Savory and delicious, these little cheesy carrot spread appetizers are a perfect bite-size appetizer for Easter. Shredded carrots and cheddar cheese combine with cream cheese to create a pale orange-colored mixture. Pipe the cheese mixture onto Town House Crackers to look like carrots and top with a sprig of parsley to make these look adorable.
To save time, the cheese mixture can be made the day before and refrigerated overnight. Then, take it out of the fridge and allow it to come up to room temperature before piping it onto the Townhouse crackers.
The red pepper gives them a little heat and the Town House crackers are the perfect addition. The kids love the look of the carrot on the crackers. If they ask if they are supposed to eat the parsley, tell them to eat the parsley end first. They will be surprised at how good they taste. These disappear in no time at my house.
