FRUITY SNACK FLOWER BOUQUET

Steps:

• Unroll and remove paper from Fruit Roll-Ups fruit flavored snacks. Using 2 1/2-inch round cutter, cut circles from snacks. (A bottle cap this size can also be used to cut around with knife or kitchen scissors.) Wrap cut circles around wafer cookies.
• Place frosting in small resealable sandwich-size bag; cut off very small corner. Attach 5 Fruit Gushers fruit flavored snacks to each covered wafer cookie by piping on small amount of frosting. To make centers of flowers, cut circles from fruit flavored snacks using 1 1/2-inch cutter. Pinch each circle in the middle, and twist to form flower shape. Attach to center of each cookie using small amount of frosting.
• Place cookies on cooking parchment paper- or plastic wrap-lined platter (to prevent sticking). From green part of fruit flavored snacks, cut 1/2-inch wide strips. Roll up tightly to form stems. Cut various lengths to create flower bouquet. Fold over green portion of fruit flavored snacks to double thickness; cut out leaves, and attach to stems using small amount of water.
