What would a holiday be without a marshmallow peep post from me? I seriously don’t think I can let a holiday pass now without creating some sort of marshmallowy yumminess. Scratch that. My kiddos won’t let a holiday pass without requesting a marshmallow treat. They are so spoiled…and hyped on sugar. For this treat you will need some peeps, melted chocolate chips, and some sprinkles or jimmies (depending on what part of the country you are from :).
Pour about 3/4 C of chocolate chips in a microwaveable bowl and add 2 teaspoons of shortening or veggie oil. (This helps the chocolate set-up and look smooth and pretty. It doesn’t change the taste of the chocolate.) Melt the chips in the microwave at 30 second increments and stir with a spatula. Once the chocolate is all smooth and delicious, allow your chicks to swim in the chocolate pool two by two.
Once your chicks have had their chocolate bath, dip them in some sprinkles. (I bought my little tub of sprinkles at Target’s dollar spot.)
Place the chicks on a sheet of waxed paper and pop in the freezer for a few minutes until set. Place them on a pretty plate and admire. You’re done!
Love birds lovely enough to eat.
These birdies would be cute packaged in cello and tied with a bow. If I can keep my self family from eating them all, I might just do that and distribute them to neighbors! Let me know if you make some.
Don’t forget that the Show Me Your Shoes Party is scheduled for this Thursday.

Mary Beth @ Live. Laugh. Make Something says
How C.U.T.E.!!! Thanks for sharing this wonderful idea!
sbs99 says
So I'm assuming that since they come in packs of five…and you are dipping them in twos… you each get to taste at least one before they "fly" out the door to your neighbors. 🙂 Very cute Easter treat to make with the kids. Thank you!
MommaKiss says
Ok, I'm not a fan of peeps, but all that chocolate may just make me house some! Yum!

Amy says
This is so cute! Pairing up the Peeps like that makes them look like fun pairs of slippers. Peeps slippers–the next million dollar idea??
I'm hoping that the fact that you are posting about brightly colored, chocolate-dipped, rainbow-sprinkled marshmallow chicks is an indicator that you're starting to feel at least a little bit better 🙂 Sending healing thoughts your way.
Christine says
What a great idea!! Everything looks so cute!
Jessi says
These look yummy! And my 3 year old son wants them now. 😉
Sandra says
I have loved peeps forever and the only thing that could make them better would be chocolate and sprinkles…I love marshmellows too!
Angie says
OMG! Those are incredible! I'm doing it!
My hubby introduced my 21 month old to peeps recently and now when she sees them in the store, she says something that sounds like, "Peese, peese." Comes out sounding a little like a not so nice word! LOL Such a cute idea!
Kim says
My tummy is growling! Chocolate-Marshmallowy-Goodness!!!!! And oh so colorful too. I can't wait to make this for the kiddos.
Natalie Catherine says
