If you are looking for Easter rice krispie treats, these carrot krispies are so easy to make – and everyone loves them! Enjoy this holiday sweet.
Every holiday has its own special meaning that I believe is important to celebrate with friends and family.
Having said that, every holiday also has its own set of delicious, themed sweets – which I also think is important to celebrate! This particular recipe, carrot krispies, is one of my favorite Easter dessert recipes.
Because aren’t they cute?
Oh, and let me also mention – they are incredibly easy to make. You’ll use pre-packaged Rice Krispie treats, unless you prefer homemade and want to make those as well.
I’m presenting you with a shortcut so that you have a delicious Easter dessert in minutes. A treat that adults and kids alike will adore.
When people see food that looks like carrots, they squeal. Try these and you’ll see!
Ingredients
- Rice Krispie treats – either pre-packaged or homemade
- 1 c. orange candy melts
- 1/2 c. green candy melts
- 1 tablespoon and 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil
- Green licorice and jellybeans OR lollipops (or both)
Other Supplies
- Parchment paper
- Fork
- Microwave safe bowl
If you don’t want to make the stems with green candy melts, simply grab a lollipop stick and poke a hole in the top and wiggle it around a little. This saves you a lot of work and it’s an extra bonus for the kiddos.
Once you are all done, set in fridge for a few minutes. Enjoy right away or save for an Easter party date!
I’m loving how these turned out! These are not only a fun Easter treat, but they’re also just a good activity for the family during the holiday.

Carrot Rice Krispie Treats
If you are looking for tasty and fun Easter dessert recipes, these carrot krispies are so easy to make - and everyone loves them! Enjoy this holiday sweet.
Ingredients
- Rice Krispie treats - either pre-packaged or homemade
- 1 c. orange candy melts
- 1/2 c. green candy melts
- 1 tablespoon and 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil
- Green licorice and jellybeans OR lollipops (or both, optional)
Instructions
- Start by cutting your Rice Krispie treats in half on the diagonal so they are triangles. Place aside.
- Put orange candy wafers in a bowl and add in a tablespoon of coconut oil. Place in microwave for 15 seconds. Take out, stir completely. Place back in for another 15 seconds. Repeat until it is smooth (time could vary depending on your microwave).
- Grab a Rice Krispie treat and dip it in the orange candy mixture until it is almost covering the entire treat. Use your fork to help keep your fingers clean.
- Place on parchment paper. Drag the fork along the treat sideways, making lines that resemble the lines on a carrot.
- Repeat with all treats. Let harden in the fridge for about 5 minutes.
- To add the carrot stem, melt the green candy wafers as you did the orange. Create a hole in the top of the treat.
- Place some melted candy wafer into the hole. Place two pieces of green licorice into the top (about 1 1/2 inches long). Add the jellybean on top. Place on parchment paper and let harden before serving.

These are so fun! My son doesn't like rice krispies which is DISAPPOINTING, but I guess I just get to eat these on my own.
