Delicious Easter Peeps Recipes
Peeps are popular for Easter, but they make them for Valentine’s Day and Halloween, too – so there are lots of great things that you can do with them that are perfect for dessert recipes!
One of my favorite things to do is to put two peeps in the microwave with toothpicks sticking out of them. It makes a marshmallow mess, but Peep jousting is a hilarious explosion of colored sugar and marshmallow! You can make s’mores out of the jousted marshmallows after.
Peeps Easter Dirt Cake
Layer pudding, crushed chocolate cookies, shredded coconut that is dyed green, and colorful Peeps to make a fun treat that looks like an Easter garden! Add jelly beans and chocolate eggs for an extra festive touch.
You can also make dirt cake into dirt cups!
Peeps Rice Krispie Treats
A pastel twist on the classic! Melt down those Peeps and mix them with Rice Krispies for a bright, gooey bar that kids (and adults) will love.
You can also STUFF Rice Krispies treats with Peeps!
Peeps S’mores Dip
Layer chocolate and Peeps in a baking dish and bake until melty to make the perfect dessert – a colorful Peep dip.. Serve with graham crackers for dipping—it’s like s’mores, but gooey and has such pretty pastel colors!
