Green Grape Caterpillars Recipe 445

Steps:

• Thread the grapes onto each toothpick until there's no toothpick sticking out. Apply a dab of cream cheese as "glue". Stick on 1 mini chocolate for each eye of the caterpillar.

Steps:

• 1. Rinse your grapes then slide them onto your skewer until it is filled up with grapes.
• 2. With your frosting, place two small dots in place of the eyes and then stick a mini chocolate chip in the middle of the frosting.
• 3. FUN AND DELICIOUS! ENJOY!

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk confectioners' sugar, milk and extract until smooth; set aside. , Cut apple in half lengthwise; place one half on a serving platter. Cut remaining half into slices. Cut eyes from one slice. , Using peanut butter, attach apple pieces for eyes and a cashew half for a mouth. If desired, attach thyme sprigs for antennae. Arrange apple slices and remaining fruit in a wavy pattern to form caterpillar body. Place cashews under caterpillar for legs; spoon glaze over fruit.

Steps:

• Wash and dry your grapes thoroughly. They must be completely dry so the eyes adhere. Assemble 3 grapes onto 1 green toothpick. Cut one piece of licorice into 1 inch sections. Then cut the 1 inch sections into 4 pieces. I used a very sharp knife to do this. These will be our antennas on the caterpillar. Use a toothpick to puncture two holes in the top of the grape. This is where we will insert our licorice/antennas. Next squeeze two small dollops of the writing gel just below the antenna. Lightly press a Chocolate Chip on each dollop. These will become the creepy bulging Caterpillar eyes. Here is the tricky part, because the Grape skin is slippery, the Chocolate Chip is going to want to slide off before the gel dries, so here is how you keep it in place. Use several shot glasses or small liqueur glasses to stand your Caterpillars up straight until the gel dries. Don't be too quick to move them. It may take up to an hour for the Gel to dry completely. So the waiting is the hardest part, but once the Gel has set, you have adorable yet Creepy Caterpillars for your Halloween Buffet! Recipe by: Hot Dish Homemaker
