Crabby Croissants ~ Delicious & Fun For Kids Of All Ages!

This special breakfast (or snack) tastes
delicious and makes everyone smile!

Ingredients For Each Crab:

1 croissant 

Nutella (optional)

2 banana slices

2 blueberries

2 1/2 strawberries

graham cracker crumbs (optional)

Swedish, Gummy or Cracker Fish

2 toothpicks

Method:

Preheat oven to 350*.

Cut a small slit in the croissant for where the tongue will go. Cut a larger slit on the opposite side (where the Nutella will go). Bake for 5 minutes.**

Rinse the blueberries and set aside on a paper towel to dry.

Wash and remove the stems of the strawberries. Cut in half and cut out little triangles out of 4 halves to make the claws. Set aside.

If desired, sprinkle graham cracker crumbs (for sand) on a serving plate. If desired, through the larger slit, add Nutella to the the inside of the croissant. Place on top of the graham crumbs.

To make a tongue, with the point facing out, insert a strawberry half into the smaller slit.

Place 4 claw halves next to the croissant crab body.

Assemble the each eye by using a toothpick to attach a blueberry and banana slice on top of the croissant.

If desired, add a candy or a few cracker fish to the plate.

Serve & Enjoy!

**I always heat my croissants, because I like them crisped and I think it enhances their flavor. You can skip this step if you prefer croissants chilled or at room temperature.

Note: On the 4th of July, I served these fun "Crabby Croissants" to my kids and grandkids for breakfast. They loved the the playfulness and the taste!
