1 red Airhead candy

24 brown mini M&M's
6 treat pop containers

Instructions

for the candy groundhog:

Spread chocolate frosting over half of one side of a small candy bar.
Place two candy eyes onto the frosting, towards the top of the "face".
Pinch a small piece of Airhead candy to mold into the shape of a nose for each groundhog. Place the nose just under the eyes.
Place 1 white sprinkle under the nose for the groundhog's "tooth".
Place 2 mini M&M's under the nose, overlapping the tooth.
Place 2 mini M&M's above the eyes for the "ears".

for the cake pops:

Place one mini cupcake or brownie on the bottom of each push pop container.
Using a ziplock bag with a whole cut in the corner, pipe chocolate frosting on top of each cupcake or brownie inside of the push pop container.
Sprinkle chocolate cookie crumbs on top of frosting.
Pipe "grass" with green frosting on top of the cookie crumbs.
Add flower-sprinkles to the "grass".
Place the groundhog into the Push Pop containers, pressing gently into the frosting to secure.
...and you're done!
