# Directions:

03 - Fill in wing details with blueberries, blackberries, grapes, and kiwi. Use thin apple and mango slices to create additional wing patterns and texture.
04 - Arrange a line of grapes or blackberries down the center of the tray to create the butterfly's body.
05 - Place pretzel rods at the top of the butterfly body to simulate antennae.
06 - Dot mini chocolate chips on wings for spots or decorative details, if desired.
07 - In a small bowl, combine vanilla Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Serve alongside the tray.
08 - Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
