It's Groundhog Day!

In honor of the GH day today I thought I'd do a little groundhog image search.

I actually came across this idea for chocolate groundhogs made from mini Almond Joy candies and chocolate frosting with decorations.  So cute, I like how the little almond looks like a tummy!

Unfortunately in doing research I found out that mini Almond Joy's status is has not been declared entirely gluten-free!  (What?  It's just almonds, coconut and chocolate!)

But I found a recipe for making mini Almond Joy candies that are entirely gluten-free and probably a bit healthier than the packaged version.

So what do you think, worth the effort?  I think if you make the homemade Almond Joy's beforehand, making them into little groundhogs would be a cute little treat you can make with your kids.

So what are you hoping for, a late winter or an early spring?
