These seem to be all the rage this week. I have seen them all over the internet and Pinterest and I can see why, they are super cute and for someone like me that does not like to bake… this is perfect! It would be a great project for kids too!
I saw a great S’mores version that is also so sweet over on plainchicken.com. Check them out!
INGREDIENTS
One box of bunny Peeps
1 bag of Ghirardelli melting chips (found in the baking aisle)
Mini marshmallows, sliced in half
Pink sprinkles
Colored straws (cut down to size) OR baking sticks
Wax paper
That is what I used but use your imagination and whatever you may have in your baking cabinet.
NOTE: If you are using colored straws like I did, be sure to push the straws about 3/4 of the way up through the bunny as the straws can be a little flimsy when you melt them in chocolate.
DIRECTIONS
Line a baking sheet with wax paper.
Get all of your sprinkles and mini marshmallows ready to go.
Cut the straws so they are about 5 -6 inches long. Make sure you cut off the part that bends. Place one straw at a time up through each of the bunnies, if using straws be sure the straws go about 3/4 of the way up the bunny.
Melt the chocolate. Dip one bunny at a time in the chocolate, let the excess chocolate drip off. Place a mini marshmallow on one side of the bunny (where the tail would be ). Place on wax paper with the marshmallow side DOWN. Do this for each of the bunnies. Sprinkle the pink sprinkles over all of the ears.
Decorate anyway that makes you happy!
Place in the refrigerator to set the chocolate.
To display or give as a gift you can wrap each one individually in cellophane bags and tie with ribbon OR you could place a piece of styrofoam in a container adding Easter grass on top of that and insert the straws into the bowl or basket so they stand up nicely!
Enjoy,
