PTERODACTYL TREATS
(Just for fun)
by Carol Peterson


Ever go dinosaur hunting?  Here’s how to dig up your own nest of dinosaur eggs.  To make Pterodactyl Treats you will need:

•    Jurassic mud:  chocolate pudding (prepared according to instructions on the package to serve 4)
•    Dinosaur dirt:  1 cup crushed chocolate cookies
•    Pterodactyl eggs:  small bag of jelly beans
•    Spoon
•    4 small bowls

Divide the pudding evenly into 4 bowls, forming a small dip in the center of the pudding in each bowl with a spoon.  Sprinkle the crumbs over the pudding.  Place 5 or 6 jelly beans in the center of each mud “nest.”  Chill in the refrigerator until ready to eat.  Serves 4.

    Now – like a good paleontologist, “dig in!”
