Ingredients

12 Marshmallow Peeps (bunnies or chicks)
1 cup white chocolate or candy melts
1 cup milk or dark chocolate (optional)
Assorted sprinkles (pastel colors for Easter)
Lollipop sticks or wooden skewers
1 tablespoon vegetable oil (optional, to smooth the melted chocolate)
Cellophane bags and ribbons for wrapping (optional)

Step-by-Step Process

Prepare the Peeps
Carefully insert lollipop sticks or skewers into the bottom of each marshmallow Peep. Make sure they’re securely in place, but be gentle to avoid tearing the marshmallow.
Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate or candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth. If the chocolate is too thick, add a small amount of vegetable oil to thin it out.
Dip the Peeps
Hold each Peep by the stick and dip it into the melted chocolate, coating it evenly. Tap off any excess chocolate by gently tapping the stick on the edge of the bowl.
Decorate with Sprinkles
While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the Peeps with your choice of festive sprinkles. Be creative and use different colors and shapes to match the Easter theme.
Let Them Set
Place the dipped Peeps on a parchment-lined baking sheet and allow them to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator until the chocolate hardens.
Optional Drizzle
For an extra decorative touch, drizzle the Peeps with melted milk or dark chocolate using a spoon or piping bag.
Wrap and Decorate
Once the Peeps Pops are fully set, you can wrap them in cellophane bags and tie them with colorful ribbons for gifting.

Variations

Chocolate Options – Use dark, milk, or even colored candy melts to match different holiday themes.
Sprinkle Creativity – Try different sprinkle shapes like stars, hearts, or Easter egg-shaped sprinkles to add a unique touch.
Different Peeps – You can use different Peep shapes, such as bunnies, chicks, or even holiday-themed marshmallows.
Flavor Add-Ins – Add a drop of peppermint, vanilla, or almond extract to the melted chocolate for an extra flavor boost.
