My little girl turned 3 recently and we had her first friend birthday party.  (It was SO fun!)  I wanted to serve the kids something at least somewhat healthy while they were here and yet a birthday party isn’t a birthday party if the treats aren’t fun and yummy for the kids, right?  So here is what I came up with:

Ants and Butterflies on Logs (see above image)

3-in segments of celery with peanut butter spread inside.  Top with raisins and pretzels so that they look like ants and butterflies.

24 Chocolate Zucchini Cake cupcakes made into a butterfly

I had to double the recipe to get enough cupcakes.  The frosting is NOT healthy by the way.  They actually taste better without the frosting and I scraped mine off, BUT I couldn’t resist making a cute colorful butterfly.  If anyone has any ideas for doing so in a healthy way, please pass them on!

I got the idea for the butterfly formation on That Sweet Ang

A total success!
