PEEP show!!

Bethhartley · 02-23-2006, 06:18 PM

FOUR YEARS EARLIER.......

OKay, some of you saw this project off in another thread. And, No, it's not a peep show like you are thinking!!

...Imagine,though...we got off on Peeps in the CE forum. So, I thought I'd post the recipe. Enjoy!!

Ingredients in the Jar:

Reduce 1 sleeve graham crackers (approx 1 1/3 c.)to crumbs and layer 2/3 of the crumbs in a 1 qt. jar.
Place 8 marshmallow bunny peeps standing up, facing out around the inside of the jar pressing them against the glass, but don’t squash them.
Carefully, spoon remaining crumbs in the center of the jar to support the bunnies, pressing down to keep it snug.
On top of this pour 1 ½ c. Easter M&M’s.
Spoon 1/3 c. br. Sugar into center of M&M’s gently pressing with a spoon.
Decorate the lid of the jar however you please…tie curly ribbons around the neck of the jar.

Directions: Empty the jar contents into a bowl. Snip the bunnies into bits with kitchen sheers or cut up with a knife. Return the bunny bits to the mixture and mix well. Melt ½ c. butter, add 1 t. vanilla. Pour this over the dry ingredients, mixing well. Pat into a greased 8x8 baking dish. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Cool and cut into bars.
*Option: leave the bunnies whole; combine remaining ingredients and place the bunnies on top; then bake as directed

**See this thread for a downloadable recipe in a Word document and more info. Thanks KIM for doing this! **

On a side note...be sure to copy and give the directions to whomever you give the jar to...so they will know how to bake them peeps right up!

Peeps live on in 2010!

cool thanks for the link!! didnt want to ask for it on the "other" thread!!

fool4scrapping · 02-23-2006, 06:40 PM

WOW this sounds violent.. maybe you should post it in the other thread! Will give them something to take their frustrations out on, especially the "cut the peeps into little pieces" part!

Bethhartley · 02-23-2006, 06:46 PM

Heheeh...that's funny. Really, I guess it is a bit intolerant of us, huh?, to cut them babies up with scissors or a knife....ha! I don't know, I may have brainwashed you all with this peep recipe...you'll be making them for years to come without any choice of your own on the matter!!

Hehehe!

newtnewt · 02-23-2006, 07:10 PM

Those are so cute! Thanks for sharing the directions.

Thanks Denier!

I have two friends who are ADDICTED to Peeps. Every spring they have a competition going to see who can find them in the store the earliest and put them on the other's porch first. Don't ask me why.... they think it's great fun. I will have to try this clever idea and surprise them both with "Peeps in a Jar."

Savvy stamps makes a rubber stamp with three peeps bunnies in a row. It is a bold stamp, available through several sources.

Here's where I found it:
