    Recipe Introduction


    Your kids will fly right home for these tasty after school nutritious snacks that look like colorful butterflies. Add a few raisins on each "apple wing" and they transform into butterflies with spotted wings.

    List of Ingredients




    Apple Butterflies



    1/2 cup peanut butter*
    4 fresh baby carrots
    1 large red apple
    8 (2-inch-long) thin strips celery
    Colored decorator sugar, if desired

    Recipe



    1. Spoon 2 tablespoons peanut butter onto center of each of 4 individual plates. Shape peanut butter on each plate into a mound about 2 inches long and 1 inch wide. Place 1 carrot down center of each mound of peanut butter.

    2. Cut apple into quarters; remove core. Cut each quarter into 7 thin slices; cut 1 slice in half crosswise. Fan 3 apple slices on each side near top of each carrot to form upper wings. Place 1 half-slice on each side near bottom of each carrot to form lower wings.

    3. Place 2 strips of celery at top of each carrot to form antennae. Sprinkle apple slices with decorator sugar.
