What To Do With Leftover Easter Candy…

April 1, 2024 by

After every holiday, there’s a delightful challenge of having more candy than we can eat.

But fear not, for candy is a treasure that can never go to waste, and we have the perfect solution for all your extra candy.

Easter candies, rich chocolate, and fluffy marshmallows are perfect for adding a twist to other sweets. Putting them in cookies is the perfect solution to reinvent your sweets, make them even more delicious, and ensure they do not go to waste.

I started with two bags of sugar cookie mix to create the perfect cookies. I made the dough, chopped up the candies, and mixed them in. 

The beauty of this recipe is its flexibility.

You can make the dough from scratch or opt for a premade mix or dough.

There’s no wrong choice; choose what suits your baking style and complements the candy you’re using. I’d suggest a sugar cookie or classic cookie dough base, but feel free to get creative and make it your own.

After making the dough, I chopped my Easter candy to ensure it would mix well into the dough. I mixed two candies because I had them on hand, and I knew they would go well together. I had Cadbury Mini Eggs and our S’mores chocolate bunny, which were a fantastic combination.

The two different types of chocolate balanced each other well. Once those were chopped up, I mixed them with the dough and popped them in the oven.

Who would have thought that making the “Perfect Cookie” was this easy?

Beyond mixing your favorite Easter candies into your favorite cookie dough, they can also be used as cupcake decorations, mix-ins within your brownie recipes, and even candy salad or as a perfect addiiton to your office snack selection.

In conclusion, turn your extra candy into a new sweet and create the perfect cookie. With just a few simple steps, you’ll have a delectable treat that everyone will love.

Why we LOVE Marshmallow Peeps Pops

March 16, 2023 by
Marshmallow Peeps come in two flavors – Rainbow and Mike & Ike Flavored

5 Reasons Why Peeps Pops are Just Better 

Although we love all marshmallow peeps, Peeps Pops are the superior candy choice for your Easter baskets this spring for many reasons, but if you don’t believe us, here are five reasons!

1. YOU GET MORE THAN ONE COLOR PEEP.

When you get only one colored Peep, it can get a little old while enjoying them. Even though all Peeps taste the same unless specially flavored, that doesn’t change the fact that Peeps are always better in various colors.   

Variety is the spice of life, especially where candy is concerned, isn’t it?

2. THEY ARE PERFECT FOR EASTER BASKETS.

Since these Peeps are now on a stick, they are perfect for poking into any easter basket and no longer take up as much space as the old Peeps packaging. They also provide festive pops of color while still being functional and tasty. 

Two functions for the price of one!

3. YOU CAN TAKE THEM “ON THE GO“.

With the old packaging of Peeps, you had to open too many at once. Eating them all at once was almost impossible, especially on the go. Peeps Pops are portable and make eating more effortless than ever. 

4. THEY ARE PERFECT IF YOU PREFER FRESH MARSHMALLOW PEEPS OR DON’T.

Although this has long been a topic of debate, our humble opinion is that Marshmallow Peeps are better fresh, and it’s hard to keep them fresh in their typical packaging. 

With the Peeps Pops, you get just the right portion so that nothing gets stale or goes to waste.   

If you prefer your Peeps stale, you should omit this section.

5. YOU GET EITHER RAINBOW-COLORED, OR MIKE & IKE-FLAVORED PEEPS… YOU CAN’T LOSE!

With Peeps Pops, you get a rainbow of Peeps or different colored Mike & Ike’s flavored ones. Whichever you get, it won’t be boring and will surely be delicious! 

LET US KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT MARSHMALLOW PEEPS AND IF YOU INCLUDE THEM IN YOUR EASTER CANDY LINEUP THIS YEAR!
