I’m not going to lie. I am not a fan of snacking on Peeps! The sweetness is too much for even my Krispy Kreme Original Glazed donut-loving self. I always give serious side-eye to my friends as they pop Peep after Peep into their mouths each spring.
Even my candy-loving kids are a hard pass on more than one Peep a year! The pastel colors and cute chicks and bunnies are so adorable that I really want to like them. I just can’t stomach having all that sugary marshmallow in my mouth.
That is until I discovered the joy of baking and cooking with these things!
They might not be for us straight out of the package but when mixed with some butter and some cereal, the yum factor shoots through the roof!
Check out these 25 recipes that use the marshmallow candy and let me know which is your favorite.

I’m with you. Peeps are not my favorite to eat. Maybe I’m a bad mom because I don’t think our son has ever tasted them.

My kids love candy and both of them make the “blech” face whenever they see it at the store lol.
