ROD 6/19/2006 Monarch Butterfly Day OREO

Recipe Introduction


mNo other butterflies migrate like the monarchs of North America. They can travel up to 2,000 miles as they fly to Mexico or California for the winter. Those hatched in the fall live 8-9 months to make this long trip both ways. As caterpillars, they only eat plants in the milkweed family, but the adult monarchs drink nectar from many different kinds of flowers. Nectar contains sugar, which serves as their main energy source. Plant some flowers at your house, and they might show up.



List of Ingredients




ROD 6/19/2006 Monarch Butterfly Day OREO® Butterfly



OREO® Butterfly


2 OREO Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
2 Tbsp. ready-to-spread vanilla frosting, tinted yellow
3 small green gumdrops, divided
1 piece black shoestring licorice
2 LIFE SAVERS GUMMIES, halved



Recipe



SPLIT 1 of the cookies in half; cut each piece in half to form 2 "wings." Spread plain sides of wings with yellow frosting. Spread frosting on remaining whole cookie for the base. Insert wings, frosted sides up and rounded edges out, into frosting in base.

TRIM thin slice off wide ends of 2 of the gumdrops; press cut ends together for the "body." Trim thin slice from body with a sharp knife and another thin slice from narrow end of remaining gumdrop for the "head;" press into the body to secure.

CUT licorice into 2 (2-inch) pieces for the "antennae." Make 2 holes in the head with toothpick; insert antennae into holes. Use additional frosting to secure wings to body. Decorate wings with thin gumdrop slices and gummi candies as desired.
