Recipe: Groundhog’s Day Treats

P1133586 1

As we enter January, the bulk of the holiday season has concluded. It takes a lot of work to make sure that the holidays are special, and it’s easy to miss that magic once it’s gone. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s aren’t the only holidays, of course, but once we’ve celebrated those titans, the cool-down period hits a little hard.

Once you’ve left your elementary school, it feels like Groundhog Day quite literally gets overshadowed by every other holiday. I don’t know about you, but I think that Punxsutawney Phil might feel more inclined to ignore his shadow if we give his holiday the recognition it deserves. These two desserts are super simple to make and are perfect for children and adults alike. Hopefully by the time you read this recipe you’ll be smiling in the sunshine and not throwing on another layer.
