Monkey Birthday Menu

There’s no shortage of monkey-themed foods to go around with this menu—from monkey bread to a monkey-face cake.

Inside these bags are peanut butter and banana sandwiches with a special surprise—sprinkles! Start with a slice of bread, slather on the peanut butter, add banana slices and top with sprinkles and another piece of bread. For extra fun we cut the sandwiches into circles and used a fork to crimp the edges. Tip: If you’re sealing the edges, a loaf of soft white bread works best.

When stalks of celery are cut thin and left to soak in ice water, they begin to curl and resemble monkey tails. While the celery is soaking, fill the bottom of small glasses with a dollop of peanut butter or ranch dressing. Add the celery to the glasses just before guests arrive, and enjoy a fun twist on the usual veggie platter.

Who can resist this Cute Monkey Cake made with Betty Crocker cake mix, ready-made frosting and chocolate candies? With two cupcakes as ears, it’s both adorable and easy to make. Ready, set, frost!
