Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine a package of chocolate pudding mix with 2 cups of cold whole milk. Whisk vigorously for about two minutes until the mixture is smooth and well-blended. Allow the pudding to set for five minutes.
  2. While the pudding sets, place white chocolate melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat them in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each interval until completely smooth. Mix in a few drops of orange food coloring if desired.
  3. Take fresh strawberries and dip them into the melted white chocolate, ensuring they are well-coated. Place them stem-side up on parchment paper to set.
  4. In individual serving cups, start by spooning a generous layer of chocolate pudding, smoothing it out with a spatula.
  5. Next, sprinkle a generous layer of crushed Oreos over the top of each pudding-filled cup, pressing lightly to ensure they stay in place.
  6. Gently insert two of the chocolate-covered strawberries into each cup, positioning them to resemble carrots peeking out of the dirt.
