# Cooking steps:
01 - Slice cucumbers into 3/4-inch thick rounds to serve as the 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 a halved sugar snap pea on top of each cucumber round to create the alien's head bump.
04 - Use black olives, sliced or whole, to form mouths or bases for antennae on each cucumber round.
05 - Gently press two edible candy eyes or olive slices above the mouth on each cucumber round.
06 - Insert two pretzel sticks into the top of each cucumber, securing with a dab of cream cheese if needed; place a grape or olive piece at each pretzel tip to form antennae.
07 - Place thin strips of green bell pepper alongside the cucumber rounds to resemble arms or tentacles.
08 - Arrange the assembled aliens on a platter and serve immediately for optimal texture.
