Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Pear halves (canned in juice, drained)
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 0.5 cups Shredded carrots
- 2 tablespoons Raisins
- 2 pieces Maraschino cherries
- 1 slice Cheddar cheese slices
- 8 pieces Mini pretzel sticks
- 4 pieces Mini marshmallows
Instructions
Place one lettuce leaf on each serving plate to serve as a base.
Lay one pear half, flat side down, on top of each lettuce leaf to create the Raggedy Ann 'face.'
Using shredded carrots, arrange a 'hair' pattern above and around the upper edges of the pear.
Place two raisins on each pear to make the eyes. Position them towards the upper middle of the pear for a playful look.
Add a maraschino cherry for the nose by placing it in the center near the bottom of the pear face.
Using the cheddar cheese slice, cut out a small smile shape and place it below the cherry nose to create the mouth.
Stick four mini pretzel sticks on each side of the pear to mimic Raggedy Ann's arms and legs.
Add some cheeks by placing two mini marshmallows near the corners of the pear face.
Serve immediately as a fun and healthy snack!
