Why serve a run-of-the-mill muffin when you can dress it up as a goofy, spooky – and scrumptious – fiend? Whether you serve it as a Halloween breakfast or a special anytime snack, the Muffin-Top Monster, from Adrian Fiorino’s Insanewiches: 101 Ways to Think Outside the Lunchbox
(St. Martin’s Griffin, 2011), is a welcome surprise. For kicks, try using other cereal and candy for decoration.
Ingredients:
2 large store-bought muffins, any flavor
2 tablespoons almond butter
6 green jelly beans
1 red jujube
Small tube green frosting
2 green Froot Loops®
8 strands fiber cereal (like Kellogg’s® All-Bran®)
Instruments:
Bread knife, spoon, toothpick
Directions:
1. Cut the tops off 2 muffins using the bread knife.
2. Flip 1 muffin top over so the rounded side is facing down.
3. Spread with almond butter using spoon.
4. Line jelly beans along the front edge of the flipped muffin top.
5. Place the second muffin top on top of the jelly beans so the rounded part is facing up.
6. Above each eye, place four fiber cereal strands as the eyebrows.
7. Poke a toothpick into the jujube.
8. Stick the jujube into the upper muffin top as the nose.
9. Dab frosting onto each Froot Loop so they will adhere, and place them onto the upper muffin top as eyes.
Serves 2
