Hello!
Are you ready for Easter?? If not and your looking for a quick tag (or two) for an Easter Basket you've come to the right place!
I decided not to make Easter cards for my boys this year but rather a gift tag to distinguish whose basket is whose. The best part is that each tag only took approximately 10 minutes to make with minimal supplies (gotta love that!)

So now that your tags are made, do you need a quick and tasty treat to add to your baskets? Check these "carrots" out! I made them for my son's Pre-Kindergarten class and I think its safe to say they were a hit! Who knew kids could get excited about eating their Veggies (HAHAHA)
I figured everyone loves Rice Krispy treats and they're the perfect go to when you don't have tons of time!
Before I started making the treats I dyed Popsicle sticks in Green food coloring and water; letting them soak in a dish for about an hour - they came out just the right shade of green for my "carrot" stems!
I made a standard size batch of Rice Krispy treats and just mixed in Orange food coloring before stirring in the cereal. I then pressed everything onto a cookie sheet and let set up for about an hour before cutting. To cut evenly I divided the pan into 1/3's then just cut triangles into each of the 1/3's. I ended up with approximately 24 "carrots".
To finish the carrots off I pushed a dyed popsicle stick into the top of each carrot and then drizzled melted Orange Chocolate over each of them. I wrapped each carrot individually for ease of giving in a small sandwich bag, added a ribbon with a tag with a stamped sentiment and Viola! The perfect Easter Treat!
I hope you all have a wonderful Easter, I'll see you back here next week!
