Strawberries dipped in chocolate to look like carrots! These Cute Garden Carrot Cupcakes baked in mason jars are the most adorable cupcakes you’ll see this spring! I crushed up some Oreos to make the “dirt” and since they’re baked in a jar they’re perfect for an outdoor party! Cute Garden Carrot Cupcakes!

Ingredients

Orange chocolate melts
Strawberries
Crushed Oreos

Chocolate Frosting

2-3 cups powdered sugar
1 tbsp. milk
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup butter softened

Chocolate Cake

2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup oil or melted butter
3 eggs
1 box chocolate cake mix

Method

01

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line pans with cupcake liners or grease small mason jars and place on a cookie sheet.
02

Sift cake mix into a large bowl to remove any lumps and add remaining "cake" ingredients. Stir until smooth.
03

Fill cupcake liners 3/4 full or jars 2/3 full and bake for 15-20 minutes for cupcakes or 18-22 minutes for jars. Let cool.
04

Chocolate Frosting: Beat butter until smooth. Add cocoa powder, vanilla and milk and beat. Slowly add powdered sugar until you reach your desired consistency.
05

Dip strawberries in melted orange chocolate melt and let on wax or parchment paper. Drizzle extra chocolate over the strawberries to give a carrot look! (I put chocolate in a small plastic bag a snipped off the corner to drizzle.)
06

Frost cupcakes and cover with crushed Oreos, then top with chocolate-dipped strawberries!
