Pet Peeps
An edible Pet Peep for Easter. Pet Peeps are housed in a graham cracker bowl habitat and enclosed with a clear surrounding.
Equipment
- Plastic sandwich baggie
- Scissors
- Microwave safe bowl
- Spoon
Ingredients
- Mini graham cracker pie crusts
- Clear cocktail cups or clear plastic cups. These come in a few different sizes, so pick ones that will match the circumference of the pie crusts.
- Candy melts in desired colors
- Peeps in desired colors
Instructions
- Melt the candy melts according to the instructions on the package (usually using a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals).
- Put 2 spoonfuls of melted candy into the pie crust
- Put the rest of 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.
- Place a Peep in the middle and hold it in place for a few seconds. The melted candy will eventually harden and keep the Peep in place.
- Pipe a little bit of melted candies along the edges of the graham cracker pie crusts
- Add the clear plastic cup on top of the pie crust. The melted candy will harden to keep the cup in place.
Notes
It would also be cute to add some jelly beans or candy eggs inside the pie crust. Be creative making the Peep habitat and, most of all, have fun!
