RECIPE:
(4 servings)

"Carrot" Chocolate Covered Strawberries
-Strawberries w/ very green/nice/fresh leaves (they will be seen)
-Wilton orange candy melts 

1) Wash your strawberries, make sure they are dried well
2) Melt your candy melts using the instructions provided on the package
3) Hold the strawberries by the leaves and dip them in, wiggling them around to cover as much of the strawberry as possible, avoiding the leaves
4) Set them on parchment paper to dry. Wilton candy melts tend to set very quick!
5) Place the left over melted candy melts in a Ziploc bag and cut a small slit
6) Drizzle some on top of the coated strawberries to give them a carrot texture look

Chocolate Mousse:
-2 eggs separated, yolk & whites
-2/3 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips
-2 tablespoons of butter
-4 tablespoons of granulated sugar
-1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
-1 cup heavy cream
-1/2 teaspoon instant coffee/espresso powder
-a bit of water

1) Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Place into the fridge for later use

2) Combine the egg yolks and sugar until they turn very pale. Set aside
3) Using a double boiler method, add the chocolate chips, butter, vanilla extract, and coffee mixture into the bowl.
4) Mix until the mixture is nicely melted
5) Turn off the heat and slowly add the egg yolk mixture
6) After the mixtures are incorporated together, turn on to medium heat to cook the egg yolks a bit 
7) Let the mixture cool before combining to the next mixture
8) In another bowl, whip the egg whites until they are light and fluffy, with soft peaks
9) Once the chocolate egg yolk mixture has cooled, lightly the egg whites into the mixture
10) Lastly, combine the heavy cream to the new mixture
Place the mousse batter into containers or watch the video to see how I did mine. The mousse takes at least 6 hours to set in the fridge!

"Dirt" Cookie Crumbs
-9 Oreo cookies
1) Remove the middle filling of the Oreos
2) Using a blender, ziploc or bowl & utensil, turn the cookies into crumbs


Assemble! (As shown in the YouTube video)
