    I love this because you can make it gluten free by using a corn tortilla instead of a flour tortilla. Change it up and use almond butter or sun butter instead of peanut butter or give that crab some gold fish crackers to pinch. The creative possibilities are endless.

    Total Time 5 mins
    Course Snack
    Servings 1 snack

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 Tortilla, small flour or corn
    • Peanut Butter
    • Jelly your choice
    • 2 Mini Marshmallows
    • 2 Mini Chocolate Chips

    • pretzel sticks

    Instructions
     

    • Spread a thin layer of peanut butter onto one side of your tortilla. Spread evenly with a thin layer of jelly and fold over the tortilla so it forms a half circle.
    • Break pretzel sticks in half and push them in the back to form legs.
    • Gently dip mini marshmallows into a little bit of peanut butter and stick them onto the tortilla for eyes. Add a mini chocolate chip to the center of each to finish the eye.
    • Wash and cut 4 medium/large strawberries in half. Place ½ of a berry on the left and the right for the crabs arms. Now cut 2 of your halves in half again to form the claws. Place them at the end of the "arms". 
    • Cut and add another small sliver of strawberry for the mouth (optional).
    • Decorate with blueberries for "bubbles", goldfish crackers, and more. Get as creative as you want!
