Frosty Caterpillar Dessert image

Need a treat that will appeal to kids of all ages? This colorful critter will do the trick! Created by the CW home economists, this caterpillar is made of scoops of sherbet and bright candies, including licorice and marshmallows that serve as antennae. He sits on crushed cookie "dirt", while sweet gummy worms keep him company. You can substitute any flavor of ice cream or sherbet you like to make your own garden creature. Graham cracker crumbs can even replace the cookies to create "sand". How ever you shape him, this bug is sure to summon smiles from all who see him. You'll be grinning, too, because the dessert is so easy to do!
