*This gummy worms recipe post is sponsored by SurfSweets throughs the Amplify Influencer Network. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Summer, sand and beaches all go hand-in-hand.
Therefore, no surprise then that my girls and I just love the beach in the summer time. Plus, my girls are truly fish out of water and not only love the water, but the sand, too.
See they absolutely love to ride the waves, but also play in the sand making sand castles and more.
Thus, my girls and I get to the beach as much as we can. But when we can’t still having a treat that reminds us of the beach and those warm, summer days is also fun.
So recently, we got to try SurfSweets Gummy Worms, which are available in local Target Stores. My girls absolutely loved how yummy this sweet candy treat were. But they were a more healthy alternative to your traditional fruity, gummy candies.
See Surf Sweets Gummy Worms are actually made with organic sweeteners and also include 100% vitamin C per serving. But they are still a wonderful blend of tangy and sweet that are simply irresistible! So, now my kids can enjoy their favorite candy and feel great about your choice.

After seeing how much the girls enjoyed these gummy worms, I got an idea of a summer time treat I could create using them.
See in the fall and Halloween time, I always make them Dirt Pudding with Gummy Worms. But since it is summer, I thought it would be fun to make Sand Cups using these Surf Sweet Sour Worms for fun colorful summery garnish.
So what came about is now sure to be a summer time classic dessert for us and a #Momwin for this mom.
Now, check out Gummy Worms Sand Pails Recipe…

This is adorable. I have never seen this. This was a great reminder for me to move my “summer stuff” Pinterest board up. We go away for the 4th and stay at a beach condo with a kitchen. I try to plan simple foods so I’m not taking a ton of stuff with me – this is PERFECT. My kids will love it.
