Cucumber crocodiles were huge when I was a kid growing up in Germany and we had them for every birthday party or other kid events. I have brought them to my daughter's school events and people always love them. You can skewer it with other little finger foods as well.

Time 40m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large cucumber
1 ½ cups Cheddar cheese cubes
2 black whole peppercorns
1 slice carrot
1 ½ cups red grapes
toothpicks

Steps:

  • Cut a small slice of cucumber off the bottom so the cucumber is leveled and lays flat. Make a horizontal cut in the front, about 3 inches deep, and cut out a thin slice of cucumber for the mouth.
  • Cut a zigzag pattern into the top and bottom of the mouth using a small, sharp knife to create teeth. Bend a toothpick in half and stick inside the mouth, so it stays open a little bit. Cut out 2 half-circles of Cheddar cheese to make the eyes and push in a peppercorn as the pupil. Let carrot slice peek out of the mouth for the tongue.
  • Skewer 1 Cheddar cube and 1 grape on toothpicks and stick them into the cucumber crocodile.
