Ants Hiding in a Log from the Anteater

2 slices of enriched white or whole wheat bread
4 tablespoons fat-free cream cheese
1/4 cup raisins, unpacked (ants)

1. Remove crusts from the bread.
2. Spread half the cream cheese on each slice.
3. Cut each slice into 3 strips (logs).
4. Place 15 to 20 raisins in a line on two strips. Stack the two strips together, cheese and "ants" side up. Place the third strip on top to form a triple-decker. You now have ants hiding in a log from the anteater.
5. Feed them to your little "anteaters."

Serves 6.
