My little Owen participated in his first two Easter Egg Hunts this weekend. With a little (OK, a lot) of help from his dad and grandfather he found the golden egg at one of the hunts! This made us the proud owners of a 1 lb. chocolate bunny!! Ugh!! What do you do with a 1 lb. chocolate bunny?
Maybe you're in the same boat... lots of extra Peeps and chocolate bunnies! Here are a few ways to reinvent your Easter candy to make it something you might actually want to eat:1. Grate your chocolate bunnies with a cheese grater to make Chocolate Chips for pancakes, cookies and brownies 
2. Melt your chocolate bunnies and stir it into milk for chocolate Bunny Milk
3. A couple of melted bunnies and some strawberries make Chocolate Covered Strawberries
4. Chocolate Covered Pretzels
5. And my favorite idea... Peep Smores!!
Blow up your Peeps in the microwave for a few seconds, add a chunk of chocolate bunny and graham crackers. These are way better than regular Smores because the Peep sugar gives the marshmallow a little crunch...yum! Enjoy!

Those peep smores seem like just the ticket for me. Thanks for the idea!
I can't say the peep s'mores do it for me, but chocolate covered strawberries sound sooo good... must buy some strawberries tomorrow... Mmmmm.... :)
Yummy!
I melt the chocolate bunnies to make Chex Muddy Buddies! YUM!
Great ideas, thanks for sharing! If it's okay with you, I'll share these tips in my Saturday Shout-Outs this weekend!
I just have to say I made a Peep smore last night with a dark chocolate candy bar and it was delicious! Brilliant idea!:-) The only downer was that I set off the smoke alarm because I did it under the broiler and the sugar on the Peeps smokes making the room a little smoky. Oh well, it was definitely worth it. Thanks!
I have Peep Aversion Syndrome, but microwaving one and adding it to a smore sounds like good therapy!
honestly, peeps are darn fabulous just plain roasted over the ol campfire. Doesn't sound like a big deal, and they won't look toasted, but they get really gooey inside with a nice light crisp outside where the sugar melts. take or leave the rest of the s'mores fixins... roast the peeps on your next camping trip! you'll not be sorry...
