PEEPS Recipes

PEEPSicles

Ingredients:

• 6 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped

• 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut or 1/2 cup
peanuts (about 2 ounces), finely chopped

• 12 wooden craft sticks, available at candymaking-
supply stores

• 12 PEEPS Bunnies, any color

Method:

1. Line a baking sheet with wax paper.

2. Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir occasionally until melted and smooth.

3. Place the coconut or nuts on a plate.

4. Insert 1 craft stick about halfway into the bottom section of 1 Bunny. Dip into the chocolate, turning to coat completely. Holding the dipped Bunny over the bowl of chocolate, use a
knife to scrape the excess chocolate off the back and bottom of the Bunny, letting it fall back
into the bowl. Hold the Bunny over the plate of coconut or nuts and sprinkle to cover all sides.

5. Place the Bunny on the prepared baking sheet and repeat to dip the remaining Bunnies.
Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes. Serve frozen. PEEPSicles can be stored in an airtight
container in the freezer for up to 1 week. Makes 12 PEEPSicles.
