1. Peep Krispy Treats
You simply can not have a list of marshmallow treats without including Rice Krispies treats! I like the inclusion of the white chocolate in these, and the bunny shape is just too perfect for its holiday!
2. Easter Egg Shots
This one is for the grown-ups. After all your time spent painting Easter eggs, hiding chocolates, and baking away with Peeps, you deserve a little boozy reward. You don’t actually use the Peep in the shot itself, but the cotton candy vodka gives it a familiar taste; Smirnoff fluffed marshmallow vodka works even better. And I must say, the presentation is utterly spectacular.
3. Marshmallow Yogurt Tart
This tart looks freaking amazing, and I like to think that since it uses yogurt instead of cream, it’s that little bit healthier. It just takes about 20 minutes to throw together, and there is a lot of room for customization; I think a few berries on top would finish it off perfectly.
4. Peep Nest Cookies
These chocolate coconut nests are perfect, and when you add your Peep chicks on top, your heart will melt quicker than a Peep in the oven! You do’ necessarily have to melt or squash your Peep in order to create something incredible; sometimes, you can just pop one on top of a fabulous nest cookie for some fun.
5. Peepy Popcorn
Sticky, gooey, sweet, colorful popcorn? Sign me up immediately! This snack is a cinch to make, just please make sure that you make your popcorn the right way (on the stove – no chemical-laced microwave stuff!). I love the flavor combination of salt and sweet, so I’d actually add some powdered salt before pouring over the Peep liquid. It’s like Rice Krispies treats but with popcorn! Pure bliss.
6. Peeps in a Blanket Easter Brownies
These Peeps in a Blanket Easter Brownies are a chewy, chocolatey Easter treat topped with adorable bunny Peeps! Dipped in melted chocolate and finished with festive sprinkles, they're as cute as they are delicious—perfect for springtime celebrations!
7. Chocolate Peanut Butter Peeps Skillet S’mores!
This is bliss taken to the next level: gooey Chocolate Peanut Butter PEEPS Skillet S’mores bubbling under a layer of melted marshmallow magic. No fire pit? No problem — just pop it in the oven and dive in with a spoon. Warning: You may never go back to regular s’mores again.
8. Peep-Topped Cupcakes
This is a stroke of pure genius: instead of making that plain old sugar icing, or wasting time with cream cheese frosting, just pop a Peep on top of your cupcake for a perfectly colorful and Easter-tasting treat.
9. Peep Milkshake
The thing that makes this milkshake more than just a regular old marshmallow milkshake is the toasting of the Peeps. It adds an extra element of goodness to the thick and creamy drink, making it the yummiest Easter shake.
10. Peep-Choc Cookies
I’m sure we can all agree that choc chip cookies are an adored classic. Because of this, they act as a great starting point: you can add nuts, M&M’s, peanut butter… or marshmallows! Wrap the dough around the whole Peep so that the hungry mouths get a lovely surprise as soon as they bite into it.
