Apple BitesIf you’re looking for a little more bite in your diet, look no further than Apple Bites. In the mortal world an apple a day might keep the doctor away. In Toonstone an apple might make you need a doctor. As apples ripen and then rot in Toonstone, they grow teeth. These “teeth” are thought to be calcium deposits that form hard, often sharp plateaus at the edge of the fruit. As the apples rot they shrivel in a way that gives them spring. When the apple skin is disturbed, such as when someone bites into it, it snaps. This leads to the impression that the apples are biting back. Thus the name, Apple Bites. Bite sized fruit with a bite. You can learn how to make your own Apple Bites, with fresh apples. A recipe for human consumption is available, which uses red apples, peanut butter, and mini marshmallows: Apple Bites recipe. |

Combative FruitcakesCombative fruitcakes are a holiday classic, but certainly not a favorite. It’s always a battle to get these cakes down for they really put up a fight with their dry and abrasive personalities. The only thing worse than consuming a combative fruitcake in enduring their company, which is typically suffered through over the winter holidays.They tend to either take control of the conversation or hide in places such as the pantry, waiting to leap out and wage battle with hungry stomachs. Not all combative fruitcakes are armed. Some rely on martial arts and still others rely on quick wit and a sharp tongue to inflict damage, sometimes leading a loss of appetite in their victims. Combative Fruitcakes made their first appearances as mid level enemies in the Android app, Present Danger. They are also featured in the new Christmas themed Felipe Femur E-book, Feast for the Beast. |

Deviled Spider EggsDeviled eggs in the mortal world are usually a welcome sight at a catered party. Same goes for Toonstone, but the eggs are not quiet the same. While both recipes utilize chicken eggs, those in Toonstone are usually not so fresh. There is special kind of spider in Toonstone that behaves similar to a dung beetle, but instead of rolling dung, it rolls eggs out of coops. Once the spider has its stolen egg in a safe place, it will inject the egg with a venom that curdles the insides. The result is surprisingly much the same as deviling an egg with a tang similar to mayonnaise and mustard. Residents of Toonstone seek these spiders out and collect the eggs they’ve stolen. Protective of “their” eggs the spiders tend to latch on. The monsters of Toonstone will still eat them. In fact many residents, such as Felipe Femur the skeleton, prefer their deviled spiders eggs with the spider still on them. You can learn how to make your own Deviled Spider Eggs, without the gross spiders. A recipe for human consumption is available, which uses black olives and fresh eggs: Deviled Spider Eggs recipe. |

Flea TeaMany historians who study Toonstone like to make the bogus claim that werewolves, as a species, have contributed very little or not at all to the culture of the underworld. Flea Tea is perhaps the best counter argument to this flawed assertion. Flea Tea is the most common drink in Toonstone and is rarely disliked by anyone. You’d be hard pressed to find a modern tea gathering without a kettle of Flea Tea brewing. Mixed into the tea, the fleas drink their fill and expand into juicy balls of flavor. Ancient werewolves are thought to have brewed the lively tea when they first started traveling in packs as a show of good intentions and generosity. Beyond tea, werewolves are the first to develop the Howl-a-Billy genre of music, but that’s another story. You can learn how to make your own version of Flea Tea that is appropriate for human consumption. Rather than using fleas, chia seeds are substituted in, but you don’t have to tell your guests that. |

Decorative tombstones are often used as are glass cups for it’s easier to see the worm tunnels that way—the source of all the flavor. You can learn how to make your own Grave Goblets, without the dirt and living worms. A recipe for human consumption is available, which uses pudding, oreos, and gummy worms: Grave Goblet recipe. |

Monster CookiesMonster Cookies are sure to please guest and ghoul alike. Recipes vary, but most are whipped up with slime, eye of newt, and grave dirt flour. The colors come naturally from the ingredients.The no-bake version of these monster cookies tended to run off in search of warmth, so many residents of Toonstone opt for the baked version of these monstrously good snacks instead. Some prefer one monstrously large cookie to a batch of smaller ones, but this is difficult to cook correctly and often requires a trained chef or baker. You can learn how to make your own Monster Cookies, without the slime and grave dirt flour.

Pumpkin Patch Batch of SconesEven rotten, decaying, shriveled up pumpkins have a use in Toonstone. While also a scone, these pumpkin patch scones are entirely different than Tomb-scones. These are naturally occurring in most pumpkin patches and simply need to be baked for a few minutes before being served. In Toonstone, pumpkin beetles climb up on ripe pumpkins and inject an enzyme into the center, disolving the seeds and pulp. The beetles then suck the insides back up. Over time the pumpkins shrink as the beetles grow. Eventually the once plump pumpkins are shriveled, at which point they can be harvested. The pumpkin beetles are often left on as they provide a nice crunch and extra splash of pumpkin flavor. You can learn how to make your own Pumpkin Patch Batch of Scones, without the shriveled pumpkin and pumpkin beetles. A recipe for human consumption is available, which uses all purpose flour, pumpkin spice, cream, and sugar: Pumpkin Patch Batch of Scones recipe.
