Gotta Love the Peeps

Did I tell you that I love Easter??? Well, one of the things I love most is Peeps! So, when I saw this cute little recipe in the March/April Cooking with Paula Deen, I just couldn't pass it up!

I thought they would make a fun Easter surprise for the kiddos' classmates! Thus began our chocolate meringue bird nest adventure!

I have to say, it was definitely easier than the Easter treats I pulled off last year! Basically an easy meringue recipe and some Peeps (oh, and I thought a few robin's eggs tucked underneath would be appropriate!).

The sad news is my meringues ended up looking like cow patties instead of birds' nests. They were good cow patties nevertheless. Or at least Kathryn enjoyed them!

So, we improvised and simply used the chocolate covered chow mein noodles as our nests, tucked in a few eggs, and topped with a Peep (pink AND blue of course....heaven forbid the girls in the class receive a blue Peep as shown in the magazine!).

I have to say they weren't the prettiest things, but I think once they were all dolled up with stickers* and bows they made a really cute Easter goody!

*Love the stickers? I do too! Sugar and Spice Mommy, a very cute and creative mommy I might add, is sharing her adorable designs for free! You can read all about it here!

Blessings to all of you this Easter Weekend!

He is risen!
