Groundhog's Day Treat



These cuties were fun and easy to make.  I found the idea online and just ran with it.
First, you take No Bake Peanut Butter cookies and scoop them around a circular object. (I used those plastic candy canes that I had leftover from Christmas - you know, the ones filled with Reese's or other candy.)  I just cut up the candy cane tube into a few two-inch pieces, and then put the cookies around them.

Once, the cookies were hard, I took out the tubes, and viola!  You have Groundhog dirt mounds! :)
The Groundhogs were made out of tootsie rolls, and candy sprinkles.  

Under the cookies, there is another cookie with a whole in the middle to hold the mounds together.  (I just connected them with chocolate icing.) 
That makes it possible to hold the cookie and push the Groundhog up and down.

The kids loved it!!
