Ingredients
- 4 large circle crackers (I used Breton)
- 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
- 6 green grapes
- 1 raspberry
- 7 blueberries
- 1 mandarin orange, peeled
- 1 -2 strawberries
- 4 pretzel sticks
Instructions
- Get out desired number of crackers. Spread each cracker thinly with some peanut butter.
- Cut the grapes into halves or quarters if serving to younger children. Arrange the grapes around the perimeter of the cracker. Place a raspberry in the center.
- On another cracker, arrange blueberries in a circular pattern around the perimeter of the cracker. Place half a grape in the center.
- On another cracker, arrange halved mandarin orange slices in a circular pattern around the perimeter of the cracker. Place a halved grape in the center.
- On another cracker, place sliced strawberries in a circular pattern around the perimeter of the cracker. Place a blueberry in the center.
- If you wish to make a stem, place pretzel sticks at the bottom of each flower cracker. Arrange two green quartered grapes on the "stem" for leaves. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- These fruit designs are just some ideas. Feel free to switch up your flower designs depending on the fruit you have available.
- If serving these crackers to children under the age of 5, quarter the grapes lengthways before arranging on the crackers (or before serving) to minimize risk of choking.
- These flower crackers are best served fresh since the moisture from the fruit can soften the crackers if left to sit for too long.
