Candy Flowers

1. You can make these a day or even a few ahead of time. They do take some time, but are really fun to make this dessert for Spring! Place a piece of wax paper onto a baking sheet.
2. To make the flower stems, melt 1/2 cup white chocolate chips with 1/2 teaspoon of oil in a medium bowl and add green plant-based food coloring. Using a paint brush, paint the green chocolate on each pretzel stick. Place each pretzel stick onto the wax paper to set up.
3. For the flowers, melt 1/4 cup of white chocolate chips with 1/4 teaspoon of oil in a small bowl per color you're using. Add plant-based food coloring to achieve the desired shade. Using a paint brush, pain the flowers onto the wax paper directly. NOTE!! It's best to layer the flowers so they don't break when you try to peel them off. I like to paint the first layer and let it set, then follow eith 2-3 more layers. This also allows the flowers to have some dimension to look a bit more realistic too 🙂 You can also make the bees if you'd like!
4. To assemble the flowers, dab a small dot onto the pretzel stem and then very gently press the flower onto the stick. Set it back onto the wax paper to set. You can store these in a sturdy airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, but be careful not to knock the container so you don't break the flowers.

Chocolate Shells

1. Make the chocolate shells first. In a glass measuring cup or bowl, melt the chocolate chips with the oil in 30 second increments until melted and smooth. Do not over heat or the chocolate won't be spreadable. Place 6 baking cups on a baking sheet. Using a paintbrush or a spoon, spread a layer of chocolate to cover the inside of the baking cup, relatively thick. Place in the freezer for about 5-7 minutes until it hardens. Repeat with a second coat of chocolate. You can do this a day ahead of time if you'd like, and keep them stored covered in your fridge/freezer.

Chocolate Avocado Pudding

1. Place all of the avocado pudding ingredients in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Spoon the pudding into the chocolate shells, cover, and refrigerate 30 minutes-overnight.

Assembly

1. To make the dirt layer, place the Oreos in your food processor/blender and blend until fine. Divide the Oreo “dirt” between the cups evenly.
2. Add the flowers to each dirt cup (if using) and even gummy worms if desired. Serve right away.
