- Mini Marshmallows (enough to cut and place around strawberries)

Other Ingredients
- Nutella (for assembling and decorating)

Instructions
- Prepare the Base: Place the green apple on a plate as the base of your Grinch snack.
- Assemble the Hat: Cut the ends off of your strawberries and stack 6-8 of them on top of the apple in the shape of Santa’s hat, securing them with several toothpicks.
- Add Marshmallow Trim: Cut mini marshmallows in half and attach them around the bottom edge of the strawberry hat using small amounts of Nutella as glue.
- Create the Eyes: Cut out eye shapes from a yellow fruit roll up and add pupils made from small pieces of strawberry or red fruit roll up, placing them onto the apple’s face area.
- Decorate the Face: Place a small amount of Nutella into a plastic baggie, snip off a corner, and use it to draw features on the face to complete your Grinch look.
Notes
- This snack is best served fresh to maintain the crispness of the apple and strawberries.
- If you prefer, substitute Nutella with any chocolate spread or peanut butter for allergy considerations.
- Use fresh mini marshmallows for optimal appearance and texture.
- Exercise caution when using toothpicks around children.
