Giant Peep Cereal Treat For One

Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons butter, plus extra for greasing the pan
  • 2 (12-pack) packages bunny Peeps, any color
  • 1 1/2 cups cereal, any type
  • food coloring (color of your Peeps)
  • 3 mini chocolate chips

Directions

Line a small loaf pan (8"x4") with wax paper and thoroughly butter or spray with non-stick cooking spray. In a small saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over low heat. Add 10 peeps (reserve last 2 peeps for display).


Stir over low heat until completely melted. 


Turn off heat and add cereal, stirring until well coated.


Pour into prepared pan.


Using buttered spatula or spoon press mixture flat and let cool slightly. 
 

Once slightly cooled, but still warm and pliable, remove from pan and shape into a Peeps bunny, using your hands, about 8" tall (Large circle on bottom, slightly smaller circle in the middle and two ears on top).


Next, melt your second package of Peeps (12 Peeps) with 1 tablespoon of butter. Add a few drops of food coloring to match the color of your Peeps. Once melted completely, pour over your cereal treat bunny.


Use a buttered spatula or spoon to spread over the top and sides of your bunny.


Add your mini chocolate chips to make eyes and a nose.


Display on a plate with your 2 remaining Peeps and pipe some grass and a special note with green frosting or cookie icing, if desired. Enjoy!
