Valentines Day Recipes?
Does anyone have any ideas of something that won’t take too long/isn’t too big but is good and chocolate? Like would be possible to make some kind of" dirt(as in cookie crumbs..not really dirt..lol) cookie" and use icing to make a flower?
If so anyone have recipes to make "dirt cookies" and icing? Also is it possible to dye chocolate pink?
Sorry for the million questions
Thanks!

the dirt you can make from crushing oreos or any other type cookie like that

my mom makes it she puts chocolate pudding layer then a layer of oreo "dirt" then the worms….instead of worms you can do flowers made out of chocolate like the person above said or find gummy flowers or something and if you want "grass" you can if you like get shredded coconut and food color it green by putting it in a plastic bag, adding some green color and just shaking it
first off, the only way to make chocolate pink, is if you use white chocolate.
Ive never heard of dirt cookies, but Allrecipes.com has a billion awesome recipes on it, i suggest maybe looking there
