How To Prepare Frankenstein Kiwis
Start by washing and drying the kiwis 🥝 thoroughly. Next, cut each kiwi in half with the flesh side down. Then, trim a small portion off one end, and make a 1/4-inch slit from the top down without cutting through. Gently peel the skin upward with a peeler, starting from the bottom, then pat the kiwis dry after peeling to remove excess moisture. For the eyes 👀, use a thin skewer or toothpick to make two chocolate dots on the kiwi’s face then place the candy eyes on top and create a mouth. Add some creative touches, like extra “scuffs” on the sides of the kiwi’s face. Lastly, insert the snapped pretzel halves as ears.
Substitutions and Variations
To add versatility to your Frankenstein Kiwis, consider these variations and substitutions that offer different flavors, textures, and customization options.
Chocolate Options 🍫: Feel free to use your favorite chocolate for the eyes and mouth. For example, you can use white chocolate, dark chocolate, or even colored candy melts to add a different look and taste to your Frankenstein Kiwis. Add Sprinkles: To make your Frankenstein Kiwis even more festive, add Halloween-themed sprinkles to the chocolate for extra flair and color. Gluten-Free Ears: Substitute pretzel sticks with gluten-free pretzels or gluten-free alternatives like small crackers or crispy veggie sticks for a gluten-free version. Personalized Expressions: Get creative with different facial expressions for your Frankenstein Kiwis. You can use the chocolate to make smiling, winking, or surprised faces, thus allowing each one to have its own personality.
