Leftover Peeps can be more than just sugary snacks; they can spark creativity and fun! Here are five delightful ideas to make the most of these colorful marshmallow treats.
Create a Colorful Centerpiece
Peeps are not just made for munching; their adorable shapes make them perfect for decoration. While many people enjoy filling vases with them, placing a small container in the center for flowers, you can go a step further! A bright and cheerful Peeps wreath is a great project that only requires about 140 Peeps and can last for a year—what a charming touch to your home!
Craft a Tasty Treat
Why not whip up some Peeps popcorn? Simply melt the Peeps with a bit of butter, and you’ll have a deliciously colorful and flavored popcorn snack. Watching the Peeps transform as they melt is like witnessing a magical cooking show right in your kitchen!
Unleash Your Imagination
Dioramas aren’t just for kids anymore! They can be a fun and competitive craft. Take inspiration from the remarkable work of local artist Sam Thompson, whose diorama recently won a community contest for its creativity. It featured marshmallows munching on marshmallows—a whimsical twist that certainly captured attention.
Make Play Dough
Did you know you can turn Peeps into play dough? It’s a fun activity that keeps children entertained, and you don’t need to worry about them sneaking a bite! All you need is some Peeps, corn starch, and coconut oil (or another type of oil). Add a bit of food coloring if you want to enhance the fun!
Enjoy Peeps in Action
For those who enjoy a bit of experimentation, there are entertaining videos showcasing Peeps in the microwave. Just remember, this is definitely in the “Do Not Try This at Home” category! These videos can provide some hilarious and unexpected results.
