Cheese Stick Mummies Wrapped in Thin Cucumber Ribbons

Prep Time 12 minutes
Total Time 12 minutes
Makes 10 mummies

Ingredients

  • 10 individual string cheese sticks
  • 2 medium cucumbers
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese or mustard for the eyes and to anchor ribbons
  • 20 mini chocolate chips or 20 small black sesame seeds 2 per mummy for eyes

Instructions

  • Run a vegetable peeler along the length of each cucumber to produce long, thin green ribbons. You need about 3 to 4 ribbons per mummy.
  • Unwrap each cheese stick and lay it flat on a clean surface.
  • Wind a cucumber ribbon tightly around each cheese stick in a diagonal, overlapping slightly, leaving small gaps of white cheese visible. Secure the end with a tiny dab of cream cheese pressed against the stick.
  • Add one more ribbon wound in the opposite direction for a fuller bandage effect.
  • Dab two small dots of cream cheese near the top of the wrapped cheese stick and press one mini chocolate chip onto each dot to form the eyes.
  • Stand mummies upright on a board or lay flat on a platter. Serve within 1 hour.
