Here is a great dessert idea for the kids tonight!
Recipe from FamilyFun.Go.com.
What you need:
- Baked cupcake
- Almond Joy candy
- White frosting
- White jelly beans
- Black decorators’ gel
- Watermelon slice candy
- Brown M&M’s Minis
- Chocolate cookie
Remove a piece of cake the width of an Almond Joy candy from the center of a baked cupcake. Set the candy upright in the hole, then spread a layer of white frosting on the cupcake.
For the groundhog’s eyes, trim the ends from a white jelly bean, stick them in place with frosting, then dot them with black decorators’ gel. Add a tiny triangle cut from a watermelon slice candy for a nose, brown M&M’s Minis for ears and cheeks, and a tiny rectangular piece of white jelly bean for teeth. Sprinkle chocolate cookie crumbs around the partially emerged groundhog, and he’s ready to greet his fans.
If you are not a cupcake fan or just don’t bake, try “Groundhog Cups”. Fill a clear plastic cup half way with chocolate pudding and top with crushed graham crackers. Print and cut out pictures of ground hogs and paste to Popsicle sticks. Once they are dry, stick them in the cup with the ground hog peeking out and you’ll have a cute and yummy holiday treat for the kids in no time!
