Because You Always Want Some More {Peep S’mores}

by j3nn on April 19, 2011

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

I love holidays, mainly because of the food! In our house, all holidays center around food first, everything else can come as it may, LOL. So long as the food is decided upon, that’s all that matters for our celebrations. Well, of course being with each other, but that’s sort of a given. We do that every day! hehe

Three other things that belong together: Graham crackers, Hershey bars, and marshmallow Peeps—also know as S’mores!

S’mores: The Easter Version

1 graham cracker sheet; break in half
1/2 Hershey’s bar
1 Peep

You can roast the Peeps like traditional marshmallows or pop them in the microwave (assembled) for a few seconds, then sandwich it in between the chocolate and graham cracker. I was never really a fan of Peeps on their own, but combine them with chocolate and graham cracker? Match made in heaven! Smile To think, all the years I snubbed Peeps in my Easter basket when I could have been making Peeps S’mores!!

Do you have any unusual or creative uses for Peeps? My grandmother puts Peeps in her coffee, LOL. I guess sugar is sugar, right? They are so cute and colorful, an Easter basket isn’t complete without them. Bunny

How Creative! Have you seen the chocolate covered Marshmallow Bunnies they put out at Easter.. you can totally cut out a step and just smoosh one of those bad boys between to Graham Crackers too! Peeps are totally rockin though!

Cute idea. Something very different!

Love roasting the peeps.

I love stale peeps. I leave the box open for a few days before I even look at them.

Peeps are also amazing dipped in chocolate. mmmmm.

What a nice idea!!! I am going to make those for my kid!

But you burnt and squashed the Peeps!! Isn’t that a little bit cruel?! It’s okay – I smashed some Annie’s bunny grahams the other day.
hehe, this is an awesome idea, Jenn! And awesome pictures, too.

ADORABLE and a great use of some sugar! My mother mailed skylar peeps. Oy vey. We may be making smores out of them. I LOVE that your g-ma puts them in…coffee! CLASSIC!

I was just thinking about the uses for Peeps and you have found such a simple yet fun one!
I must try this.
Thanks for the inspiration!

A girl after my own Peep-loving heart These look amazing! Other than opening the package and leaving them out to get a little stale, I just eat them as is. HOWEVER, s’more form looks way, way better!

15 Samantha Angela @ Bikini Birthday Twitter: samanthaangela April 20, 2011 at 10:49 AM

Awesome! I saw these on Martha Stewart yesterday and thought it was a good idea…mainly because I hate peeps so I imagine they would be much better sandwiched between chocolate and graham crackers

16 Rachel @ The Avid Appetite Twitter: theavidappetite April 20, 2011 at 12:46 PM

So cute and fun! Peeps are just the best on Easter

17 Brittany (A Healthy Slice of Life) April 20, 2011 at 6:37 PM

There is something kind of sad about that smushed little peep bird… but I’d eat it anyways – YUM

18 Jenny (Fit Girl Foodie) April 20, 2011 at 10:23 PM
