Time Saving Tips:

  • Can I make the chocolate covered strawberry “carrots” ahead of time? Yes, make the day before and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Do not make them more than a day ahead of time as the strawberries can start to sweat in the refrigerator causing the candy melt coating to have condensation on them.

  • Can I make the oreo “dirt” and coconut grass ahead of time? Absolutely! Make the oreo dirt and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Make the coconut “grass” up to 3 days before you will use it and store in an airtight container at room temperature.
