Ingredients

1large cucumber

1½cupscheddar cheese,cubes

2whole black peppercorns

1carrot slice

1½cupsred grapes

toothpicks

Preparation

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 it 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.
