Apple and Nutella Frogs

I think children of all ages will LOVE these frogs!  And they are a quick and healthy lunch or snack.

First off you can't go wrong with Nutella.  I prefer the crunchy and have a secret.......Kroger brand taste exactly the same to me.  No one will know if you don't tell.

Here is what you will need.........
Granny Smith apples
Nutella or store brand hazelnut spread
(you could also use peanut butter)
green seedless grapes
chocolate chips(or any kind you have on hand)

I only used one apple because I went for the BIG ones! 

Cut the apple into quarters. Remove the core and slice each quarter into 2 so you have 8 slices. 
Note: when making for the boys I only make one frog each.

Place the apple slices on a serving plate and scoop a line of the Nutella on the thick end of the apple wedge.  Top with a second piece of apple and add 2 dollops for the "eyes" onto the top slice.

To finish the "eyes" take a toothpick and thread on a grape and top with a chocolate chip. Push the other end of the toothpick through the apples to secure.

I did not use the toothpicks this time.....it works out fine if eaten quickly.

Ribbit, Ribbit..........isn't he CUTE!!!!  He only stayed cute for a very short time and then his eyes came off.  It is at that point I just have a plate of apples, a bowl of grapes and spoon Nutella on the plate.  Oh and a few chocolate chips!!!

Tips:
-If you use peanut butter instead of the Nutella add 1/2 cup cream cheese and 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar....makes it really good!
-Also it might be a good idea not to wear white pants when making these.

Hope you enjoy the FROGS!!!!
