3 pieces each strawberry and green apple bite-size licorice pieces
6 large ready made oatmeal cookies (such as Archway)
3 tbsp. canned vanilla frosting
3 tbsp. low-sugar strawberry preserves
mini M & M's
2 tbsp grated white chocolate

For red and green "peppers", cut each piece of licorice into 6 strips. Spread 3 cookies each with 1 tablespoon frosting to within 1/4" of edge and each remaining cookies w/ 1 tbsp preserves. Sprinkle cookies w/ M & M 's "Peppers" and grated chocolate, (for the cheese). Dividing equally.

Children love these because they can help make them and there is no baking to do.
