Peter Rabbit Carrots Rice Krispies Treats Recipes

CARROT RICE KRISPIE TREATS

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large saucepan over low heat.
• Add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until completely melted.
• Place a few drops of food coloring in the melted marshmallows and stir, adding more food coloring until you reach your desired shade.
• Add the Rice Krispies cereal, making sure to evenly coat all of the cereal with the melted marshmallow mix.
• Allow the Rice Krispies to cool for about 15 minutes (I usually transfer them to a 9x13 baking pan, it takes longer for them to cool if they remain in the warm saucepan).
• Carefully shape sections of the Rice Krispies treats into carrot shapes. I usually use about a cup of the treat mix per carrot.
• Roll and twist pieces of the fruit leather to create the green stalk of the carrot. Carefully place on top of the Rice Krispies carrot (sometimes I find it easier to sort of smush the Rice Krispies up around the fruit leather to hold it in place).
• Place the finished Rice Krispies treats on a baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper and cover with plastic wrap until ready to serve.
• Enjoy!

CLASSIC CRISPY RICE TREATS

Steps:

• Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with aluminum foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on each of the longer sides. Spray the foil lightly with cooking spray.
• Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the marshmallows and cook, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and salt.
• Working quickly, add the rice cereal to the pot and stir with a rubber spatula until evenly coated. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and press into an even, compact layer. (Spray your hands with a little cooking spray to keep them from sticking when pressing the cereal mixture into the pan). Decorate with toppings if using (see Cook's Note).
• Let sit at room temperature until firm, about 30 minutes. Cut into 24 squares. Store the cereal treats at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

BUNNEH'S BUNNY RABBIT TREATS

Steps:

• Mix pureed carrot, mashed banana and honey in a medium bowl.
• Add ground pellets and ground oats. Mix until blended.

• Place dough on large piece of parchment paper and cover with plastic wrap. Roll dough to about 1/8" thickness. Peel off plastic wrap.
• Score flattened dough with large knife in 1-inch cross sections like tiles. You're not separating the tiles, just scoring them for easy breaking apart later.
• Transfer parchment onto cookie sheet and bake at 325F for about 30-40 minutes, checking to make sure they don't over-brown.
• Turn off the oven, leaving the cookie sheet in the oven for another hour until the treats dry to crispness.
• Remove from oven and cool completely on cooling rack.
• Break the tiles apart - easy! - and store in a zip lock bag in the fridge.
• Give one to your bunny on each day that he/she is adorable. (That's every day, of course!).
