We are big fans of themed Easter treats (and to be honest, all delicious desserts, especially it involves chocolate and fruits!) Strawberries are a fruit that can make a natural transition into short, fat carrots with the help of orange candy melts (or white melting chocolate with a dab of food coloring). So goes this delicious little (Easter) snack with yummy strawberry carrots in pudding “dirt.” Oh, and did I mention that the chocolate dirt is actually Oreos? It’s all very tasty, and the look of carrots growing in the dirt is so fun. If you love themed Easter desserts, this idea is for you!
