Ladybug Bites
24 Crackers

Easy
Directions:
- Combine the peas, minced chives, and minced parsley in a food processor. Season with salt and pepper and process until the mixture is smooth. Place the spread into a bowl and set aside.
- Spread each cracker with a bit of the pea spread.
- To make the ladybug body place a half tomato right on the spread. Or two quarters of the cherry tomato right on the spread to look like open wings.
- Use one half of a olive in place of a lady bug head.
- Use the black food coloring to make little dots on the tomato to look like ladybug dots.
- Use the 1 inch long chives to make two small antennas. Place the chives right inside the olive slightly peaking out.
- Eat immediately. Enjoy!
