Ladybug Crackers Recipes

Steps:

• Spread each of 2 crackers with 1 tsp. of the cream cheese spread. Cut remaining crackers in half.
• Insert cut-sides of cracker halves, at a slight angle, into cream cheese spread to form the "ladybugs' wings."
• Place small drops of jelly on wings for the "ladybugs' spots." Add licorice for the "antennae."

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Remove 1 tablespoon to a small dish and tint black. Place the black cream cheese mixture in a small plastic bag; set aside. Add the chives, garlic salt and parsley to the remaining cream cheese mixture. Spread over crackers. Arrange two tomato quarters on each for the ladybug wings. For heads, halve the olives widthwise; place one half on each cracker. Insert two chives into olives for antennae. Spin a tiny corner off the plastic bag with the black cream cheese mixture and pipe spots onto the wings.

Steps:

• Cut cheese slices into circles using 1-1/2-inch cookie cutter. Cut each circle in half; set aside. Reserve scraps for other use.
• Top each cracker with 1 pepperoni slice and 2 cheese pieces to resemble a ladybug and her wings.
• Add 2 tomato slices and an olive piece to each for the ladybug's spots and head.

Steps:

• Spread cream cheese onto crackers. Make an incision in the cherry tomato halves, but don't cut all the way through, to form wings. Place tomato wings on each cracker and an olive as the head. Trim olives so they point upwards if necessary. Stick 2 chives into each olive as antennae.

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
• Add sour cream, chives, parsley and garlic salt; mix well.
• Place 1 tablespoon in a small plastic bag and tint black; set aside.
• Spread remaining cream cheese mixture on crackers.
• Arrange two tomato quarters on each for the ladybug wings.
• For heads, halve the olives widthwise; place one half on each cracker.
• Insert two chives into olives for antennae.
• Use tinted cream cheese mixture to pipe spots onto wings.
