Hungry kids will dig right into this tasty lunchtime fare, perfect for beach parties, picnics, and more.

Serves: 2

Ingredients

• 1 croissant
• Sandwich filling*
• 6 baby carrots
• 2 toothpicks

• 1 black olive
• 2 cream cheese balls (1/2-inch)
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 radish

Instructions

1. Slit open the outside edge of a croissant, as shown, and stuff it with sandwich filling.*

2. Tuck six baby carrots into the sides to form legs.

3. Slide two 1/2-inch balls of cream cheese onto toothpicks, top each with a black olive slice, and stick them in place as shown.

4. Snip off the tips of the croissant and slide a red bell pepper claw into each end.

5. Finish the crab by attaching a radish slice smile with a dab of cream cheese.

Tips:

We used crab salad in our sandwich, but chicken or tuna salad, ham and cheese, and PB&J also make delicious fillers.
