Notes

✨ Get the kids involved by letting them build their own monsters.
Give each person some guacamole and a plate of toppings like olive slices for eyes, cherry tomato halves for mouths, and strips of bell pepper for hats.
By arranging these on a platter, they look really cool and inviting.
To get a spooky effect, use a dark serving dish.
Place a few scary spider rings or plastic critters around the edges for a festive Halloween touch 🎃.
Use tortilla chips shaped like bats or pumpkins to take it up a notch.

Storage Tips
I’m so excited to share how to keep those Guacamole Monsters fresh and tasty! 🥑
First, store the guacamole in an airtight container. This helps prevent air from browning the guac.
I often use plastic wrap directly on the surface before sealing the lid.
Keep it cold. Place the container in the fridge if you’re not eating it right away. It stays fresh for up to two days. ⏲️
Add a little lime juice on top to help keep the color bright.
Leave any add-ons like chips or veggies out of the storage container.
I always store them separately, so they don’t get soggy.
Pro tip: add a sprinkle of lime juice to sliced avocado before storing it.
If there’s extra monster filling, keep it in a separate container.
It’s perfect for a quick snack later!
Remember to cover it tightly with plastic wrap to keep it fresh and tasty. 🌟
These tips help make sure my Guacamole Monsters stay as delicious as when I first made them!
