Take it away Amanda!

When the challenge came up in my cubicle suite to create desserts out of Easter candy, I immediately accepted...and took the easy way out with PEEPS® Krispie Treats.

It's really just subbing in one marshmallow substance for another so it seemed like a no-brainer. Yeah, it's pretty obvious, but when I started floating the idea around, it became apparent that it's not as commonly done as one would think.

Recipe: Follow the directions on the side of the Rice Krispies®, but instead of the suggested 40 regular sized marshmallows, I used 10 yellow bunny-shaped PEEPS® and 30 regular marshmallows.

Verdict: Judging from the end result, you could probably go all-PEEPS® and it wouldn't make much of a difference. I'm not sure if you could call this a success or a PEEPS®-fail because the finished product looked and tasted just like a normal, year-round Rice Krispies Treats®. If nothing else, it's a good use for your leftover PEEPS®.
