Hot Dog Snails in the Garden with Butterfly Cookies by Jes Mostek	No ratings Rating Details Rate this meal Printable View

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.

In addition to the recipes, you will also need the following for this meal:

1 carton

cherry or grape tomatoes

1/2 (10 oz.) bag

salad

Butterfly Cookies by Jes Mostek serves: 4	No ratings Rating Details Rate this recipe Printable View Print Index Cards

Ingredients:

sandwich cookies (Oreos)

gummy worms

pretzel sticks

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.

Serving size is 2 snails per person.

Ingredients:

1 (16 oz.) pkg.

hot dogs

1 (8 ct.) can

refrigerated crescent rolls

pretzel sticks

ketchup

mustard

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line cookie sheet with aluminum foil.

Lay 1 hot dog at the wide end of 1 triangle of refrigerated crescent roll dough. Roll up and position on baking sheet so that the tip of the triangle is on the bottom. Repeat for remaining hot dogs and triangles of dough.

Bake for 10-15 minutes (until dough is cooked through and hot dog is heated).

With a sharp knife, poke 2 shallow holes in one end of the hot dog and position 2 pretzel sticks so they resemble the antennae of a snail.
