Snake Bits with Barbecue Sauce

Snake Bits with Barbecue Sauce

Ingredients:
1 (10-ounce) package rigatoni
2 cans squirtable cheese spread
1 small jar barbecue sauce
16 to 20 whole black peppercorns
1 carrot

Directions:
1. Cook the pasta according to the package directions and rinse in cold water.
2. Covering one end of each rigatoni with your finger, fill with cheese spread.
3. Place 6 to 8 filled pieces end to end on a platter in a curvy snake shape.
4. Using a toothpick, spread lines of barbecue sauce along the top of each snake for markings.
5. For heads, use barbecue sauce to glue 2 peppercorn eyes onto the end opposite the tail.
6. Wash and peel the carrot, then make one more peeling for each snake. Cut a long, thin triangle out of the narrow end of each peel to make a forked tongue, and position the tongues.
