....so as i've been doing my "research" for some awesome spring and easter ideas....it's painfully clear that people either love marshmallow peeps or they absolutely despise them....
...i am clearly on the "love 'em" end of the spectrum....in fact i actually love them stale....open a package and leave them open for a couple weeks on the counter....Awe.Some.Ness....ok, don't knock it til you've tried it....in fact i bet you'll never eat fresh peeps again...but i digress...
....peep pops have been all over the blogging world lately.....and they were too easy not to try....melted candy wafers, sprinkles, and some peeps on a stick...what's not to love?....you can make a bunch in no time at all....
....nuke some vanilla candy melts in a bowl (deep enough for dipping)...pop a peep on a stick (i prefer the bunnies over chicks for some reason....not sure why...i just do)...dip, tap off excess, and lay on parchment or wax paper...
...immediately top with your favorite sprinkles (btw-an excellent way to use all the different sprinkles and decorations you always collect and never use!).....and let harden....give them about 10-15 minutes....
...in fact they were so easy that i also made them in chocolate.....
....and for the star wars fanatics in our house (i'm sure there are a couple of you out there as well)...."peep" troopers!...yep peep trooper pops...!
...these are not the peeps you are looking for.....(bonus points if you can name all the troopers representin' here...)
....and just for fun...."peep" trooper cupcakes...! make these cupcakes, you will, yessss....
...oh and if you are not a star wars fan....i'm very sorry, the last few parts of this post probably make no sense whatsoever (in fact you are probably thinking--"i must un-follow this blog immediately--crazy chic does terrible things to marshmallow peeps!")....but if you are a star wars fan...virtual high-5!
....anyway hope you are enjoying spring and all the awesome treat's its inspiring....as fyi, peeps also makes chocolate covered chicks and peep peepsters (bite sized chocolate covered marshmallows) now....but really these are so super simple and pretty much everyone but those peep haters will enjoy them...!
They're all adorable! My son would love the trooper pops but I'm partial to the cocoa peeps. (:
