GREEN GRAPE SALAD
This is a wonderful dessert salad that never failed to be a hit. Made the day before the brown sugar makes the sauce taste like caramel. You can use less brown sugar, if you wish.

Steps:
- Starting from the stem end, peel skin from black grapes halfway off. Using a very small melon baller, scoop out stem end of each black grape to create a hole. Insert a Concord grape into the hole of each black grape; serve.
Tips:
- Choose firm, unblemished green grapes for the best results.
- Use a paring knife to carefully remove the skin from the grapes, leaving the stems intact.
- For a more realistic effect, use black sesame seeds for the alligator's eyes.
- If you don't have any black sesame seeds, you can use mini chocolate chips or even raisins.
- To make the alligator's teeth, use slivered almonds or chopped walnuts.
- Serve the alligator eyes as a fun and festive appetizer at your next party.
Conclusion:
These green grape alligator eyes are a fun and easy appetizer that is perfect for any party or gathering. They are made with simple ingredients and can be assembled in just a few minutes. The alligator eyes are sure to be a hit with your guests, and they are a great way to add a touch of fun to your party.
