This PEEPS Candy Bunny cake is another easy way to impress your family and friends. All you have to do is bake and frost a cake just like you usually do. Then decorate it by adding some PEEPS Marshmallow Bunny Candy to it.

The icing should hold the bunnies in place. It is such a simple, but unique Easter dinner dessert. Your kids can help you make this wonderful looking cake, it's easy enough for young kids to help with.

The very cute fence is not edible. It is for sale on Amazon if you really want one, that's where you can find it.

Your kids are going to love these easy to make, fun to eat, PEEPS Candy Easter Bunny Pops and they are going to think you are the best mom ever for making them. This is such a simple recipe to make and the results are amazing. Look how good these bunny pops look, they are going to make you look like a professional treat maker.

To make these PEEPS Bunny pops you will need:

• Bunny Marshmallow PEEPS Candy
• Pop Sticks, Straws Or Skewers With A Rounded Tip
• Melting Chocolates If You Choose To Dip The Bunnies
• A Bucket, Basket, Or Pail To Put them In
• A Small Piece Of Styrofoam For The Bottom Of Your Pail
• A Bow - If You Choose To Decorate The Pops

You can dip the Bunny Pops in chocolate if you like, but you don't have to. If you do, you also might want to dip the chocolate covered ears in sprinkles.

These Bunny Racecars are easy to assemble and I can't tell you how cute they are in person. You and your kids are going to love this crafty snack idea and so will anyone else you give one to. They are really super easy to make. You will need:

• Large Marshmallows
• Bunny PEEPS® Candy
• Mini Pretzels
• Cream-Filled Cakes - Twinkies Are Great But Any Cake With A Similar Shape Will Work (Devil Dogs Are Yummy!)
• Frosting
• Sprinkles

Cut the marshmallows horizontally - they are going to be the racecar wheels. Your Twinkie, or similar cake, will be the body of the racecar, the mini pretzels are the steering wheel. Use the frosting like glue to assemble. You can find the step by step instructions at Free Fun Easter.

Birds Nests filled with PEEPS Candy Chicks and candy eggs are another wonderful, edible Easter treat that are yummy to eat and easy to make. To make the nests you will need:

• PEEPS
• Marshmallows
• Rice Krispies - The Picture Above Shows The Birds Nests made of Chow Mein Noodles - Use the same recipe as with the Rice Krispie Cereal.
• Butter
• Sauce Pan
• Cookie Sheet Sprayed With Cooking Spray

Melt the butter in your sauce pan over a low heat. When that's melted add the marshmallows and keep stirring until they are melted. Remove the butter/marshmallow mix from the heat. Pour the KELLOGG'S RICE KRISPIES cereal into the butter/marshmallow mix. Stir until all the cereal is coated. While it's a bit warm, form the treat mix into bird nests and lay them on the coated cookie sheet. There's the first part of this edible craft project.

The second part of this project is to set the PEEPS Candy Chicks and some candy eggs in the nests. I also found some great string licorice that you can use as Easter Grass to add a bit more color to these bird nests.

Find the instructions on how to make these White Chocolate Gingerbread Houses at allshecooks.com. The directions are quite simple.

Melt chocolate melting chips in a double-boiler or in a bowl in the microwave. You will need 3 graham crackers (broken in half) to make one house. Dip the ends of the crackers in the melted chocolate. The chocolate will act like glue, so after you dip it, form a house. Let the chocolate get hard.

When the houses are done add some PEEPS Candy trees, snowmen, reindeer, and gingerbread men to set the scene. You can sprinkle shredded coconut to make snow over the house and surrounding ground. That's all there is to it. Visit all she cooks for more details.
