These whimsical treats transform the traditional s’more into a colorful celebration, incorporating the iconic marshmallow Peeps that symbolize the holiday’s fun and excitement. With their vibrant hues and fluffy texture, Peeps add a unique spin to the gooey goodness that we all love.

Crafting Easter Peep S’mores is effortless, making it ideal for family gatherings, picnics, or even a cozy night in. The combination of crunchy graham crackers, rich chocolate, and the soft, marshmallowy Peep creates a symphony of flavors that will delight both kids and adults. Not only are they simple to prepare, but these treats also open up opportunities for creativity in the kitchen, as you can easily customize them to match your family’s preferences or your festive decor.

Ingredients:

To create these delicious Easter Peep S’mores, gather the following ingredients:

  • Graham crackers
  • Chocolate bars (milk chocolate is commonly used, but feel free to mix it up with dark chocolate or even flavored varieties)
  • Marshmallow Peeps (choose an assortment of colors for a cheerful effect)
  • Optional: additional chocolate for drizzling (you can use white chocolate, dark chocolate, or even colorful candy melts to make it festive)

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven: Begin your delicious adventure by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step is essential to ensure that your Peeps get perfectly gooey without overcooking.

Prepare the Baking Sheet: While the oven heats, place half of the graham crackers directly on the baking sheet. Each piece will serve as the base for your s’mores. For the best results, ensure the crackers are evenly spaced to allow for even baking.

Add Chocolate and Peeps: To each graham cracker, place a piece of chocolate. Typically, one or two rectangles from a chocolate bar will suffice. Next, add a vibrant marshmallow Peep on top of the chocolate. You can use any color, or a mix of colors, for a playful touch that celebrates the spirit of Easter.

Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 5 minutes. Keep a close eye on the Peeps as they soften and expand; you’ll want them to become gooey without melting too much. The chocolate should also begin to melt, creating an inviting layer of sweetness.

Assemble the S’mores: Once the s’mores are out of the oven, remove the baking sheet and let it cool slightly. Now it’s time to create a sandwich! Take the remaining graham crackers and gently press them on top of the marshmallow Peeps and chocolate to form a complete s’more. The warmth from the Peeps and chocolate will help bind the graham crackers together as it cools slightly.

Optional Drizzle: For that extra layer of sweetness and visual appeal, melt additional chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and drizzle it over your assembled s’mores. This topping can be done in a fun zigzag pattern or poured over for a more rustic look. Feel free to sprinkle some colorful sprinkles on top to enhance the festive vibe!

Enjoy!

These Easter Peep S’mores are not only delicious but also a fun activity that the whole family can enjoy. Kids will love helping with the assembly, and everyone will enjoy the delicious results. Serve them warm as an exciting dessert at your Easter gathering, or pack them for a fun treat during a spring picnic. The charm of these colorful, gooey s’mores is sure to elicit smiles and laughter, making them a delightful addition to your Easter celebrations.
