Make a beautiful centerpiece for your next picnic using fudge stripe cookies, small gum drops and skewers.  Push a gum drop down the skewer about an inch from the top.  Push the cookie down the skewer over the gum drop and top with another gum drop.   Make a bouquet of a dozen cookie flowers and use a fruit or vegetable for the vase (i.e. cantaloupe, egg plant, etc). 

Children love making and eating these colorful bouquets!
