Banana Caterpillars

From: Silly Snacks—Publications International, Ltd.

Ingredients

• 2 medium bananas
• ¼ cup peanut butter
• ¼ cup flaked coconut
• 4 raisins
• Thin pretzel sticks

Directions

• 1. Peel and slice each banana into ten slices. Make caterpillar by spreading slices with peanut butter and pressing pieces together.
• 2. Sprinkle half of coconut over each caterpillar and press lightly with fingertips to coat. Attach raisins to one end with a little bit of peanut butter for eyes. Break pretzel sticks into small pieces and press between banana slices for legs and antennae.

** Makes 2 servings. **

** Kids can be creative and add other types of sliced fruits (strawberries, apples, pears) to their caterpillars. **
