I made these with my preschoolers and they came out great. I did use black cake icing to hold the eyes and nose on. The kids had fun making them. Thanks
So great to hear Colleen! Thanks for sharing!
I made these today and they are so adorable! Thanks for the idea. I didn’t have much luck getting the facial features and ears to stick with the peanut butter from the cookie, but some cake icing did the trick for me!

Oh perfect, glad to hear you were able to make them and you like them Jessica!!
Where do you get the candy eyes?
Hi Pam – you can find them in the cake decorating section of a store. Some grocery stores sell them, but Michaels is always a safe bet. Amazon would have them too!
How cute! My girls will love making these. And the cute groundhogs make yummy spoon biscuits for our pudding. Perfect!
Ah great idea for using it as a spoon! I didn’t even think of that!
