The recurring problem seems to be the cream cheese softening the cracker. Why not put a pepperoni slice on the cracker and build up from it?

This recipe was great fun to make! I served them for an "indoor picnic" for a recouperating friend. Everybody loved them! These did get soft fairly quickly so make them at the last minute. :)

Brought these to a baby shower and they were a hit! Easy to make! Tasted delicious. Make these right before you want to serve them or the crackers will get soggy.

These are adorable but one caution. The first time I made them the night before and refrigerated them for work the next day. They were so soggy. Has anyone had luck making them ahead of time or do you pretty much have to make and eat them right away? They are delicious and easy to make just not so good soggy.

I have made these many times now and they are always a hit at the party. They taste really very good. One time I didn't take the time to cut the tomato, omitted the olive and chives and still VERY good! Great appetizer!

I also used flavored cream chees for quick assembly. My 2-year-old grandson loves the "YADYBUGS!"

I made these ladybugs for a baby shower. Everyone said they tasted great; BUT the crackers got soggy.

I Loved these darling lady bug appetizers. They went like hotcakes. I used rosemary/olive oil Triscuit and Brie Cheese in the round. Sliced the Brie for the white on the cracker, then added the ladybug. They flew right off the plate!

We made these for a Widow's Tea we did one year, with a summery, warm, sunshine theme. All of the dear widows LOVED them, and were even hesitant to eat them because they were SO cute! :)
