PEEPS PEEPS Glorious PEEPS! What says spring more than PEEPS? For me PEEPS is to Easter/Spring like Conversation Heart Candy is to Valentine's Day.
When Michelle of Sugar Swings! Serve Some and Christi of Love from the Oven asked if I wanted to join in on a celebration of PEEPS with a blog hop and a giveaway I was so excited!!! Plus it is the 60th anniversary of PEEPS!
So to celebrate I went straight to BJ's and bought a ginormous pack of PEEPS.
But what to do with all these PEEPS?! Seriously. There were over 40 PEEPS in that package. So I finally came up with the idea to make Rice Krispies PEEPS! I felt like a genius! Before weighing them all out to try to figure out how many would be necessary to replace regular marshmallows I did some searching online-- because I figured I couldn't have been the first genius with this idea. And I wasn't ;) I found this recipe on Serious Eats and decided to try it out!
Ingredients:
3 TBSP butter
35 PEEPS
6 cups Rice Krispies Cereal
Directions:
1. In a large pot melt butter over low heat.2. Take the PEEPS and put them in your saucepan. Continue to stir and let them melt. Don't mix the colors until you add the Rice Krispies, but do move the PEEPS around so they don't burn/stick to the bottom of the pan. Remove pot from heat once PEEPS are all melted. (I kind of jiggled them around in their own section to keep them from sticking to the pan)
3. Add Rice Krispies cereal and stir until well coated.
4. Press mixture into desired pan coated with cooking spray (I used a 13x9 inch pan)
5. Cool completely before cutting.
So I separated my PEEPS like this when melting. I kept them in their own section without mixing the colors before adding the Rice Krispies. The package of PEEPS I got from BJ's only came with these three colors, but you could use any colors you want! However I would keep it to only three colors of PEEPS. When I was mixing the Rice Krispies in I was very careful because I didn't want to get any brownish colors from overmixing (which did happen in a few areas).
What you'll get is something that looks like this:
Aren't they pretty!? I loved the mix of colors! And they look nothing like the bright neon colors of the PEEPS. My brother had thought I used Fruity Pebbles!
And look who's PEEPing behind these yummy treats! ;)
