Ingredients
Here are the simple ingredients you'll need to make this fun snack.
- Ripe Kiwis
- Small Pretzel Sticks
- Chocolate Chips
- Candy Eyes
See the recipe card for quantities.
Instructions
Cut each kiwi in half lengthwise. Using a small, sharp knife, cut ⅔ of the skin off, leaving 'hair' around the top of the kiwi.
Cut the kiwi skin so the 'hairline' is jagged (you want messy Frankenstein hair!)
Break ½-inch end pieces off of each pretzel stick and press them into the sides of the kiwis.
Using a toothpick or skewer, dab a little of the melted chocolate onto the backs of the candy eyeballs and affix them to the kiwis.
Draw a mouth and scar onto each kiwi with the melted chocolate.
Serve immediately or chill in the fridge till the chocolate has hardened.

These kiwi monsters will keep in the fridge for up to a day in an airtight container. The pretzels become a little soggy, so add those right before serving if possible.
