Peel and grate the carrots. Beat eggs, sugar, vanilla sugar and butter until frothy. Mix flour with baking powder, sieve and stir in. Add the carrots and nuts. (If necessary dilute with milk, the dough should still be slightly runny) Stir in chocolate sprinkles or grated chocolate (as you like). Fill the dough up to about halfway into small paper cases or muffin sheets (greased and sprinkled with breadcrumbs).
Bake at 180 ° C for about 20 to 30 minutes
For the glaze: sift the powdered sugar and stir with the rum and water until smooth. (You can also leave out the rum at a children`s party). Stir in the food color according to the instructions. (I mixed red and yellow, as no orange was available )
Spread the icing on the muffins that are still slightly warm.
