Bone Apple Teeth!
To craft these creepy smiles, start by cutting up some red and green apple wedges. To keep them from browning, dip them into a lemon water mixture. The acidity helps to keep them fresh and colorful. Set the apples aside to dry while you get out your peanut butter and mini marshmallows. Coat one side each on two apple wedges with a layer of peanut butter (Image 1). With the apple peels facing out, sandwich a few mini marshmallows in between them to create a monster mouth (Images 2 & 3).
