Easter Peeps Fun Food Recipe for Kids
These Easter Peep Cars are creative, hands-on treats for kids—just stack Twinkies, Peep bunnies, and candies to make adorable edible vehicles!
Ingredients
- 6 Twinkies
- 8 Bunny shaped Peeps multi-color Multi-color
- Black Licorice Ropes
- 1 Pouch Wilton Candy Melts Drizzle White chocolate
- 6 Necco Wafer Candies
- 6 Plain M&M’s
- Easter Sprinkles
Instructions
- Cut a small chunk out of the middle of the Twinkie without cutting through the bottom or the sides. Reserve these pieces to use the filling from them later.
- Cut about a fourth off from the bottom of each peep.
- Place the peeps into the holes of the Twinkies and make a small slit in front of the peep to put a Necco wafer into for the steering wheel.
- Now, take some of the Twinkie filling reserved from earlier, and “glue” on 2 candy headlights onto the front of each Twinkie.
- To make the wheels, roll up a piece of the black licorice (about 8 inches long). To do this, dip your fingers in water and run the licorice between them to wet the licorice, then roll. Let those sit and dry for a few minutes.
- Heat the Wilton Candy Pouch per package directions, and “glue” 4 licorice tires onto each car, let dry. Finally, take the candy pouch and “glue” on one M&M on the car's backend. Now, they are ready to Eat! Enjoy!!
Notes
- To make your Peep cars even cuter, add extra details like mini candy buttons or colorful sprinkles for a fun, personalized touch.
- When rolling the black licorice, dampen your fingers to help shape it perfectly without sticking—this makes forming the "tires" a breeze.
- Get creative with the toppings! You can swap out the Necco wafers or M&M's for other candies, like jelly beans, for extra festive flair!
