Peeps Houses - a fun Easter craft for kids! How to make a Peeps house using vanilla wafers, sprinkles, and jelly beans.

Break apart the vanilla wafers. We used a total of 18 wafers for the Peeps House shown. 4 on each side, 4 in the back, and 6 on top of the roof.
Melt the CandiQuick or candy melts according to the instructions on the package (usually using a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals).
Put the melted candy into the corner of a sandwich baggie. This creates a homemade frosting bag for piping!
Cut a tiny piece of the corner off of the plastic baggie.
Pipe a little bit of melted chocolate along the edges of the vanilla wafers to build up the sides and back of the Peeps House. It is also a good idea to use melted chocolate to stick the Peeps House to the plate (optional).
Assemble the roof by adding melted candy to the top of the house, then leaning wafers together, and finally adding more melted candies on top.
Add jelly beans on the top of the Peeps House
Decorate the front of the house with pastel sprinkles.
Place Easter grass inside and a Peep on top!

*Note: the melted candy will harden quickly, so be ready to assemble the houses quickly too!*

CandiQuik can be reheated if it dries in the baggie to quickly.
