Confession – I’ve been thinking of snowmen a lot lately.

Like a lot. {If you haven’t noticed already.}

But not the kind you build outside. {BRRRR I’m not an outside kind of gal}

I’m talking about the fake cute ones that just sit there and look adorable. -FYI-

I’ve shared a few crafts on the blog already and this past weekend I shared an awesome roundup of snowman themed crafts and ideas. It’s been snowman overload to say the least. So to go with the theme of my heart, I decided to whip up a snowman snack for my two favorite men. They of course enjoyed it to the last drop and I loved how simple it was.

Not only is this a yummy snack – but it’s also great for a party or any celebration you may throw this winter. With just a few simple supplies and ingredients – you can have these snowman pudding cups whipped up in no time!

So let’s talk about the snowman cups first – shall we?

For these you will need clear, plastic cups and sharpies. A black and orange sharpie is ideal but you could probably use any color you have on hand.

Also, I used oil based paint Sharpies, but I’m sure regular ones would work too. {Or craft paint you may have on hand}

Using your sharpie – paint on the face. Dots for the eyes and mouth. And an orange carrot for the nose.

Set aside to let them all dry completely. {You could even add a scarf around the cup}

Now on to the pudding!

Vanilla Snowman Pudding

Ingredients:
2 cups milk
1/4 cup sugar
3 Tbs. cornstarch
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt

Directions:
1. In a medium sized saucepan – add your sugar, cornstarch and salt. Heat over medium heat. Gradually whisk in your milk. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly.
2. Remove from heat and stir in your vanilla extract. Let cool. Cover your saucepan and chill for 30 minutes or until set. {Don’t try pouring the hot/warm pudding into the plastic cups. You will end up with melted cups like I did ;)
3. Once ready to serve – pour into your plastic cups. Depending on the size of your cups, you may get 4-6 servings.

Easy, right? For some added flavor you can stir in some cinnamon, banana chunks or maple syrup. Enjoy!

Who knew pudding could be so cute? #gluedtomycrafts
