Shark sand cups are a huge favorite of my kids; we have been making them since Kylie was in preschool. Over the years, we have started to make them with different themes. This is a fun treat for kids of all ages.

This summer the girls have had a ton of fun in my kitchen making up new snacks to share with their friends! Now with it being summer, Michael decided that we need to do shark ones for Shark Week. Bella insisted on teddy bear crackers for her sand cups.

Sand Cups Ingredients:

Cups lined with vanilla wafers ground in it

How To Make Shark Sand Cups Directions:

In a separate bowl, make your pudding by following the direction on the package and set aside to allow it to set and firm up

Using a food processor grind up your vanilla wafers to create the sand for the bottom of the cup. I personally love my Ninja for smaller jobs like this.

After your pudding has set and thickened, mix in the whipped topping.

Fill the bottom of your cups or bowls with the ground vanilla wafers.

Scoop in the pudding and whipped topping mixture.

Top with your choice gummy and sprinkle over the remaining vanilla wafers to give it a sand effect.

You can also decorate the cups or bowls with stickers as well to match a theme for a party or snack meal as well.
