Orange Sugar Wafer Cookies (1 wafer makes 2 cookies)
Lime Flavored Tootsie Rolls (1 Tootsie Roll makes three carrot tops)
Orange Wilton Candy Melts
Oreo cookies for the dirt (optional)
Instructions
Using a bread knife, carefully saw and cut the wafer cookies as shown. You can make two carrots out of 1 cookie. Discard scraps (or save them to nibble on later!)
Working with 1-2 tootsie rolls at a time, place them (with wrapper on) into the microwave. Microwave for 5-10 seconds until soft. Unroll tootsie roll and using a sharp knife, cut the roll into three sections.
Mold the small section into a cylinder shape.
Make two cuts in each cylinder shape to create three carrot leaves.
Using your fingers, and working quickly, shape the tootsie rolls into carrot tops. Flatten bottoms on a counter top. Set aside to re-harden.
In one corner of a Ziploc bag, place 10 orange candy melts. Microwave on 50% power for 60 seconds or until candy is melted. Cut a small opening in the corner of the bag to create a writing tip.
Squeeze a liberal amount of candy melts across the top of the carrot. Set the green top in the candy and hold for a few seconds until set. Lay on a flat surface to completely harden.
Serve on a plate of crushed chocolate cookies.
