  • 1/4 Cup maple syrup
  • 8 Driscoll's Strawberries
  • 34 Driscoll's Blueberries
  • 7 Driscoll's Blackberries
  • 1 Granny Smith apple, sliced
  • 1 regular sized waffle, store-bought
  • 1 mini sized waffle, store-bought
  • 14 Driscoll's Raspberries
  1. Hull the strawberries, reserving the calyx for the leaves (do not eat the leaves). Slice 2 strawberries into 6 slices. Reserve the rest of the strawberries for another time. Cut the large waffle into 2 pieces, 1 piece should be about ¾ of the waffle in size and the other about ¼ of the waffle in size for the body. Sliced the green apple into 8 slices.
  2. Assemble the Dinosaur:
  3. Place the mini waffles for the head onto the serving platter, followed by arranging the smaller cut waffle and the larger cut waffle for the body. For the eye, place 1 blueberry on the mini waffles and also place 1 calyx for the mouth. Place 6 sliced strawberries for its bony plates across the top of its body. Place 2 raspberries for each leg, underneath its body, 4 legs in total. Next to the last leg, place 10 blueberries upwards towards the top of the platter.
  4. Assemble the Tree:
  5. First arrange 10 apple slices on the serving platter representing the top of the tree. Sporadically, place 3 blueberries on top of the apple slices. For the tree trunk, place 6 raspberries working your way down the platter. Place a mini bowl next to the trunk, filled with your maple syrup. At the bottom of your platter arrange your 8 blackberries and 20 blueberries according to the image. In conclusion, randomly place the rest of the calyx on top of the blackberries and the blueberries.
