I read somewhere that Peeps marshmallow candies have been in production for about 60 years. That’s probably right, because I grew up with them and decades have passed since then. Every year it seems that I am seeing more and more new colors and kinds for different holidays. I love to make these sweet and salty dipped pretzel treats.
Pretzel Peeps
1 (12 ounce) bag white candy melts
1 bag large pretzel rods
Assorted sprinkles
1 (12 count) package Peeps marshmallow bunnies
Prepare a large sheet pan by lining with parchment paper. In a microwave safe dish, melt the candy according to package directions. Dip the end of each pretzel rod in the melted candy, shaking off the excess. Holding the coated pretzel rod over a small dish, apply the candy sprinkles. Lay the pretzels on the prepared pan to dry. After the candy is dry on the pretzel rods, apply a small blob of melted candy to the back of a marshmallow bunny, then attach to the coated pretzel rod, holding in place for a few seconds. Place on the parchment paper to dry again.
Lay the dipped and sprinkled pretzel rods out to dry on parchment paper.
Attach the Peeps to the pretzel rods with some of the melted candy coating.
When the candy coating was dry, I packaged the Pretzel Peeps in little cellophane bags, and now they are in a basket of Easter grass just waiting for someone special. Something would just be missing if there were no Peeps at Easter.
