Ingredients
- 12 Peeps marshmallow candies
- 12 lollipop sticks
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- Sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Unwrap 12 Peeps marshmallow candies, carefully separating each Peep without tearing.
- Insert a lollipop stick gently into the bottom of each Peep, pushing approximately halfway through the marshmallow body. Be careful not to puncture completely through the top.
- Place chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in 15-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth and fully liquefied. Stir carefully to prevent burning.
- Hold each Peep by the stick and carefully dip into the melted chocolate, ensuring complete coverage. Gently tap the stick on the bowl's edge to remove excess chocolate.
- Immediately sprinkle decorative sprinkles over the chocolate-coated Peeps while the chocolate is still wet, allowing them to adhere evenly.
- Place the chocolate-covered Peeps on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch each other.
- Refrigerate for 5-7 minutes or until the chocolate has completely hardened and set.
- Remove from refrigerator and serve immediately, or store in a cool, dry place for up to 24 hours.
Tips
- • Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best melting and coating results • Ensure your lollipop sticks are clean and dry before inserting into Peeps • Melt chocolate slowly and stir frequently to prevent burning • Work quickly when adding sprinkles to ensure they stick to wet chocolate • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup a breeze • For a professional look, use different colored sprinkles or themed decorations • Keep chocolate-covered Peeps refrigerated if not serving immediately • For best texture, consume within 24 hours of preparation
