I have mentioned before about my love of treats made from Peeps and just Peeps in general. They are just so stinking cute, and of course, tasty to eat. When I am looking for a quick and easy dessert for Easter, I know I can use Peeps to make Peep cupcakes. Peeps are an easy way to change up a regular cupcake, give it an Easter feel and make the cupcakes seem even more special.
Tell me what kid, or kid at heart, would not love to be handed a cupcake like this. Even though they are simple to make, these Peep cupcakes look like something that I would have bought at my local cupcake bakery. You can use them to wow the kids and your friends. Only you have to know how easy they were to put together.
