Peter Rabbit Carrots Rice Krispies Treats Recipes

Steps:

• Microwave 2 Tbsp. butter in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 25 sec. or until melted. Stir in dry gelatin mix. Microwave 15 sec.; mix well. Add 3 cups marshmallows; toss to evenly coat. Microwave 1-1/2 min. or until marshmallows are completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring after 45 sec. Add 3 cups cereal; mix well.
• Press cereal mixture into 6-inch circle in center of 8-inch round pan sprayed with cooking spray.
• Microwave remaining butter in separate large microwaveable bowl 25 sec. or until melted. Add remaining marshmallows; toss to coat. Microwave 1-1/2 min. or until marshmallows are completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring after 45 sec. Stir in food coloring. Add remaining cereal; mix well. Press to form rim around cereal mixture in pan. Cool completely.
• Cut cereal mixture into 12 wedges to resemble carrots. Remove from pan. Use sharp knife to cut out small notches on both sides of each carrot top to resemble photo.

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.

Steps:

• Spray two 8 or 9-inch round cake pans with nonstick cooking spray.
• Melt margarine in large saucepan over medium heat.
• Add marshmallows; cook and stir until melted.
• Remove from heat.
• Add cereal; stir until well coated.
• Divide mixture evenly into sprayed pans; press firmly with buttered rubber scraper.
• Cool 20 minutes.
• Turn cereal rounds out of pans; cut each round into 12 wedges.
• Use fingers to round curved end slightly to resemble carrot.
• Place frosting in microwave-safe measuring cup with pouring spout.
• Microwave on HIGH for 30 to 40 seconds or until pourable.
• DO NOT BOIL.
• Add red and yellow food color 1 drop at a time, mixing until frosting is of desired orange color.
• Pour frosting over carrot shapes, covering tops completely and allowing some to drizzle down sides.
• Reheat frosting as necessary to keep it pourable.
• On sugared surface, flatten gumdrop leaves with rolling pin until 1/4 inch thick.
• With knife or scissors, cut each leaf into 6 strips, keeping them attached at bottom.
• Place leaf at top of each carrot.

Steps:

• Fill each clear bag 2/3full with cheese puffs.
• Push tissue paperdown into top with tips sticking out the top.
• Tie ribbon around top nearest where the cheese puffs and tissue meet.
• Curl ends of ribbon.
• Display in basket until passing out to children.

Steps:

• Mix pureed carrot, mashed banana and honey in a medium bowl.
• Add ground pellets and ground oats. Mix until blended.
• Knead in your hands for 1-2 minutes. It'll probably be pretty sticky.
• 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!).

Steps:

• Place a small lump of margarine into a paper towel and use to grease a 13 x 9 x 2 inch pan, then wipe the pan off with a dry paper towel. This will keep the bars from sticking to the pan when they are placed on it.
• Measure margarine into saucepan; melt over low heat. Add marshmallows and cook, stirring constantly, until marshmallows are melted and mixture is very syrupy. Remove from heat.
• Add Rice Krispies cereal; stir until well-coated.
• Spread warm mixture in the greased 13 x 9 x 2 inch pan. Using waxed paper or buttered spatula press firmly into an even layer. (I normally use a butter knife to do this; dipping the knife into a glass of water occasionally will keep the Rice Krispies from sticking to it as you shove them into the pan)
• Cut into squares when cool. (This is normally about 10 minutes after placing the mixture into the pan.)
• *Flavored marshmallows (usually the ones that are green, orange, etc.) may be used to change the taste of your Treats just enough that it will be noticeable.
• **For Christmas, consider using the red and green colored Rice Krispies that normally are sold around Christmas time, to give your bars that festive holiday appearance. :-).
