Peeps Cereal Treats
Do you need a kid-friendly Easter treat? Try our Peeps cereal treats! In this easy to make, kid-friendly recipe, you’ll replace the traditional bagged marshmallows with Peeps.
To make, melt your Peeps marshmallow candy in a small saucepan over low heat. Mix in a little bit of butter (just a bit!) and crispy rice cereal. Once mixed, pour the hot treat mixture into cupcake liners. This is such a fun and colorful twist on a classic dessert. Once the treats are set, you’re ready to party! We love classic pink Peeps in this twist on classic cereal treats - they add a pop of color to any Easter table.
Dress Up Peeps
If your kids love being creative, you can also use Peeps in a fun Easter party craft. Start by grabbing a package of Peeps and some popsicle sticks. Place a Peep at the top of each stick and set aside. Then, mix up a batch of icing (or you can shortcut by buying an icing writer at your local market). Make sure the icing is nice and stiff - we’ll be using it to decorate!
Use your set icing to draw hats, dresses, or patterns on each Peep. You can even make tiny paper party hats and attach them to toothpicks to be added to each Peep candy. These yellow rabbit Peeps are great for this craft.
In preparing for these recipes and crafts, make sure to buy your Peeps marshmallow candy in bulk, so you’ll have plenty of fun to go around this Easter!
