When it comes to Easter, I have to admit that one of the first things I think of are PEEPS! It’s like just part of Easter to have one or two. But if you’re looking to skip the ones in the store, you can have fun with your kids learning how to make homemade peeps!

It’s an easy way to spend some time together making a treat you can all enjoy!

How to Make Homemade Peeps

The great thing about learning how to make homemade peeps is that they’re super easy to make and you can make them for an occasion! Because you’re just using marshmallows, you can change up the color sprinkles that you use to make this homemade peeps recipe!

Need something easy for Memorial Day or the 4th of July? Just pick up some red and blue sugar sprinkles instead of the pastel that we used for this Easter version! In minutes you’ll have some festive homemade peeps marshmallow pops to enjoy!
