What you’ll need
Pudding Cups
1 Oreo for every cup (crushed)
1 Peep for every cup
Starbursts (orange)
Rips Candy (green)
How to make it
Cut your Starburst in half. Flatten the top of one end and make the other end pointed. On the flattened end add some green Rips, wrap the flattened end around the Rips and then roll the whole thing to form a carrot shape.
Crush one Oreo for every pudding cup, I put them in a bag and smash them with a soup can. Open your pudding cups, place a Peep in the middle of the pudding cup. Sprinkle the crushed Oreos around the peep and then add the candy carrots.

Carrot Patch Cookies
 |
| via Spoonful.com |
What you’ll need
Orange Mike and Ike candies
Green gummy candy (we used Rips licorice pieces, which are flat)
Nabisco Biscos sugar wafer cookies
Chocolate frosting
Chocolate wafer cookie crumbs
How to make it
To make each carrot, cut a slit in one end of a Mike and Ike candy with a sharp knife (an adult’s job). Cut a small triangle from the green gummy candy (if needed, roll it flat), then fringe the base to form leaves. Tuck the triangle into the slit of the Mike and Ike and pinch it closed.
For each carrot planter, place a wafer cookie base on a flat surface. Form the longer walls from two whole cookies and cut a third one to fit the shorter ends. Attach the pieces with frosting.
To fill four planters, combine 2 tablespoons frosting with 2 tablespoons cookie crumbs. Fill each box with the mixture, then press three candy carrots inside. If needed, add more of the frosting mixture to hold the carrots in place.
Should the ruler thirst around the humane refund?
