- Melt marshmallows: In a pan over low heat, melt marshmallows and coconut oil, stirring until smooth.
- Add cereal: Remove from heat and mix in rice cereal and green coloring until evenly coated.
- Form into shapes: Press the mixture into a greased pan and let it cool. Once set, cut into monster shapes and decorate with eyes.
- Slice the apples: Cut apples into wedges and remove the core.
- Spread almond butter: Spread almond butter on one side of each apple slice.
- Decorate: Use dark chocolate chips or raisins to create spooky faces on each apple wedge.
