Up next, Tuxedo Peeps!

Aren’t these guys adorable?! All dressed up and nowhere to go – except my mouth.

I have to be honest, I’ve seen a lot of recipes with peeps. And I’m not crazy about all of them. Most of them. But these are good. ;) Great Job Brooke at Cheeky Kitchen.

Here’s how you can make them:

You will need-

  • 1 package Vanilla CANDIQUIK
  • 1 package Chocolate CANDIQUIK
  • Confetti Sprinkles
  • 3 packages of Peeps
  1. Dip the bottom half of the Peeps into Vanilla CANDIQUIK up to their necks. Place them onto a piece of wax paper and allow to set completely.
  2. Melt the Chocolate CANDIQUIK according to the package directions. Dip the Peeps diagonally on the left side, then on the right side, creating the “V” shape for their tuxes. Return to wax paper to dry.
  3. With a toothpick, dab a tiny bit of CANDIQUIK on the center of his tux, and gently press a sprinkle into place as a “button.”  Draw a bowtie above the sprinkle button by dipping your toothpick in the Chocolate CANIDQUIK.
  4. Place on wax paper until dry!
