Instructions
- Line a 9×13 pan with parchment paper.
- Melt butter in a large pot on medium-low heat. Add 1 ½ bags of mini marshmallows to the melted butter and set the remaining marshmallows aside.
- Stir continuously until the marshmallows have completely melted while keeping the heat on low.
- Remove the pot from heat and mix in vanilla, salt, and food coloring until desired color is achieved.

- Transfer the treat onto a cutting board using the parchment paper and cut into 8 equal sections, then shape into triangles resembling carrots.
- Melt green candy melts in a bowl in 30-second increments and stir.
- Pipe 12 v-shaped stems on parchment paper and refrigerate for 10 minutes to harden.
- Flip the rice krispy treats and cut them into 6 carrot-shaped triangles.
- Melt orange candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl and drizzle over the carrot shapes. Add sprinkles while the candy is still soft.
- Attach the green stems to the top of each carrot with orange candy melts. Allow to set for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Ensure that the butter is fully melted before adding marshmallows for an even mixture.
