This recipe makes 12 Squooshies

What you need:

  • 1 1/2 cups of cold milk ( can be skimmed or whole)
  • 1/2 cup of peanut butter- can be crunchy or smooth
  • 1 package ( 4- serving size) instant chocolate pudding and pie filling
  • 24 graham crackers- for something different and for your chocolate lovers you can use the chocolate graham crackers
  • Colored sprinkles or mini chocolate chips or toffee bits - you choose.

What you do:

  1. In a deep bowl, add the peanut butter.  Slowly add the milk, stirring until the mixture is smooth.  Add the pudding mix.  Beat with a wire whisk for 2 more minutes.  Let the mixture stand or rest for 5 minutes.
  2. Spread the pudding mixture about 1/2 inch thick onto 12 of the crackers. Top with the remaining crackers, pressing lightly and smoothing around the edges with a butter knife or spatula.  Coat the edges with the sprinkles.
  3. Place the Squooshies on a baking tray and place in the freezer for about 3 hours or until firm.
