Directions
Cor the apple and slicing it into eight wedges. Take one slice and spread about a tablespoon of peanut butter on one side. Press the fish-shaped crackers into the peanut butter, tail side first, to create little “teeth.” Then, take another apple slice and gently press it on top to form a little mouth. Keep going with the rest of the slices until you’ve made as many as you like. It’s a fun and easy way to make a spooky snack!
