Today, I’m going to show you how to make a croissant crab. I spotted something similar on Pinterest and had to make a few of these croissant crabs for my kids. It’s such a fun and unique way to enjoy a croissant and it’s easier than you might think to turn a croissant into a crab!

Ingredients (for 1 croissant crab)

• 1 butter croissant
• 3 strawberries
• 2 blueberries
• 2 banana slices 
• uncooked pasta
• 2 toothpicks  

Directions

Use a butter croissant to make the body of the crab. 

Now, for the claws, I’m using fresh strawberries. They add a nice touch of sweetness and a pop of color. You just need to slice the strawberry in two and cut a triangle out. Repeat the same process to make all four claws.

And for the eyes, I’m using banana slices and blueberries.

Use a piece of uncooked pasta or spaghetti to attach the blueberries to the banana slices. 

Then use two toothpicks to attach the eyes to the croissant. 

Make a tongue out of a strawberry slice. 

Make a horizontal cut in the croissant for the mouth opening and then insert the strawberry slice in. 

And there you have it, a croissant crab. Perfect for a fun and unique breakfast or brunch dish. And the best part, you can eat the claws without getting crab juice all over your hands 😊.
