Recipe: Easter Bunny Bites {Rice Krispie Treat Carrots}

Recipe: Easter Bunny Bites {Rice Krispie Treat Carrots}

Summary: Aren’t these cute? This is part recipe, part craft project but definitely easy! Rice Krispie treats, or Rice Bubble Treats for us Aussies, are not something I grew up with but I’m sure children will love them! I really wanted mine to be bright orange and I did use an unholy amount of food dye in these, even though Mr Ask has worked some magic on this pic, they are this orange (see un edited pics below). I couldn’t find plain white marshmallows so I used the white and pink ones, which give you a pinky orange colour on their own. I added Wilton’s gel colours in copper and golden yellow to get this bright orange colour, in fact the marshmallow mix was quite a bit brighter because I knew the rice bubble would suck up colour. Feel free to use as little or as much dye as you like but remember it will stain so no wearing fancy clothes and be careful of light benches etc. This uses 4 disposable piping bags from the supermarket. I won’t lie, there’s a knack to getting the gooey mix in there! I used my method of putting the piping bag in a glass (this vid shows you what I mean), then once I had a good scoop in, I squished everything down to the tip of the bag. From there it’s add, squish until full enough. We used only two sheets of tissue paper from the local cheap shop and about 3-4mtrs of craft ribbon. There are some pics at the bottom that show how we assembled everything. This makes 4 carrots, if you wanted to make more, I would suggest making multiple batches rather than doubling the mix, it starts to set a bit towards the end. I think these are a super cute Easter treat that is nice and easy to make. Mummy Ask says I would have gone nuts over these as a child!

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 380g marshmallows
  • 5 cups rice bubbles
  • Food colour
  • 4 clear plastic piping bags
  • 2 sheets green tissue paper
  • 4 rubber bands
  • Sticky tape
  • Green ribbon

Instructions

  1. Add the butter to a large, heavy based saucepan on low/medium heat. Once the butter melts, add the marshmallows and stir constantly with a silicon spoon or spatula.
  2. Once most of the marshmallows have melted, add the food colouring a little at a time until your desired colour is reached. Remember it will lighten off once you add the rice bubbles.
  3. When the marshmallows are completely melted, add the rice bubbles and stir well to combine. Allow to cool for a minute or two (not too long, or it will start to set!) before spooning into the piping bags.
  4. Once the ‘carrots’ have cooled completely, tie a rubber band around the top of the piping bag. Trim down the bag, add tissue paper leaves and attach them to the carrots with sticky tape. Add a ribbon bow and you’re ready to go!
