Let’s Take the Beach on The Boat: Sand Pudding Cups

(Image from FoodFunFamily.com) So thinking about boating got me to thinking about hanging out on the beach. This got me to thinking about fun food on the beach and from there I ran down the rabbit hole of finding fun food ideas to share with you to take on the boat. This led me to Sand Pudding Cups, which I found on the Food Fun Family blog. (Hop over for all sorts of fun food recipes!) If you’ve got kids, this might be a great way to get them into the mood for some boat time.

Check it out:

Prep Time: 40 mins/Total Time: 40 mins/Serves up to 12

• 1 package vanilla sandwich cookies (Golden Oreos)
• 5 graham crackers
• 2 small boxes Vanilla instant pudding mix
• Milk (according to instant pudding recipe)

• 12 oz Cool Whip
• 12 plastic cups (if you’d like to take this on the boat, find cups you can put a lid on =)
• 24 Teddy Grahams
• 12 mini umbrellas
• 12 jawbreakers or gumballs

INSTRUCTIONS

• Place cookies and graham crackers in blender and blend into crumbs.
• Mix both boxes of vanilla instant pudding according to package directions. Blend in cream cheese then fold in Cool Whip.
