Easter is full of themed treats mostly egg-shaped. Egg shaped chocolate, cream-filled eggs, bubble gum, and malt balls all themed for Easter. Then there is one treat that goes hand in hand with Easter, Peeps. These candies are a very sweet treat shaped like bunnies or Easter chicks. There are so many ways to take an ordinary Peep and elevate it to a fancy dessert. Use them to make fancy cupcakes, or meld them with krispie cereal to make some awesome rice treats. The limits to making a Peeps inspired dessert are endless all you need is a little imagination. Beyond a dessert, you can use Peeps to make some beautiful Peeps crafts for kids.
Peeps crafts and desserts are both great additions to your Easter traditions.
