Place little wiener upright at one end of the frank to form the upper part of the driver's body, using CHEEZ WHIZ to secure pieces. Attach cherry tomato to top of the little wiener with pretzel stick to form the "driver's head."
PLACE tomato slice upright at one end of sandwich, in front of the driver, to resemble the windshield, attaching to frank with a dab of CHEEZ WHIZ. Place Singles over the frank, in front of the windshield, to form the "hood." Decorate with ketchup.
ADD green olives to front of hood for the "headlights," using 2 of the pretzel sticks, then attach pickle slices with 4 of the pretzel sticks to both sides of the bun for "wheels." Add the cracker for the "steering wheel."
ATTACH the white parts of the green onion to the driver's head with a dab of CHEEZ WHIZ to resemble the goggles. Attach ripe olive slice, cut in half, to driver's head, using dab of CHEEZ WHIZ, to form "smile." Cut remaining half of olive slice crosswise in half for the "eyebrows."

Answer 3

the 'dirt cake' is always a popular choice...DIRT CAKE

1 pkg. Oreo cookies
1 pkg. instant chocolate pudding
1 sm. Cool Whip
Gummy worms
Candy rocks
Artificial flowers

Blend cookies in blender to make coarse crumbs. Prepare pudding according to package directions. Fold pudding into Cool whip.
Put 1/2 cookie crumbs in a new, clean flower pot or plastic bowl. Place pudding over layer of crumbs. Top with remaining crumbs.

Garnish with a few gummy worms and candy rocks
the individual flower pots are a great idea and they can also paint them ...
