Ingredients
Directions
- Cut the celery into small sticks and spread peanut butter along the base of each piece.
- For a butterfly, arrange strawberry slices as wings and place a green grape in the center for the body.
- Add antennae made from sliced almonds, candy eyes, and tiny dots of black food coloring gel for pupils.
- Alternatively, make a butterfly using strawberry slices and blueberries.
- For the next bug, use a passionfruit as the body.
- Add a blackberry for the head, almond slices for wings, and two almond antennae.
- To create a peanut butter snail, place a slice of passionfruit on the peanut butter base.
- Use a green grape for the snail's head, then add antennae and candy eyes.
- For a caterpillar, use a cherry as the head and green grapes for the body segments, then add eyes and antennae.
- You can also make the caterpillar using blueberries instead of grapes.
- For the cucumber snail, cut a cucumber into a rectangle, spread mayonnaise on it, roll a cucumber slice into a shell, and place it on the mayo base. Add a cherry for the head.
- Finish the mayo snail with antennae and candy eyes. Arrange all veggie bugs on a plate and serve.
