Do you struggle trying to get your kids to eat healthy snacks? Try this fun healthy snack for kids in the shape of the Muppet’s Kermit the Frog. It’s a fun and tasty treat that’s healthy with apples and a peanut butter fluff dip!
I loved the Muppet Show as a kid and I have to say I still enjoy seeing these characters from my childhood. I think it’s great that they are still loved by kids and adults today and it was fun to introduce the Muppets to my daughter when she was younger.
My daughter loved Miss Piggy but who doesn’t love good ole Kermie?! We love snack ideas that kids think are fun but of course as parents we’d like them to have healthy ingredients in them too. Well you can’t go wrong with apples when it comes to a healthy snack and oh so versatile.
This is a great after school snack for the kiddos. We know most schools if not all don’t allow food with nuts in them to come to school so save this fun and healthy snack for the kids for after school!

This is so cute! Thanks for the recipe.
This is adorable. Most of the snacks I see that look like a favorite critter aren’t as healthy and nutritious! I love this and can’t wait to try it!
That’s such a cute idea. Especially if you have picky eaters. I think all kids would be more likely to eat healthier foods if it were made fun like this.
This is really great! So awesome and cute!

I’m usually not much of an apple eater. But, I’ve recently discovered Fuji apples. There delicious.
I really like this. I’m trying to think of ways to do this with all of the muppets. Miss Piggy, Ernie and Bert. I’d like to see more of these!
What a great way to get kids to eat apples. I love this.
This so awesome and classic.
My son would love this! He loves the muppets and Kermit. I always serve them with peanut butter but never added the fluff. Good idea.
Another thing you could make to go with this is the banana dip!
This looks like such a great idea. A lot of fun and also delicious. The kids are going to love it!
This is a cute idea to make looks yummy
Those are so cute! I know they really don’t fit the theme of Halloween, but I bet my granddaughter would love them at her Halloween party this year.

My favorite Muppet was Miss Piggy. I like eating apples with peanut butter. I have never mixed the peanut butter with Fluff. I also like the dark chocolate hazelnut spread that Jif makes, yum! Thank you for sharing this recipe.
