Peanut butter caterpillars

These are fun little snacks that any child can make. Let them create a playground of caterpillars by smashing up some chocolate cookies for dirt and coloring some coconut green for the grass. Add an apple to center for the caterpillars to play around.

Ingredients

28 crackers (peanut butter crackers, miniature round crackers)
2 T peanut butter (creamy)
8 chocolate (miniature chocolate chips, semi sweet)
8 candy (black licorice, 1 inch long pieces)
32 candy (candy coated baking chips, miniature size)
  coloring (red decorating gel)

Instructions

Spread one side of 24 crackers with a little peanut butter.

Stack 6 crackers together peanut butter sides up so that the peanut butter holds the crackers together.

Place the cracker that has no peanut butter on it on the very top.

Lay the stacks of crackers on their sides and carefully twist them to form a caterpillar.

Use a little peanut butter to attach 2 chocolate chips to each top cracker to make eyes.

Stick 2 pieces of the licorice behind the first cracker into the peanut butter to make antennae.

Attach the candy baking bits with peanut butter to make legs.

Use the red decorating gel to form a mouth.
