This time of year, you see these little guys everywhere.
They may pop up in other colors (or in disguise…)
As a kid, we would perform various Marshmallow peep experiments and often liked to cut off the top of one peep and place it on other peeps, making various rainbow peeps….but that is probably a whole other post.
As an adult though, I’m more interested in peep-tastic recipes. So if you love peeps, or even if you don’t, here is a peep recipe that is fun to add to a spring party, an Easter gathering or just a fun after-school activity.
Peep Peach Fizz
Ingredients
- 6 Marshmallow Peep Chicks
- 1 Can of sliced peaches
- 6 ounces Pineapple Juice
- 1/4 cup Lemonade concentrate
- 1/4 tsp Almond Extract
- 3 cups Club Soda
- 8 ounces Cool Whip
- As Desired-Crushed Ice
Cooking Directions
- To make the peach base, add peaches to food processor or blender. Process until smooth to measure 2 cups puree. Stir in pineapple juice, limeade and almond extract.
- Fill 12 ounce glasses with crushed ice then add 1/3 cup of the peach base to each glass. Top with club soda and stir gently.
- Put a dab of cool whip on top and put a peep on top of it. Serve.
- Makes six servings.
