1. Cook for your Peeps
The “Peeps-a-licious!” cookbook has 50 Peeps-inspired recipes from food bloggers and some original recipes from the makers of Peeps. The cookbook shows how to make Peeps-styled cupcakes, trifles, dessert sculptures, s’mores, cookies, cakes and more with recipes for Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and Valentine’s Day.
Here are some other ideas.
Like your coffee sweet? Instead of adding sugar, put a Peeps on top for a gooey treat. Or Peep up your hot chocolate.
Pretty up your favorite cocktail with a Peep on the rim.
2. Read to your Peeps
“Peeps in Pajamas” is a Little Golden Book for ages 2-5 that tells what the Peeps do to help themselves fall asleep.
Instead of counting sheep, your kiddo will be counting Peeps.
There also are Peeps activity and picture books for ages 3-7 with stickers, puzzles, posters and games.
