  • 2 jars (7 oz. each) Kroger® Marshmallow Crème
  • 3 packages Peeps® Fruit Punch Flavored Marshmallows
  • Pastel-colored chocolate, candy melts or almond bark, for dipping

Directions

  • Bake the cupcakes according to the directions on the box. Set them aside and allow them to cool.
  • Melt one package of Peeps® in the microwave in 30-second increments until they're nice and smooth. Don't overheat.
  • Cool the melted Peeps® with a little marshmallow crème. This is called tempering.

  • Pipe a small mound of marshmallow crème onto each cupcake.
  • Place one marshmallow Peep® on top of the marshmallow crème. Set in the refrigerator or freezer to cool.
  • Melt the pastel-colored chocolate in the microwave in 10-second increments. Allow it to cool until it's no longer warm to the touch but is still melted.
