I know when I get bored I try to find all the snacks I can. During my pillage I had a thought, 'What if I turned my snacks into fun creations?' So here are a few ways to make snacking more interesting!
1. "Berry White Ice Pops"
With summer rolling around, its nice to have a snack on hand that can cool you down. Berry White Ice Pops are a great way to enjoy Popsicles and get a daily dose of fruit! All you need is whole milk, or lactose free milk, honey, vanilla extract, raspberries and blueberries, paper cups and Popsicle sticks. The entire process only takes about ten minutes, minus the freezing. Once they are frozen solid, you can enjoy a fun and nutritious snack!

2. "Cup of Dirt"
This was one of my favorite snacks to make as a kid. You need a box of instant chocolate pudding, milk, crushed up Oreos, and gummy worms. Some like to add whipped cream to theirs, I prefer not too. Dump the chocolate pudding into a bowl, then add the gummy worms in and around the pudding. Crumble the oreos on top of the gummy ridden pudding and wah-la! You have a Cup of Dirt! I recommend putting the bowl in the fridge to chill for about 10 minutes. I think it always tastes better cold.

3. "Ants on a Log"
Despite its name, this snack is super delicious and very simple! It only has three indgredients: celery, peanut butter, and raisins. To make these "ants on a log", cut the celery into finger length logs, add peanut butter into the crevice of the celery, and then add the raisins! If you would prefer something sweeter instead of raisins, tiny chocolate chips work just as well. It;s a yummy snack that takes under five minutes!

4. "Marshmallow Snowmen"
This snack is usually saved for the holidays but I just couldn't go without mentioning them. Marshmallow snowmen are quite easy to make. All you need are so giant marshmallows, small marshmallows, thin pretzel sticks, either gum drops or chocolate chips and your favorite type of icing. I honestly prefer chocolate chips because, in one word, chocolate.
They are simple to assemble. Stack three giant marshmallows on top of one another, then take a pretzel stick and stick it through the middle of the three marshmallows. Then add pretzel sticks to the middle marshmallow. Now you have a body and arms! You can decorate it however you would like!

5. "Bears at the Beach"
With all this free time, sunbathing has become a new trend. If you can do it, why not let your snack do it too. "Bears at the Beach" consists of gummy bears laying on vanilla pudding sand, overlooking a blue jello sea. They even have a tiny umbrella to combat UV rays! It's a simple snack that tickles the funny bone and tastes delicious. The ingredients are simple too: blue jello, vanilla pudding, gummy bears, drink umbrellas and plastic cups. Fill the plastic cups full of jello, then add pudding on one side at the top of the jello. Then set the gummy bears into positions and add the umbrella. Ta-dah! You have Bears at the Beach!
