**An important note about plastic bags**

Beware of the triangle shaped party bags often sold in the seasonal section of department stores as the plastics used often contain questionable endocrine disrupting (read: they mess with your hormones!) ingredients. Instead, purchase baggies made for food that are explicitly labeled to be PVC, BPA and phthalate free. I personally use the bags from Whole Food's 365 brand as they are 100% polyethelene and free of these questionable ingredients.

Directions

STEP 1: Fill the bag

Open the bag and fill it with about a half cup of crackers. Check for "carrot-iness" (totally a word!) by making sure your bag is filled to the right level to make you happy with its carroty shape. Add more crackers if needed.

STEP 2: Trim the top

Use scissors to cut the zipper top edge off the top of the bag and trim the plastic as needed.
