Make Easter more extraordinary with s’mores made with peeps marshmallows. This recipe for Peeps S’mores is easy to make and you won’t even have to be outside by the fire pit to make this cute Easter dessert.
I know many who are not big fans of Peeps because they are really sweet; however, there are enough people out there buying them that they will always be around during Easter time. For most when it comes to Easter treats it is usually all about the chocolate, but adding in Peeps S’mores makes it so much more fun and colourful.
Easy Easter desserts
The first time I ever used peeps in my desserts was when my daughter was little. I made a cake and just put the peeps all around the sides of it.
Peeps come in either bunnies or baby chicks and are very bright in colours of pink, yellow, purple, and blue, which can make some fun themed spring and Easter desserts.
If you love Peeps and are looking for ideas for using them to bake with, here is a list of 11 easy Easter desserts using Peeps:
- Colourful Peeps Rice Krispie squares
- Peeps Cake pops
- Easter Dirt Cake
- Peeps Pudding cups
- Peeps Popcorn balls
- Easter Peeps Cupcakes
- Peeps Sunflower cake
- Birds nest with Peeps

Lastly, if you decide you want another easter treat idea, all you have to do is melt some chocolate in a fondue pot and dip in the peeps to have chocolate covered Easter peeps. Add some sprinkles or other candies to make it a fun Easter dessert.
Melting Peeps
Making desserts with peeps is pretty easy and melting them is the same as regular marshmallows. The only difference will be the texture since Easter Peeps have a colourful coating of sugar but the same gooey goodness inside.
No matter what Easter dessert idea you use, it will be a fun family Easter full of peeps.
