Ingredients

Strawberry Carrots:

12 fresh strawberries
10 oz white chocolate melting wafers
Orange food coloring or red + yellow (see note)

Dirt Cups:

2 boxes 3.4 ounces each instant chocolate pudding
4 cups cold milk
20 Oreos

Instructions

Strawberry Carrots:

Line a cookie sheet with wax or parchment paper.
Melt the white chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Place them at 50% power for 1 minute, then stir. Then continue heating at 50% power in 30 second increments until melted and smooth.
Put in a few drops of food coloring and stir until you have your desired orange color.
Roll your strawberries into your melted chocolate, making sure the stems are up, and place on prepared cookie sheet. Once they are set, use a spoon to drizzle over more chocolate onto the strawberries.

Dirt Cups:

In a large bowl, combine pudding mix and cold milk. Stir for two minutes then set aside. Pudding should set in five minutes.
Place Oreos in a large Ziploc bag and crush with a rolling pin, or use a food processor to crush into crumbs.
In a little cup or dish, spoon in the pudding and sprinkle with oreo crumbs to create the “dirt”. Then top with two of your chocolate-covered strawberries.

Notes

• Be sure to buy instant pudding. Can use any chocolate flavor.
• Regular or nonfat milk may be used.
• Be sure to use gel based food coloring so your white chocolate doesn’t seize.
• Substitute chocolate graham crackers for the Oreos.
