# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - Slice cucumbers into 3/4-inch thick rounds to serve as alien faces.
02 - Spread a small dollop of softened cream cheese atop each cucumber round to act as glue.
03 - Place a green grape or halved sugar snap pea on top of each cucumber round for the alien's head bump.
04 - Use black olives, sliced or whole, to create mouths or bases for antennae.
05 - Gently press two edible candy eyes or olive slices above the mouth on each cucumber round.
06 - Insert two mini pretzel sticks into the top of each cucumber round, securing with cream cheese if necessary. Cap each pretzel with a grape or olive piece to form antenna tips.
07 - Enhance the design by adding thin strips of green bell pepper to resemble arms or tentacles alongside the cucumber rounds.
08 - Arrange assembled aliens on a platter and serve immediately for optimal texture.
