Recipe: Rice Krispies® Carrots

carrot rice krispies

Need a simple recipe that will make you look like a rockstar at the class Easter party? Look no further! These semi-homemade Rice Krispies® Carrots look adorable, taste great and they are really easy to make!

Ingredients:

  • Rice Krispies® Treats (I used store-bought but you could make your own)
  • Orange melting chocolate (like Wilton’s)
  • Toothpicks
  • Parchment paper
  • Edible Easter grass
  • Food handling gloves

Directions:

  1. Unwrap all of the Rice Krispies® treats
  2. Cut the treats in half lengthwise and then diagonally (Each treat will make 4 “carrots.” The carrots will look small but they are rich, so it’s the perfect size!)
  3. Poke a toothpick in each carrot shaped treat and place on a tray lined with parchment paper.
  4. Once all treats are cut, place in the freezer for a few minutes while you prepare the chocolate.
  5. Place the melting chocolate in a glass bowl and heat in 30-second intervals at 50% power. Stir after every 30 second. (Note: do NOT overheat)
  6. Once chocolate is to the correct consistency, remove treats from freezer.
  7. Dip each treat in the chocolate to completely cover. Place back on the parchment paper.
  8. Once treats are dipped, place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes or until you are ready for the next step.
  9. Remove treats from refrigerator and put on food handling gloves.
  10. Carefully remove the toothpick from each treat. When you remove the toothpicks, circle them around to make the hole in the end of the treat a bit bigger.
  11. Insert three 1.5-inch pieces of edible Easter grass into the hole left by the toothpick.
  12. Display on a cute tray or wrap individually in small cellophane bags. (and look like a rockstar at your Easter party!) 😉

Enjoy!
