Ingredients

• Chocolate cupcake
• Chocolate frosting
• Chocolate sprinkles and green sugar sprinkles
• Oreo
• Candy eyes
• Chocolate M&M's
• Coconut

Instructions

1. Frost your chocolate cupcake and set aside.
2. Assemble the groundhog's face using candy eyes, M&M's for the cheeks and ears, and coconut for the teeth, 'gluing' them together with a little chocolate frosting.
3. Put the Oreo face into the top of the cupcake, and then sprinkle a few chocolate sprinkles and candy sugar pieces around the top.

An alternative to making cupcakes would be to make the groundhog face on the OREO and put it into dirt pudding cups. This makes a delicious gluten-free treat if you use the gluten-free OREO’s. You could also use gluten-free cupcakes too.

These would also make a delicious storytime time treat for kids while you read a book about groundhogs.
