Creepy Crawler Fruit Snack

Course Snack
Cuisine American

Ingredients

  • 2 Sunkist Little Snapper citrus I used Cara Cara oranges
  • 1 Strawberry
  • 2 Raisins for the eyes

Instructions

  1. Slice one citrus fruit in half crosswise and lay each half flesh-side down on a serving platter/board, to create the “body” of the crawler.
  2. Slice remaining citrus fruit into cartwheel halves* and position 6 halves, rounded peel-edge up, around the “body” of the crawler to form “legs.”
  3. Slice off the stem end of the strawberry; then halve lengthwise to produce a “head.”
  4. Position each “head” against the body of the crawler, flesh side down; secure with a toothpick, if desired.
  5. Attach raisin eyes with toothpicks.
  6. Reserve unused fruit for additional snacking

Recipe Notes

* Turn the unpeeled fruit on its side and cut a thin slice from both ends; discard ends. Then slice the fruit crosswise into approximate 3/8” wheels. Slice wheels into halves.
