It’s that time of year when those Peep Treats appear on the store shelves. They brightly shine among the Easter candy. Yes, they are festive. Yes, they remind us of a certain holiday. Yes, they are almost an Easter Basket staple. But, ARE THEY a fan favorite? Peeps get a bit of a bad rap. Here is a great way to use them in a fun and festive sweet treat! They never will go to waste again!
Recipe:
Approximately 20-24 Peeps of any color
6 -7 cups of Crispy Rice Cereal
6-8 tblsps of butter
Preheat oven to 400*F
Butter a 9×13 cake pan
Line up your Peeps Marshmello treats in rows
Completely cover Peeps with your Crispy Rice Cereal. Let those Peep heads slightly peek out! LOL
Add pats of butter across the top of the cereal
Place pan in the oven for 8-10 minutes. Check after 6 minutes since each oven is differnt. Peeps will begin to puff up and the tops will appear toasted.
Butter should be melted. Remove from oven and stir all ingredients together.
Press firmly into pan and cool. Cut into squares and serve! SO oooey goooey and delicious!
Optional: Sprinkle topping – sugars, confetti treats, m&ms, etc…
This is perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth! Guaranteed Delicious!! Enjoy and be sure to share your treats on facebook and/or instagram and tag YARNutopia! Be sure to LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, AND SHARE OUR OTHER CHANNEL HERE!
Happy Hooking and Cooking!

With a few days left before Easter, as we scramble to fill up some baskets with unique and exciting gifts, this blog showcases crochet patterns that will make your job easier!
Please follow the links below or click the photos to direct you to the written patterns to each of these fantastic designs!
For anyone who has a little one who loves to play dress up, this bunny is so fun to expand their imagination! Just in time for Easter, these are perfect for masquerade play, character building, and pretend activities! Great for many occasions!!! The possibilities are endless! I was inspired by a link I saw on Pinterest and thought these would be fun in crochet. These would make great learning tools for kids, teaching them drama, acting, and role play! It’s great for schools, small play groups! Someone on Facebook mentioned these would be great for children’s hospitals. They are easy to wear and comfortable!

This sweet little fella will hop right into your heart this season! This Bunny Amigurumi in a Carrot Cocoon is a darling project and easy enough to have done in time to make it in those baskets this Easter! For those of you who love bunnies, this is a 10 on the adorable scale!!
When I was a little girl, my maternal grandma LOVED bunnies! I remember every Easter we would go to her house and she had a basket full of bunnies. I remember playing with them! Because of her, I developed a love for stuffed bunny rabbits and it has carried into my adulthood! It has inspired me to share it with all of you!!
Follow along with this video tutorial to make this cute project:
My dad will continue to be the videographer, editor, and photographer for our videos when I move away.
Support YARNutopia today so we can continue to bring you clear, quality crochet tutorials even after I move into my new home!
There will be an added expense of more travel and hopefully this won’t deter our ability to provide consistent videos on a weekly basis.
