Sweet Easter Peep Recipes

Easter Peeps. Who doesn’t absolutely adore the gooey marshmallow treats bathed in a colorful sugar coat? Ok, so there are probably plenty of you who can’t stomach the super-sweet treats. But, if you share my love for the chicks and bunnies (or, more likely, your child does) let’s take a look at a few fun recipes.

I use the word ‘recipes’ loosely here. After all, we are talking about Easter Peeps. Recently I made over-stacked s’mores and chocolate crème-filled egg cupcakes with the marshmallow candy. The little treats that I’m about to outline couldn’t be easier not to bake. Your preschooler or young child can create these sprinkle-dipped goodies with very little help from you.
