Groundhog Day Snack: A Quick and Easy Idea

A Groundhog Day snack is a great way to celebrate with the kids. Perhaps you are ready for spring already or just want to see what the groundhog predicts. Either way, celebrating is a fun way to pass the dreary winter day. My quick and easy Groundhog Day pudding cup snacks are the perfect way to celebrate. These are super easy to make for an entire classroom or just as a snack for your little one on Groundhog Day.

This one was originally published on January 29, 2013, however, I am republishing with more information.

Groundhog Day Snack

Ingredients:

• Pudding cups
• Nutter Butter Bites
• Nature Valley Granola Thins or a graham cracker
• Black writing icing
• White cake icing (either in a pastry bag or the can/tube with a fitted writing tip)
• Edible markers in pink and black
• Coconut
• Green food coloring

Instructions:

First, put some coconut in a zippered bag and add a few drops of green food coloring. Zip the bag closed and shake around until you have “green grass”.

Open up a pudding cup and push any pudding stuck to the top down. Add a layer of “grass” aka colored coconut.

Next, you will need to make that pesky groundhog. Your base is the granola thin or you can use a graham cracker if you can’t find these. Then use icing to glue on two Nutter Butters for ears and use the white and black icing to pipe on eyes. Your edible markers make a cute nose and mouth easily. Then using the white and black icing again to create some “buck teeth”.

Then just shove that groundhog down into his hole. If you are making these ahead of time for a classroom, I would shove him in his pudding cup very last minute so the granola bar does not get soggy.

Serve up this Groundhog Day snack and enjoy as you wait to see whether or not the groundhog will predict snow or sun for the next six weeks.

The kids will love these cute snacks. You can even have them help to make them!

So, are you rooting for winter or spring this Groundhog Day? I always choose spring, however, sometimes that groundhog disappoints me!
