Unveiling the Bagel of Doom: A Ghoulish Twist on the PB&J

Halloween is the perfect time to reimagine your culinary classics. Why settle for the same old peanut butter and jelly when you can turn it into a mischievous creation? The Bagel of Doom is sure to enchant your little goblins with its spooky plastic fangs and candy eyes, making it more fun than frightening!

Ingredients You’ll Need:

  • Sliced bagels (your favorite flavor)
  • Plastic fangs (for that spooky touch)
  • Peanut butter or alternative spread
  • Jelly (or get creative with other fillings)
  • Candy eyes (find them at most craft stores)

Crafting the Bagel of Doom: Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Begin with the Bagel Surgery: Start by slicing your bagel in half and cut a small rectangular hole at the top of the bagel. This will create the perfect slot for your plastic fangs to rest. Now, your bagel is ready for its spooky transformation!
  2. Spread the Fun: Slather peanut butter on one half of the bagel and jelly on the other. Don’t be afraid to switch it up—maybe try Nutella or cream cheese for a different twist!
  3. Add the Candy Eyes: Dab a little peanut butter on the back of two candy eyes and stick them onto the bagel. Suddenly, your Bagel of Doom has a pair of mischievous eyes that are sure to bring some spooky giggles.
  4. Insert the Fangs: Fit the plastic fangs into the slot you created earlier, giving the bagel a playful (and slightly scary) bite.
