CHOCOLATE LOVERS REJOICE!

March 16-22 (The third week in March) Is American Chocolate Week! (how can you not enjoy this amazing creation? You can't have a happy life without a little chocolate, right?)

Everybody MUST celebrate this lovely gift! I thought I would post this wonderful news now to give you ample time to prepare for the wonders you will embark on in the upcoming week!

Here are a few ideas...

Chocolate Ice Cream

Hot Chocolate- if you live where it is a little chilly

Frozen Chocolate Jello Pudding- I like things from the freezer, if you can't tell by now!

I'm sure you can think of many more... but since it is also St. Patrick's Day you should start off the week with a little dirt pudding from the castle in Ireland brought over by Harry O' Clancy...

(long story, St. Patty's Day is a BIG celebration in my house. Green pancakes, green orange juice, Irish stew, green breadsticks, dirt pudding, pot of gold from Harry, etc...)

Ingredients

1 package Oreo cookies, crushed
2 cups cold milk
1 package chocolate instant pudding mix
1 small container Cool Whip topping, thawed
1 package gummy worms

Directions

Put cookies into a zipper style bag and close tightly.
Using a rolling pin, roll and crush the cookies until crumbly. Set aside.
In a large bowl, pour the milk and chocolate instant pudding mix.
Whisk well until all of the pudding mix is dissolved.
Let stand 5 minutes.
Add the Cool Whip and 1/2 of the crushed cookies.
Stir until well blended.
Place a large spoonful of crushed cookies into the bottoms of the plastic cups.
Add the pudding mixture on top of that until the cups are 3/4 full.
Add 1 large gummy worm so that it is half in the cup and 1/2 hanging out of the cup.
Spoon in more crushed cookie around the worm to hold it in place.
Serve chilled and ENJOY!

Holly said...: We were pretty excited that Harry O'Clancy visited us this year too. Altough, I have no clue where the heck that name came from, we still enjoy the chocolate. And I think I'll make the chocolate pudding this year too. I liked it as a kid, so since Emri eats every sweet she's given, I'm sure she'll love it too.; 14 March, 2008 14:44
