Supplies:

17 ounces cheese balls (Safeway $7.49)

10 small rubber bands ($ Tree $1.25)

1 bag Easter grass ($ Tree $1.25)

10 disposable icing bags ($ Tree $1.25)

ribbon (2 rolls ~ $ Tree $2.50)

scissors

a small jar or drinking glass

1/2 cup measuring cup

Instructions:

Open an icing bag and place inside of a jar or 

glass for support. Fill with cheese balls, 

leaving the top 1 1/2 inches empty. 

(about 2 cups of cheese balls) 

Gather 20 or more strands of Easter grass 

and fold in half. Put inside the top of the 

filled icing bag and secure closed with 

a rubber band. Trim the Easter grass to 

create the bushy carrot top. Cut a 10 to 12 

inch length of ribbon and tie a bow 

to cover the rubber band.

Makes 10 Cheese Ball Carrots that are perfect favors for kids parties, Easter baskets & gatherings and Harvest parties.

I purchased all of the supplies at the Dollar 

Tree, except for the cheese balls. 

(I already had ribbon, so I didn't need 

to purchase more.) 

 

The total cost to make 10 carrots was $13.75 plus tax. (Approximately $1.40 each) The total cost can be less if you find a better price for the cheese balls. (On this occasion, I only had access to a Safeway grocery store.)
