Chocolate Covered Sprinkled Peeps

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.

I will be having a giveaway worth $200 coming up, and those who post are automatically entered!

  2. Awww!! Too cute to eat! You always do the CUTEST things! I haven't been out on the blogs lately 🙁 but I hope to again.

    Also, I have a favor to ask: I'm trying to win a party contest and would love your help! Would you go here: http://thecitycradle.com/party-3-spy-agent and leave a comment at the end of the article? Your comment will give me a vote. Thanks so much! I appreciate it lots. <3

  3. OM goodness, how did I miss this post yesterday! Drooling on computer-so delish looking!

  4. Okay I never knew peeps could be any better than they are. You did it you made them better! hope drool doesn't ruin my keyboard!

  11. Thank a lot you just killed my no candy Easter. LOL, now I just have to have some Peeps.

  12. mmmhmmmm. I love mashmallow peeps. I may have to go and get me a package and make these.

  13. yummy! my grandson, henry, & i are drooling right now looking at your "embellished" peeps.

    i absolutely have to make these for Easter.

    i'm diabetic & my peep eating days are over but when i COULD eat them, i ate them like crazy! my inlaws even sent me 2 cases because i loved them so much. last year i tried the sugar-free. they are gross.

  15. 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!

  16. Ok, I'm not a fan of peeps, but all that chocolate may just make me house some! Yum!

    I'm working on the shoe post. Hope I remember to get enough pictures 😛

  17. These are too darn cute, Beth! I love the extra touch of the chocolate and sprinkles…nothing better than choco and mallow! Mmm, yummy!!!

    Blessings, Grace

    I guess I'll go buy some more. I have to get chocolate chips anyway.

  33. Cute idea! I think I might do this for church.I must be the weird one because I do not like peeps.I do think that they are adorable though! lol How cute to put them in a choc. coconut nest or some kind of candy nest.Then you can eat everything!! lol

    Natalie,

  34. I have been racking my brain for a traditional yet unique (do those even go together, today I say yes!) little thing to do for my daycare! Awesome I idea! THANKS!!!

  35. I LOVE peeps. LOVE. These, I will have to make. I"m pregnant and chocolate and peeps just seem like they were MADE for me!

  38. 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.

  41. I have loved peeps forever and the only thing that could make them better would be chocolate and sprinkles…I love marshmellows too!

  42. 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!

  43. My tummy is growling! Chocolate-Marshmallowy-Goodness!!!!! And oh so colorful too. I can't wait to make this for the kiddos.

  44. wow these look awesome! i think i might pretend this easter that i'm making them for sophia…hehe. how cute.
