Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 5 corn crispy treats
- 1 bag orange candy melts
Additional Decorative Elements:
- Green sprinkles (optional)
Coating and Finishing:
- Cooking spray (for easy handling)
Instructions
- Transform rectangular rice crispy treats into triangular carrot-like shapes by carefully cutting with a sharp knife, ensuring uniform dimensions.
- Select a microwave-safe ceramic bowl and gently melt orange candy melts, stirring thoroughly at 30-second intervals to prevent burning and achieve a silky, uniform texture.
- Using clean kitchen tongs or a dipping fork, submerge each triangular rice crispy treat completely into the warm, liquid orange candy coating, allowing excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
- Methodically transfer the fully coated treats onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly to prevent touching and maintain their distinct carrot-like silhouette.
- Place the chocolate-covered treats inside the refrigerator for approximately 25-35 minutes, or until the orange candy coating becomes completely firm and develops a glossy, smooth finish.
