A Rainy Day Treat

Did you dare attend an Easter Egg hunt in the rain on Easter Saturday?

We did. And it was great because there was only a handful of die hard attendees and my daughter got a basket full of eggs!! She had a fabulous time wearing her rain boots and her bunny ears.

It has been beautiful weather the past few weekends. I hope you've gotten out to enjoy it.

I have a fun recipe (which a friend actually pulled off the Internet) to try out when it's rainy and the kids want to be entertained.






My daughter and I made these and she had a great time mixing all the ingredients and crushing the cookies to smithereens. Of course, by the time we were done, we were too full to eat the final result.

Pudding Dirt Cups

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

2 cups cold milk
1 4-serving size package instant chocolate pudding
8 oz., frozen whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
1 1/2 cups crushed sandwich cookies (such as Oreos)
20 gummy worms

Preparation:

Whisk together milk and instant pudding for two minutes, until pudding is completely dissolved. Let stand 5 minutes to thicken.

Stir on frozen whipped topping and 1/2 cup of the crushed cookies.

Spoon into 10 cups.

Sprinkle remaining crushed cookies over the pudding mixture. Top with 2 gummy worms.

Chill until ready to serve.

Makes 10 servings.


Instead of the cups, we just did two small tins.

I hope you enjoy making this fun treat with your kids. Remember, it's just food, it washes off!
