It’s been a somewhat rough winter in NC. A big snow (for us) and a recent ice storm left many without power for days.
I’ve had enough of this dreariness.
And need to see more of this new life and beauty.
Today I’m so happy to be joining with my friend Amy at Atta Girl Says and Kelly from My Soulful Home to bring you a touch of spring with our Swing Into Spring recipes.
To me, chocolate never goes out of season.
And Oreos? Yes, please.
For this recipe I changed it up just a bit from the traditional chocolate pudding and served it up all ladylike for the pictures.
Oreo Dirt Cake is a favorite request at our house for birthdays, holidays and any time I we have a chocolate craving!
