Easter Carrots
Easter for our family means lots of kids, food, church and of course a visit from the Easter Bunny. But when our daughter Liz was little we vowed to do more fun things with less sugar filled candy each year. So the Easter Bunny had to get creative and as the list of kids (nieces, nephews, and friends) started growing so did our shopping list. So we learned along the way that my siblings and I each had to bring enough treats for all of the kids. So on average you are in charge of 13 “presents” for the Easter Bunny to deliver. So we get creative and year after year the Easter bunny brings lots of goodies as well as unique gifts.
Some of them include bubbles, big bouncy balls, carrots, Easter Eggs filled with money, fresh strawberries, movies, cars, silly string and any dollar item we can pick up. The kids all have a wonderful time playing with their goodies and the parents are always happy that the Easter Bunny delivered a little candy as opposed to baskets full of the sugary goodness. So this year I’m bringing Easter Carrots for my Easter Bunny contribution. They are easy to make, adorable and of course will be a hit with the kids. Who can turn down cheesey crackers no matter what their shape is!

We have a lot of kids come over as well and of course, they rarely like the food that’s available so snacks are a must. These would be perfect! Thanks for linking up with Delicious Dishes Recipe Party!

I love these! I’ve been looking for ideas of things to add to my niece and nephews Easter baskets. This is perfect! Not chocolate (not that there won’t also be chocolate!), not too expensive and totally adorable! Thanks for sharing!
