It is Spring Break here for my children this week and we have been enjoying a little bit of sunshine and mostly, a lot of rest and relaxation. It has been amazing to not have a schedule or anyplace we really need to be. I promise we haven’t been complete slugs, and have also been using the time to craft, plant and generally get ready for Spring. This week my littlest girls and I crafted a really cute Easter Egg Hunt In A Cup Treat, and of course we love sharing our cooking creations with all of you!
Isn’t this cute?! It is also super simple to make! Besides the wait times on cooking the cake and mixing up the pudding, it takes little to no time to put together.
Here are all of the ingredients you need:
Chocolate Cake Mix
1 Package Instant Vanilla Pudding
Green Food Dye
Easter Egg and Carrot Small Hard Candy- You can grab these at any store during the Spring-time months. Especially look at your special Spring end-cap displays at your big box stores.
Small Clear Plastic Cups
Spring Themed Cupcake Toppers- Again these types of cupcake toppers are everywhere during Spring from places like Walmart to Michael’s and your local grocery store!
Prep Work
To start, first make your pudding. Making sure to add your green dye once the pudding is firm enough. Then place the pudding in the fridge to cool. Next start on your chocolate cake. Follow directions and once the cake is done let it cool down as well.
Assembly Time
Crumble up small pieces of the chocolate cake and put it into your clear plastic cup. I filled the cup about half way with the cake mixture. Then sprinkle or dump in (like my girls did) the little candy Easter eggs.
Lastly, cover the top of the cake and candy mixture with a good sized dollop of your green pudding. To complete this masterpiece, sprinkle the top of the pudding with your small carrot hard candy pieces and insert your cupcake toppers. Voila!
I am thinking making these would be easier than the whole dying the eggs bit and waiting for the Easter Bunny, but…..
Here is a printable copy of this recipe for you as well.
