Rice Krispie Carrots

Just gettin' ready for Grandma and Grandpa Myrick's annual easter egg hunt tomorrow and thought I'd make all the little bunny rabbits that will be there a fun little treat.

First you make a GARGANTUOUS (yes, that's a real word in my house) bowl of rice krispie treats.  But make sure you add orange food coloring to the melted marshmallows before you dump them in the rice krispies.  Oh, and you have to make sure you have some of these awesome Wilton decorating bags, too.

Then you take a butter knife and jam a tiny amount down into the very tip of the bag, as far down as you can get it to go.  Continue to spoon rice krispies into the bag, forming and compressing it as you go.  I actually found that it was much easier to use the knife, than the spoon, to put it in the bag.  It was easier to get it in that way.  The spoon held onto the sticky mixture too well.

Then you tie your bag off with some green curly ribbon and VIOLA!  You're done and have a bunch of cute, sweet, crunchy, ooey, gooey carrots! 

P.S.  If you really want to make these but don't have the time (or patience) for this sticky mess, you can fill the bags with cheetos. Crunchy ones work best because they're smaller than the puffs.
