[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]Ok so here comes another sugar comatose holiday. Well not at my house, I have come up with some healthier alternatives for this traditionally sickly sweet holiday. This one is easy as pie, or in this case maybe carrot cake. 😉 I simply take dried fruit that have an orange tinge like apricots or mangos and fill cone shaped pastry baggies, then tie off with green raffia to make carrots leaf. it doesn’t get much easier or cuter. This special healthy treat with be an adorable addition to any bunny baskets this Easter.

Do you have something else you think would look cute in these too cute baggies. Share below.

Until next time, enjoy the good life,

To do like I did, make a U out of raffia that starts where fruit finished in baggie and slighty goes past the baggie end on both U ends. Then cut about 5 to 10 more about same size, then tie off all pieces in the middle of U together. Use the tie off to secure on baggie, then pull U raffia pieces up toward top and holding in place wrap ends of securing raffia piece around till it creates a little stem and secures U raffia more sturdily to baggie, tie of in back. Enjoy! Makes little bunnies happy.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
