Easy Easter Carrot Snack Bags

Easy Easter Carrot Snack Bags

What you Need:

If you are looking for a fun yet fast Craft/Treat project for you and your little one to do, this is it!

My son’s attention span does not last long on projects, so this was perfect for his age. I ordered THESE snack bags that came with a variety of colored twist ties, and worked perfect! Of course you could also use ribbon, a pipe cleaner, or whatever you like. We filled our favor bags with some Goldfish Crackers we had recently purchased, but you could also use Cheese Balls if you have them and either will give you the same fun carrot look!

If you want to avoid the orange cheesy fingers, I would suggest going the Goldfish route. Candy Corn would also be an option, but seeing as my son will be taking these as a treat to his classmates, I am pretty sure his teacher would not appreciate a classroom full of sugar enhanced preschoolers.

And there you have it, Easy Easter Treats to share.

TOP SECRET:

Watermelon’s Best Slicing Secret REVEALED

Pin it HERE http://pin.it/7Ijay17

Trust me when i say that this was the quickest, easiest, simplest way to cut, clean up and put away the “leftovers” of a watermelon! I didn’t have a juice pool all over my counter, or have to intricately cut the rind “smiles” off the watermelon. CHECK THIS OUT!

What You’ll Need:

watermelon2

  • a whole watermelon
  • a sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • a medium to large bowl

Steps:

Before you start, ALWAYS wash your Watermelon! Then… to be safe, WASH IT AGAIN! The rind of melons carry bacteria like E.coli, listeria, and salmonella.

Cut your watermelon in half. “Hamburger style”

watermelon3

 

Set one half aside for a bit and turn the other half flesh side down on-to the cutting board

watermelon4

 

Trim off the rind starting from the top

Once you have cut all the rind off the melon, cut into slices “hamburger” and “hotdog” style

Place your bowl over your melon after you have finished slicing

With the help of your cutting board, turn over the bowl of melon and VOILA! Easy to serve, already to-go sliced watermelon!

Easter Cake

By Leave a Comment

Easter Cake

Ingredients

  • King Sized Kit Kat Bars
  • White Cake Mix
  • Frosting
  • Food Coloring
  • Marshmallow Peeps
  • Cadbury Chocolate Eggs
  • Chocolate Animal Candies
  • Green Crystal Sugar Sprinkles

Directions

  1. Prepare cake mix as directed and separate evenly into two bowls.  Add a few drops of food coloring of your choice to each bowl to make pastel colored cake.  Bake in round pans as directed and let cool.
  2. Frost between the 2 cake layers and then apply a generous amount of frosting around the edges of the cake.
  3. Place Kit Kat bars around the sides of the cake using the frosting to hold them in place, creating a fence around your cake.
  4. Apply green frosting to look like grass over the top of your cake.  I used Betty Crockers Cupcake Icing (it comes with all the tips you need).  After the grass is frosted on the cake, top with green crystal sugar sprinkles.
  5. Place chocolate animals and marshmallow peeps onto the top of the cake.  Arrange Cadbury chocolates to look like little easter eggs in your “fenced area”.
