom of the apple, and that will make the finished apple look more authentic. If I was making this snack for a younger child, I would totally cut out the core, top and bottom.
- Cut the cored apple in half.
- Cut a large marshmallow in half across the long side. Stuff one half into each cored apple (to keep the peanut butter from coming out the top and bottom).
- Use a stiff, heavy duty straw to cut a small hole in the apple.
- Poke the worm through the hole. I struggled with this gummi worm for a good three or four minutes before realizing that it had a head and a tail. I have never before seen a gummi worm with a head and a tail, but I suppose I'm not all that up on candy culture these days. It goes into the hole much more easily if you put the tail end in first.
- Use a scoop or a spoon to fill up the remaining holes with peanut butter.
- Stick the two halves of the apple together and serve!
