Monstrous Moon Pies
Makes 16 mini moon pies
“Just then the moon, sailing through the black clouds, appeared behind the jagged crest of
a beetling, pine-clad rock, and by its light I saw around us a ring of wolves, with white teeth
and lolling red tongues, with long, sinewy limbs and shaggy hair.”
The moon pies pictured here are decorated with a vampire motif, but feel free to get
creative. You can take your inspiration from Frankenstein, The Wolfman, or even Jekyll and
Hyde!
