Even if you have one of those kids who "won't eat anything," they'll eat this, because they'll be making it!
Especially make sure that the kids arrange the "garden" leaves (salad & baby tomatoes, which could be flowers or seeds, or even ladybugs) on each plate to encourage them to at least try their greens.

Butterfly Cookies
by Jes Mostek
serves: 4
|
|
|
|
| |
|
| Ingredients: |
| |
16 |
|
sandwich cookies (Oreos) |
| |
4 |
|
gummy worms |
| |
4 |
|
pretzel sticks |
| |
48 |
|
candy-coated chocolate pieces (M&Ms) |
| Directions: |
| |
Twist the first sandwich cookie so that the two cookies are separated, and try to keep all of the frosting on one half. Discard the cookie half with no frosting. Repeat for remaining cookies.
Lay each of the four gummy worms out on four separate plates. Arrange four cookies around each of the gummy worms to resemble the wings. Break the pretzel sticks in half and lay the broken pretzel sticks at the head of the gummy worm to resemble antennae. Arrange chocolate pieces to look like spots on the butterfly’s wings.
Note: this recipe works best with sandwich cookies that come with colored frosting.
