St Patricks Day isn’t even over and the Easter merchandise has already started filling the shelves at your local stores from Target to Walmart. Peeps are such a cute, colorful Easter candy that tempts us to add it to our cards.  Instead of eating a lot of sugary peeps you can use them for some spring fun instead! Whip this easter treat into peeps playdough.

This recipe is WAY BETTER than the other one’s you’ve tried before – it actually stays nice and soft! Plus it is edible playdough so you don’t have to worry if your little one wants to sample their creations.

Still looking for other uses with peeps? Try roasting them over the campfire for a special smore or put them in bread you tost in the oven (to get it a little melty) then spreading peanut butter and nutella for a yummy lunch your kids will look foward to every year!

Microwave for 30 seconds; stir. (you can add food coloring for more bold colors, but we liked the soft pastel playdough colors the Peeps made)

Kids will LOVE watching the peeps grow and get all poofy as they expand in the microwave as they cook. After all -they are really just shaped marshmallows topped with colored sugar.
