INSTRUCTIONS
PEEPS® Marshmallow Chick in the Egg
- Heat the white chocolate in the microwave according to the instructions on the package.
- Open the eggs and spoon a quarter-size amount of melted white chocolate into the bottom of one of the egg halves.
- Let it cool for about 15 seconds then gently place the Chick on the chocolate and hold until dry.
- Add sprinkles inside the egg then close.
- Take a handful of the paper grass and twist it into a nest.
- Place the nest on the plate and set the egg in the center of the nest. Trim any loose ends.
PEEPS® Garland
- Let the PEEPS® Marshmallow Bunnies and mini marshmallows sit out overnight before assembling the garland. They will be easier to string when they harden a bit.
- When you’re ready to assemble, thread the twine through the needle and tie it around the needle’s eye.
- Alternate threading PEEPS® Marshmallow Bunnies and mini marshmallows leaving an inch in between each.
- Hang above a dessert table or weave through the center of the table.
PEEPS® Decorating Tray
- Heat the white chocolate in the microwave according to the instructions on the package.
- Dip the larger end of the MIKE AND IKE® candy into the white chocolate then in the green sprinkles so it looks like a carrot.
- Add a pinch of sprinkles into each well of the palette.
- Set out a small bowl of icing to drizzle on the PEEPS® Marshmallow Bunnies to allow the sprinkles and candies to stick.
- Mini marshmallows can be added to the back of the PEEPS® Marshmallow Bunnies as tails with icing.
PEEPS® Straw
- Put the elastic over the PEEPS® Marshmallow Bunnies head and secure it to the straw.
- Tie a bow using Baker’s twine to finish. Trim the bottom of the straw as needed.
