Make your own snack size cups

Are you buying pudding and jello cups to pack in lunches? Why not invest in a set of small reuseable containers and make your own. I have a set of tupperware ones that I love, but any brand will work as long as they have a decent seal. Making your own will save your more than 50% off buying them in the disposable containers! Best part is you can make the flavors your love the most and doctor them up for your tastes. Here are a few ideas to get you started.

Jell-o
  • Consider layering colors/flavors. Fill the container half full and let set, then add a second flavor on top.
  • Mix in fruit such as oranges in orange jello or diced pairs in lime jello.
Pudding
  • Top chocolate pudding with chocolate or white chocolate chips
  • Top vanilla pudding with chocolate or cherry chips
