I have a bunch of Peeps on hand so I thought I would get creative this week and surprise the kids. While they were visiting their great grandparents for the day, mom was at home making them some pretty Peeps Chics in nests made out of rice crispie treats along with some Whopper Robin Eggs.
These are pretty easy to make. First you are going to make some Rice Krispie Treats. You can find the directions on the back of the marshmallow packages. Basically if you never made them, you just need the cereal, marshmallows and a little butter. I made half a batch since I only wanted to create 8 of them. Once you got your Rice Krispie Treat mixture made, put equal amounts into a muffin tin.
Once in the muffin tins you will want to let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes. Once cooled, remove from tin and use fingers to create a nest.
Next use some green frosting and make some grass in the nest. I only used a little bit of frosting because once I add the Peeps, they are going to have enough sugar.
Next is the fun part. Add the eggs and add your Peeps Chick.
I like that there are so many colorful peeps that you can make an pretty tray of these pretty Peeps Chicks in their nests.
