It’s a beautiful, beautiful day outside and I’m thinking that spring is coming soon, at least to my neck-of-the-woods. But Saturday we will find out for sure if we can expect sunshine or stormy weather. Come one Phil. Don’t let us down!
This week I thought I would share some Groundhog Day recipes. I’ve already shared Groundhog day pancakes and today we made another Groundhog day recipe: Punxsutawney Pudding cups (which I can’t even say, so let’s call them Groundhog Day pudding cups for short. 😉 Okay?)
These turned out so cute and I got the idea from my favorite magazine Family Fun
I made up some instant pudding but you could make this easier by just buying the pudding cups that are already made.
I then added crushed Oreo cookies to the top to resemble the dirt.
Then it was time to turn regular Milano cookies
I found this nifty neato trick of adding frosting to medicine syringes for adding small details to cookies or whatever you are decorating and it worked like a charm. Especially since I just needed a little bit.
I used the syringe to add eyes and a nose to the groundhogs. Then I added two peanut butter chocolate chips for the cheeks and two sliced almonds for the ears. I had big plans of cutting other almonds and making teeny tiny teeth for the groundhogs but, sorry, that was NOT going to happen. I attempted though. Like I’ve said before, if it’s not easy peasy it doesn’t belong on this blog. 🙂
Then just take these cuties and put them in your pudding cups.
And as you enjoy your yummy treat let’s just hope we will be seeing spring really soon. I guess we’ll find out soon enough!

Oh my gosh! These are the cutest things ever! My daughter used to only want to go a certain restaurant for dinner just because the kids meal had a free dirt cup for dessert. Love these! Thanks.
Thanks Wendy! Maybe you’ll have to make one for her so she can reminisce. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like a dirt cup for dessert. 😉
