Hot, cross bunnies: The s'moral of the story

 
 

 

Just in case you haven't been out lately, I'll prepare you for what you'll see in the grocery stores: lots and lots of Peeps, sugar-coated marshmallow chicks and bunnies in colors from a pink worthy of a Mary Kay rep's Cadillac to intense neon yellows, reds and oranges. I love Peeps in all their forms and look forward each spring to sacrificing a few peeps for the ultimate s'more.

Peeps S'mores

1. Layer graham crackers, chocolate bar (I used Green & Black's Organic Milk Chocolate Toffee Bar), peep. Place on paper plate or microwave-safe plate.

2. Microwave for 12 seconds, no need to cover. YMMV (your microwave may vary)

3. Top with second cracker, squish and enjoy.

The s'moral of the story: Mmmmmmmmmm!








Peeps have a fun website - http://www.marshmallowpeeps.com/ and, of course, a Facebook page.
 What's your favorite Peep? Do you cook with Peeps?

I can't believe it's time for peeps! I love the last photo - the surviving bunnies surveying the carnage...

You bunny crusher, you! You should be ashamed -- between bites of deliciously melted marshmallow, chocolate and graham cracker -- just so ashamed!

Peeps! They're my all-time favorites. I love the idea of adding them to s'mores.

I can't eat Peeps, but I gotta feel sorry for those little bunnies...

This cracks me up. Hadn't thought of Little Rabbit Foo-Foo in years! My sister-in-law, mommy to be beloved nine year old nephew, hates peeps. So naturally, I buy tons for the nephew! Giggles
