Give me a hand (dip)

Your little monsters will love getting their hands on these crunchy carrot snacks.


Ingredients
• vegetable dip
 • 4 long carrots
     • 1 medium carrot
 • cream cheese
  • sliced-almond
• baby carrots

Instructions
1. To prepare them, just fill a serving bowl with your favorite vegetable dip. Wash and peel 4 long carrots for fingers and 1 medium carrot for a thumb.
2. With a paring knife (a parent's job), cut a flat, shallow notch in the tip of each carrot. Then use a dab of dip or softened cream cheese to glue a sliced-almond fingernail atop each notch.
3. Stick the fingers in the dip, as shown, and serve with plenty of peeled baby carrots for dipping.
