Welcome back....to whatcha making Wednesday.... This week we made Pudding Cones... I'm sure this has been done... but I was trying to figure out what to have my Tot School Class make for their very first cooking project...that would not be too stressful... and instantly thought of pudding in a bag...so easy!!! Sometimes we put the pudding in a graham cracker crust... but...I somehow thought this may be messy/ or hard to eat for the 2 year olds... so... my Husband said... "Why not put them in ice cream cones?"... They came out so cute!!...

Pouring the milk in the bag.... Age 2... some assistance may be needed ;-)The older kids (age 4) are able to complete this activity on their own...

Squishing the pudding and the milk... this was the favorite part...

The Finished Pudding Cone... YUMMY!!!!

What you will need:
1 Package of Instant Pudding (we used chocolate)
1 1/4 Cup Milk (This is less than what is directed on the package)
Redi Whip/ Whip Cream (optional)

Zip Lock Bag

Directions:
Put the pudding and the milk in the bag...squish it around until semi firm... cut hole in zip lock bag...smoosh pudding right into ice cream cones (should make about 4 cones with one regular sized package).... top with whip cream/redi whip
