Groundhog Cupcakes.

In honor of Punxsutawney Phil not seeing his shadow and bringing us closer to spring we decided to make groundhog cupcakes today. I found the idea on the Family Fun website. I couldn't find the exact ingredients listed in the recipe but we improvised. And who doesn't love an excuse to have a cupcake!!!!




I was able to get these unfrosted cupcakes from our grocery stores bakery.







1. Cut a small hole in the top of the cupcake to fit an Almond Joy into.

2. Cover the cupcake with white frosting.

3. I cut a small piece of a marshmallow to make the eyes. Glue all of the candy pieces on with a dab of frosting. (If you have some chocolate frosting it might work better for gluing the pieces on the face. The white frosting showed up more than we wanted it too.)

4. Use a small little nonpareil as pupils for the eyes.

5. We used a small pink heart for the nose, black bats (these were in our Halloween sprinkles container), and we used chocolate chips for the ears.

6. Sprinkle some crushed Oreo around the base of the groundhog for dirt.

7. Enjoy!!! We did!
