With Sherry's guidance, Kendra Paige-Wrischnik, now 11, transformed banana and pear slices into this creepy crawler. "The girls' brother, Joey, was too young to help prepare the salads, but he sure enjoyed eating them," Sherry adds.

These caterpillars are the perfect healthy snack. They're filling and satisfying, but they're not too heavy.

I'm allergic to chocolate, so I used carob chips instead. They worked great!

I added some chopped walnuts to the chocolate chips for a little extra crunch. It was delicious!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my caterpillars didn't turn out as cute as the ones in the picture. Oh well, they still tasted good!

I thought this recipe was just okay. The bananas and pears were a little too mushy for my taste.
