Happy National Book Lovers Day!

My girls and I love to read and as they get older it has become something that we really enjoy doing together as a relaxing hobby.

Over the past few months we participated in many summer reading programs, visited the libraries near us multiple times a week, and enjoyed hanging out for hours at the bookstore!

To celebrate this special day, I made Bookworms Fruit Snacks for a themed afternoon treat. These green grape stacks are fun to serve for kids parties, movie nights, and school snacks.

Bookworms Fruit Snacks

Makes 4-6 fruit worms

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup large green seedless grapes
• pipe cleaners or wooden skewer
• 2 tbsp white chocolate melted
• mini chocolate chips or black food safe marker

Instructions

• Start by washing your green grapes.
• Decide if you want to use wooden skewers or pipe cleaners .
• Thread grapes onto pipe cleaner (or skewer), poking through the center of each grape.
• Depending on the length of the pipe cleaner you should be able to fit 7-10 grapes on each.
• Once you make 4 or so worms, line up and make sure they are completely dry.
• Melt a small amout of white chocolate until smooth then dot on two white eyes to the first grape on each worm.
• Next, add black pupils inthe center of all white dots using either mini chocolate chips or a food safe black marker.
• Serve this fun snack and enjoy!

You can use either small wooden skewers or green bendy pipe cleaners.

I prefer the pipe cleaners so the worms can be more curved and wiggily and not straight like snakes.

Happy reading (and snacking)!
