Preparation Instructions:
Start by unwrapping your Peeps and separating them into different colors. You’ll need a variety of colors to make the eggs look vibrant and fun.
Melt the Peeps:
- Place each color of Peeps into separate microwave-safe bowls.
- Add 1 tablespoon of butter to each bowl (pre-cut for easy use).
- Microwave each bowl for about 45 seconds or until the Peeps are fully melted and soft.
Mix with Rice Krispies:
- Add 1.5 cups of Rice Krispies cereal to each bowl of melted Peeps. Stir the mixture well to ensure the Rice Krispies are evenly coated with the melted Peep mixture.
- If necessary, use additional bowls to separate the colors for easier handling.
Shape the Surprise Eggs:
- Prepare your plastic eggs by spraying the inside with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Begin by taking a small amount of the Peeps-Rice Krispies mixture and shape it into a small ball or egg shape.
- Create a small indentation in the center and place a piece of chocolate inside. This will be your surprise center!
- Place the top half of the Peeps-Rice Krispies mixture over the chocolate and squish the egg together, making sure the chocolate is completely hidden inside.
Form and Set:
- Once your egg is shaped, carefully place it inside the plastic egg mold and press to ensure it holds its shape.
- Let the eggs set in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to an hour, allowing them to firm up.
Unmold and Serve:
- Once the eggs have hardened, carefully remove them from the molds.
Your Surprise Peeps Eggs are now ready to be served! They look just like colorful Easter eggs, and the hidden chocolate inside will delight anyone who takes a bite!
