Ants Hiding in a Log from the Anteater
Serves 2
2 slices of whole grain bread
3 tablespoons cream cheese
24-30 raisins (ants)
Remove crusts from the bread. Spread half the cream cheese on each slice.
Cut each slice into 3 strips (logs). Place 4-5 raisins in a line on each strip. Stack two strips together like a sandwich. Place the third on top to form a triple-decker.
You now have ants hiding in a log from the anteater. Feed them to your little anteaters.
