Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Babybel cheese (approximately 2 bags)
- Variety of googly eyes (plastic or candy eyes for edible option)
- Optional: sticky tack or museum wax to secure eyes
Instructions
- Remove plastic wrap: Carefully peel off the outer plastic wrap from each Babybel cheese to expose the red wax-coated cheese.
- Create teeth: Place each cheese on a cutting board and peel away the strip of wax around the center. Using a small, sharp knife, carefully cut various jagged or tooth-like shapes along the wax strip to form monster ‘teeth.’
- Add eyes: Attach one or more googly eyes to each cheese piece. If desired, use sticky tack or museum wax to hold the eyes securely. For edible options, substitute plastic googly eyes with candy eyes.
- Serve: Arrange the completed Cheese Monsters on a platter and serve immediately for best freshness and presentation.
Notes
- Use candy eyes if you want the entire snack to be edible and kid-friendly.
- If you don’t have sticky tack or museum wax, simply place the eyes gently on top; they may fall off during handling.
- Be sure to use a small, sharp knife to carefully sculpt the wax strip to avoid cutting into the cheese.
- These snacks are best enjoyed fresh as Babybel cheese can dry out once exposed.
- Perfect for Halloween parties, kids’ lunches, or themed events.
