Candy House or Castle Building
Who says gingerbread houses are only for the holidays? Build your own candy kingdom any time of the year using graham crackers as walls and jelly beans, gummies, and licorice as decoration. Let your kids’ imaginations run wild as they construct their delicious dream houses.
Gummy Worms & Dirt Cups
For a fun and simple dessert, layer chocolate pudding with crushed cookies to create edible “dirt,” then top it off with Cottage Country Gummy Worms for a wiggly surprise! This treat is perfect for little gardeners and nature enthusiasts.
