Graham Cracker Carrot Garden Snack

Pin to Pinterest

Whether you have a Winnie the Pooh party in Hundred Acre Wood or you are looking for a fun Easter Food Craft for the kids, this is such a fun garden snack for children. We used fun gummy carrots and created a chocolate cracker of goodness – because who said your veggie’s can’t include chocolate!?!

Ingredients:

Graham crackers
Gummy carrots – we got ours HERE
OREOs
1 Cup light cocoa candy melts
optional: orange icing – use THIS to create orange*
optional: edible Easter grass*

*Note, we picked up gummy carrots from HERE but you could also make your own carrots using an icing bag with orange icing and Easter grass as the topper.

Directions:

In a microwave safe dish, melt your candy melts on 50% power, stirring every 30 seconds until melted.
Scrape the white center from about 10 OREOs, place your chocolate cookies into a sandwich bag, seal the bag, and crush the cookies with the back of a spoon.
Add a teaspoon of your melted chocolate to each graham cracker and spread evenly.
Sprinkle your crushed cookies on your melted chocolate.
Top each graham cracker off with 3 gummy carrots, let the chocolate harden, and enjoy!
Optional: If choosing to using icing (over gummy carrots) lay your orange icing across each cracker is three 1 inch sections. Add edible Easter grass to the top.

Bunny Easter Craft for Kids

We had such a fun time creating these easy and quick bunny Easter crafts for kids. The steps are simple and you likely already have the craft supplies in your home!

Supplies:

Directions:

Draw a bunny head onto your cardboard by starting with the ears, sides of the face, and bottom of the face for an even shape on all sides. You can even use a bunny shaped cookie cutter to trace your cardboard if necessary.
Cut out your bunny with scissors.
Carefully hot glue your end piece of yarn to the back of the bunny’s head and begin wrapping the yarn around the cardboard.
Keep wrapping every which way until your cardboard is completely covered in white yarn.
Once your cardboard bunny is wrapped, cut the yarn, and secure the end of the yarn to the back of the bunny with glue.
Glue your pink Pom-Pom ball to the bottom center of the bunny’s face for the nose and 2 googly eyes right above that.
Cut 6-3″ pieces from your pink pipe cleaner, twist the ends of 3 pieces together to make whiskers, and glue the ends on each side of the Pom-Pom nose.

Chocolate Dipped Cookie Dough Bites

Pin to Pinterest

I am incredibly guilty. If there was a self-help group for eating chunks of cookie dough, I would be a member. This yummy recipe includes a few of my favorites in chocolate chip cookies – brown sugar, butter, vanilla and NO EGGS! You will be happy to delcare this as your family’s favorite cookie recipe!

Note: For Easter, we shapped these into Eggs!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup Brown Sugar
2/3 cup Flour
1/4 cup Chocolate Chips
4 tbsp softened Butter
2 tbsp Milk
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Vanilla
8 oz Chocolate Dipping Candy

Directions:

Line a tray with parchment or wax paper.
Heat flour in microwave for 2 minutes (internal temp 160). Careful you do not burn it.
Mix together brown sugar, butter, vanilla and salt until well mixed.
Add in milk and gradually add flour until desired dough consistensy is reached.
Stir in chocolate chips.
For Easter, we chose to form these into egg shapes (you can do another shape like circles.)
Place in freezer for at least 30 minutes.
Melt chocolate by microwaving for 30 seconds, stirring and repeating until melted and smooth.
Use a fork to dip each egg into chocolate, shake off excess and place on prepared tray.
Place in refrigerator until chocolate sets.

This yields about 15 smaller bites or 8 larger ones.
