Because you were begging for it ....
TA-DA-DA-DA! :D

NO BAKE CATERPILLAR CAKE

1 c. milk
3 3/4 oz. pkg. instant pistachio pudding mix
8 oz. container frozen whipped topping, thawed
8 1/2 oz. pkg. (about 36) chocolate wafers
String licorice
Assorted candies or colored sugar
Green tinted coconut, if desired

In small bowl, combine milk and pudding mix. Beat with rotary beater or at low speed until well combined, about 1 minute; let stand 5 minutes. Fold in 1 cup whipped topping. Spread 1 tablespoon pudding mixture onto each chocolate wafer.

On large piece of foil, stack frosted wafer to form 1 long roll. Wrap roll in foil; refrigerate 2 to 3 hours. Remove from foil; place on serving plate. Spread remaining whipped topping over top and halfway down sides of roll. Use licorice strings to form "antennae". Decorate with assorted candies or colored sugar. Arrange green tinted coconut around caterpillar. Refrigerate until serving time. To serve, cut diagonally into slices. 12 servings.


CATERPILLAR SANDWICH

10 sm. soft dinner rolls, each about 3 inches in diameter
Ham salad or tuna-carrot salad (recipes follow)
21 pitted ripe olives or seedless grapes
2 sm. celery sticks

Split each roll in half horizontally; fill rolls with your choice of ham or tuna salad. Arrange filled rolls in an "S" shape on a serving tray. Spear olives on wooden picks; push 2 olives into either side of each roll for legs (or simply set olives alongside rolls). Push remaining olive, cut in half, into front roll for eyes.

For antennae, push celery sticks into front roll. You may assemble the sandwich up to 1 hour ahead, then cover with a damp cloth and hold at room temperature until serving time.

HAM SALAD:

In a bowl, blend 2 cups ground cooked ham, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/3 cup sweet pickle relish, 1 teaspoon mustard and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire. Mix well.

TUNA-CARROT SALAD:

In a bowl, combine 1 (9.25 oz.) can solid-pack tuna, drained and flaked, 1/2 cup chopped sweet pickles, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, and 3/4 cup coarsely shredded peeled carrot. Stir gently to blend.


CREEPING CATERPILLAR

2 pt. mint chocolate chip or pistachio ice cream
8 chocolate wafer cookies
28 miniature marshmallows
2 (3 inch) pieces red licorice
2 green candy covered peanuts
1 red hot candy

Scoop 8 scoops ice cream into cookies. Arrange in a zigzag ion cookie sheet or tray. Place 2 marshmallows on each side of 7 scoops for feet. Insert licorice in top of eighth scoop for antennae. Stick peanuts on for eyes. Freeze at least 1 hour. Just before serving, position red hot for mouth. Makes 8 servings.
