A perfect little Beach Themed Dessert for your Summertime Parties.

I decided to make this fun little treat for our 4th of July cook-out last Friday night.

I didn’t come up with this cute idea.   I found it online.  (I wish I could give proper credit.)

It’s really fast and easy to make.

1. Add a few drops of blue food coloring to vanilla pudding for the water.
2. Crush up vanilla cookies for the sand.
3. Add a piece of flattened candy for the beach towel.
4. Place a Teddy Graham sunning on the towel
5. Add a drink umbrella for shade.

I had the hardest time finding little drink umbrellas.  After trying two stores, I decided

that I’d just make my own.  For my umbrellas, I used a 3″ scalloped circle punch and cut a

notch half way up into the circle.  Just glue the ends together.

For the pole, I used approximately half of a bamboo skewer.
