This tasteful container is constructed with candy bars. Consider personalizing the box lid with a conversation heart or a special message written with white chocolate or frosting.

Ingredients

• 1 carton (7 ounces) milk chocolate for dipping
• 4 fresh strawberries
• 5 milk chocolate candy bars (1.55 ounces each)
• 1/2 cup vanilla or white chips, melted
• 1/2 cup cold milk
• 1/4 cup instant chocolate pudding mix
• 1-1/4 cups whipped topping

Preparation

1. Melt dipping chocolate according to package directions; dip strawberries into chocolate and allow excess to drip off. Place on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet; set aside.
2. Cut candy bars in half widthwise.
3. Drizzle with white chocolate; refrigerate until set.
4. Dip the short sides of two candy bar halves into melted chocolate; place at right angles to each other on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet, forming two walls of a box.
5. Dip the short sides of two more candy bar halves; attach at right angles to form a four-walled box.
6. Repeat, forming a second box.
7. Refrigerate boxes and strawberries until set, about 10 minutes.
8. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set; fold in whipped topping.
9. Place boxes on serving plates.
10. Cut a small hole in the corner of a pastry or plastic bag; insert star pastry tip. Fill bag with pudding mixture; pipe into boxes.
11. Reheat dipping chocolate if necessary.
12. Dip the long sides of remaining candy bar halves into melted chocolate; adhere to a top edge of each box, forming a lid.
13. Garnish with strawberries.
14. Refrigerate for 10 minutes or until set.

Yield: 2 boxes (2 servings each).
