These turned out very cute! These aren't just for the kids. I made these to take to work at Easter-time (all adults). I displayed them in a large basket as suggested and it looked great. Everyone loved them.

I saw this project elsewhere on the web and made a version by sewing a plastic freezer bag (I posted a tutorial at http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/easter_bunny_carrots) as I only needed 4 "carrots for my son's Easter Basket, but can vouch that this is a great alternative to all to filling an Easter basket with candy and was a hit with my son.

My sister asked me to make something special to bring to my little nieces birthday party. I made Recipe #163034 for the kids and adults, but I wanted something special for the kids to take home, so I made these. I filled them with M&M's and they were a HUGE HIT!!! They are NOT just an Easter idea after all :)

What a wonderful idea! These were a big hit in our house. We had lots of fun making these and those who received them were thrilled. I love the idea from little_wing of making the carrots out of a variety of orange foods! We will try that next year. Thanks for the fun idea!
