Easter is very early this year! It feels like it will be here before we know it. In our family I have 3 sisters, so we usually rotate who will host Easter dinner. This year I get to do it. It is the first time in many years that I have lived close to my family so it is going to be a fun filled family event.
So far, we have 30 people coming over for dinner. That may sound a little overwhelming for some people, but when I was growing up, our house was the family holiday house. Our home was filled with aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends and I loved it!
My mom use to prepare everything, but - she was super woman! Our Easter dinner will be pot luck dinner. Each person will bring 2 items to share. Im going to prepare a ham and dessert.
When I was in Walmart, I did a double take when I saw M&M's® Carrot Cake. I'm a huge fan of M&M's® and of Carrot Cake - so I had to buy them. First they were delicious. They taste just like you are eating a piece of carrot cake! I thought I would use them in a recipe I plan on making for our Easter Dinner.
Frosted Treats With M&M's® Carrot Cake
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 package (10 oz., about 40) Marshmallows
- 6 cups puffed rice cereal
- 1 16oz Jar of your favorite vanilla frosting
- 1 9.9 oz bag of M&M's® Carrot Cake
- 1 9.9 oz bag of Milk Chocolate M&M's®
Instructions:
- In large saucepan melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat.
- Add puffed rice cereal. Stir until well coated.
- Using buttered spatula or wax paper press mixture into 13 x 9 pan coated with cooking spray.
- Let cool a little bit and flip the treats on to a cookie sheet. Add the whole container of vanilla icing and spread. Cut into 15 squares.
- Now you can decorate! I used 5 orange M&M's® Carrot Cake to make the carrot and then I used 2 green Milk Chocolate M&M's® to make the stem.
Serve and enjoy!
These are a huge hit in my house - everyone loves this simple and festive looking dessert! If you need to make a dessert to bring to Easter Dinner, this simple dessert will impress everyone!
What are your plans for Easter?
Those sound delicious. I need to try some of those new M&M's!
carrot cake flavors?! how amazing is that! love M&Ms
I LOVE this! I didn't think anything could be better than Rice Krispies treats. Then you went and added frosting and M&Ms!
Love the idea . My husband loves carrot cake will have to try this.
What a fun idea to frost the crispy treats and then use the M&Ms® Carrot Cake for a fun little twist! #client
No carrot cake lovers here so I will take M&M’s with peanuts please! 🙂
There could not be a better treat on this or any other planet than frosted Rice Krispies treats topped with M&Ms. Thanks!
These look really good. I can't wait to make them. This new flavor of M&M's sound yummy. We usually do a family dinner on Easter.
What a great treat for Easter! Perfect topping for carrot cake or muffins!
I had no idea they made M&M carrot cake candies. How interesting. I need to try these just to see what they taste like.
I'm not a big carrot cake fan but my mom loves it so this may be a great surprise for her to serve at Easter! There are a ton of M&M choices now
Carrot Cake M&M's?? Sounds like a fun treat! I wonder if the kids will eat them. I might have to eat them all.
WOW, 30 people makes a large dinner party. You are going to rock it!
I haven't seen the carrot cake M&Ms! I need to find them so I can try them.
What a cool Easter idea. M&Ms make great dessert decorations. Who doesn't love rice treats!
The Carrot Cake M&M's sounded appealing enough but add frosted rice crispy treats and I'm SOLD. I can't imagine hosting 30 people for dinner, but you have a great start with this recipe.
Yum! This looks delicious! My oldest is a huge carrot cake and muffin lover so I'm sure he would LOVE this!
I had no clue there were carrot cake m&ms! My daughter will be in heaven. Carrot cake is her new love.
Easter really is so early this year. That does look like a wonderful treat.
Those treats are so cute! I may whip some up for our Easter celebrations this year! Yum!
I like this Easter dessert idea and think it looks fun to make with my niece! I did not know that there is a Carrot Cake flavor M&Ms! I will be trying these out. We are having a Pot Luck Easter dinner with the family!
I haven't tried these M&Ms yet. I must find some. I LOVE carrot cake!
I can't believe I haven't tried the carrot cake M&M's yet! I LOVE carrot cake and will be picking up a bag (or 2 or 3) the next time I go to Walmart!
I LOVE both foods!! Carrot cake is one of my favorite cakes! I've never had it with M&Ms though. Oh, but wait these are rice krispies treats with vanilla frosting & carrot cake M&Ms. Regardless, this recipe would be a hit at any function, etc. Also easy & cheap to make.
