Monster Biscuits – A Fun Food Activity for Kids

Looking for a simple, silly, and slightly spooky activity to do with your little ones? These Monster Biscuits are perfect for a rainy afternoon, a playdate, or even a Halloween treat.

They’re bright, funny, and oh-so easy to make, plus, kids love getting creative with their “monster faces”!

You’ll need:

• 200g white chocolate

• 12 long biscuits (like Biscoff or any finger-shaped biscuit)

• Food colouring (we used blue, but go wild!)

• Icing eyes or Smarties, jelly tots for eyes

• A baking tray lined with baking paper

How to make them:

1. Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or over a pan of simmering water.
   Tip: Add a small splash of milk while melting, it helps make the white chocolate smoother and easier to dip!

2. Add a few drops of food colouring to the melted chocolate and stir until you get your desired monster shade.

3. Dip half of each biscuit into the coloured chocolate, letting any extra drip off.

4. Lay them on the baking paper and quickly add icing eyes (or Smarties!) before the chocolate sets.

5. Let them dry for at room temperature, or pop them in the fridge to speed things up.

Tips for extra fun:

• Try using different colours and numbers of eyes to make each monster unique!

• Add a drizzle of a second colour or some sprinkles for “monster hair.”

• Let the kids name their monsters before eating them!

Why we love this activity:

It’s messy in all the right ways, encouraging creativity, fine motor skills, and a big dose of giggles. And at the end, you’ve got a tray of delicious, colourful little monsters to share.
