Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 cups mini marshmallows
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 teaspoon orange gel food coloring
- 12 sticks pretzel sticks
- 4 ounces green candy melts
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
Once melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth.
Remove the pot from heat and immediately stir in the orange gel food coloring until the mixture is evenly colored.
Gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal, ensuring that all the cereal is coated in the marshmallow mixture.
Let the mixture cool slightly for 1-2 minutes, then lightly grease your hands with cooking spray and shape the mixture into carrot-like cone shapes.
Insert a pretzel stick into the top of each cone to serve as the carrot stem and place the treats onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool completely.
While the treats are cooling, melt the green candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Mix in the vegetable oil for easier dipping.
Dip the ends of each pretzel stick into the melted green candy and use a fork or toothpick to create leafy texture if desired.
Allow the green candy to set at room temperature or place treats in the refrigerator for faster cooling.
Serve your Peter Rabbit Carrots Rice Krispies Treats at room temperature and enjoy!
