Peeps Race Cars for Easter! Beep beep! These little bunnies are on the go in their Twinkie cars. Getting crafty in the kitchen is something we do best:) This Easter dessert is both crafty and tasty.

Peeps Race Cars

For the most part, kids can assemble these Twinkie bunny cars by themselves. You’ll need a knife for just one tricky part, so I recommend parents do this first. You must cut a small rectangle out of the Twinkie for the Peep and the pretzel steering wheel. I used a bread knife because the Twinkies are somewhat delicate, and the bread knife makes very clean cuts in the cake.

Supplies:

• Twinkies
• Peep marshmallows
• Fudge Dipped Oreo Thin Bites – or small cookies like mini Oreos, a small circular candy, or lifesavers
• White fudge Flipz pretzels
• Pastel Easter sprinkles
• Light corn syrup
• Candy Melts – can be substituted with frosting or melted white chocolate chips
• Sharp knife
• Zip-top baggie

Instructions:

I cut the notch slightly off-center to create a “hood” for the race car. It is large enough space to keep a Peep bunny and a pretzel in place.

To make the wheels stay in place, I used candy melts (CandyQuik also works great!). Place a little dot of white chocolate on the back of Fudge Dipped Oreo Thin Bites. The melted candy hardens quickly, making this a great job for kids! Melt the chocolate according to the package directions. Place the wheels in place on each side of the car.

To add extra color to our Peeps race cars, we added pastel sprinkles to white fudge Flipz pretzels. The trick to doing this is dabbing a tiny bit of light corn syrup with your fingertips on the front side of the pretzel, then dipping it into the sprinkles. Corn syrup is clear and sticky, which is perfect for getting sprinkles to stay in place!
