Preparation

• 1 Combine chili powder, pepper, salt and garlic powder in a small mixing bowl. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork and place the meat in slow cooker.
• 2 Pour the root beer over the pork and cook until tender, about 6-8 hours on high or 8-10 hours on low.
• 3 Using two forks, shred the pork into bite-size pieces on a cutting board. Return the shredded meat to the slow cooker and add the pineapple BBQ sauce. Mix sauce and meat together.
• 4 Slice dinner rolls in half. Separate top half from bottom.
• 5 Spoon a portion of the BBQ pulled pork onto bottom half of each roll.
• 6 Use quarter slice of cheese to create teeth for each slider. Place teeth on top of pulled pork.
• 7 Slice an inch-long slit across the top half of each roll to place "hair" into. Place on top of pulled pork, creating a slider.
• 8 For hair: Gently arrange shredded carrots and julienned bell pepper into the prepared slit across the top of the roll.
• 9 For eyes: Use a quarter slice of cheese to create two eye shapes for each slider. Use two toothpicks to attach cheese. Then place a blue cereal loop and olive quarter onto each toothpick.
• 10 For nose, eyebrows and ears: For each slider, cut the tip of a baby pepper as the nose. Divide the remaining pepper in half. Cut one portion lengthwise to create ears and cut the other portion into two rectangles for eyebrows. Gently place each onto the slider. If necessary, use toothpicks to secure.
