    Have you seen the adorable Rainbow Peeps stuffed toys yet?

    My sister knows how much I love Peeps and she presented me one for my birthday. I was sitting in a nice restaurant and I squealed! Seriously loud enough for the people around us to hear. I got a few glances, but I didn't care because I was too busy admiring the brightly colored stuffed Peep.

    It's shaped just like a Peeps bunny but instead of being just one color, it has a rainbow of colors in a zebra like pattern. It is so incredibly cute.

    Cute, right????

    My friend and her kids were over last week filming a Facebook live and when we were finished she noticed the Rainbow Peeps plush toy sitting on my counter. She suggested I make a treat based on their cuteness. I didn't wait a minute before I was pulling out ingredients to make my prototype.

    I created the bunny using Fruity Pebbles. I love that the front and the back are brightly colored and that cereal treats are so easy to shape into just about anything. It took me minutes to get the marshmallow treats made and shaped into a simple Peeps bunny. I drizzled on white Candy Melts and a rainbow of colors.

    I am so excited to share this treat with you. I hope you love them as much as I do.

    NOTES:

    • I poured by candy melts into zip top bags, but if you have disposable pastry bags, I'd use those instead so that you can reheat the bags if needed as you are working.
    • You can, skip the bags and just use a spoon to drizzle the candy melts over each bunny.
    • Store the bunnies in an airtight container for up to a week.

    You can find the Rainbow Peeps at drug stores, grocery stores, discount stores, and on Amazon (commission earned for sales).
