As far back as I remember, one one of my favorite Easter treats has been Peeps. My son loves them too. It just wouldn’t seem like Easter without them. I have such a yummy surprise in store for you! Snickerdoodle cookies paired with marshmallow Peeps and chocolate make such a delicious Easter s’mores treat.
I have been seeing so many different Easter treats made with Peeps lately. They are all over Pinterest. So, I couldn’t help but share these Snickerdoodle Peeps S’mores with you. They are Peeps with a fun twist. How could it not be a hit? Since one of my favorite cookie flavors is snickerdoodle, it seemed the perfect companion to the Peeps. Spring is the best time to have s’mores, why not combine all of the above and make a Snickerdoodle Peep S’more?. Sounds like a perfect treat to me!
