Buried Treasure Pudding Cups

Our daughter, Anna, dreamed up this fun recipe! It uses just a few simple ingredients and is quick and easy to create. Your guests will have a great time digging for buried gold at the bottom of their pudding cup. Remember, “X” marks the spot! This recipe was featured on our Pirates of the Caribbean dinner.

Instructions:

1. Beat pudding mix and milk in a large bowl using a whisk for two minutes. Transfer pudding to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip. We like Wilton #1A.
