So if you have read my blog for any length of time you know that I am a bit of a Peep fan. People usually either love them or hate them. I love them.
I have loved them since I was a kid. They are just so darn cute! Of course, my favorite way to eat them is after they have dried out for a while.
Well, I couldn’t let this Easter season go by without a Peep idea or two. The Peep company actually came up with this idea and I saw it in my local grocery store. I had to restrain myself from buying one or two – Peeps on a Stick. I decided I could make them myself at home for a lot less than the $2.00 a piece price tag at the store.
So I picked up a few boxes of Peeps – one in every color and used some long lollipop sticks I already had at home. You can usually find the sticks at the craft store or a cake/candy decorating store.
I just skewered the poor little things with the lollipop stick (you could also use bamboo skewers which may be easier to find) and I had Peeps on a Stick!
I think they look darling in a little Easter centerpiece. I just filled a canning jar with some colorful jelly beans (These are the Jolly Rancher jelly beans) and added the sticks into the jar along with some other little ribbon flags I made using my leftover lollipop sticks.
They would look cute in a little white pitcher too. I wrapped these up in little plastic bags I had and tied them up with Baker’s Twine to give away as gifts.
What’s your favorite way to eat a Peep?!

These are too cute. And I love them tied together with twine. I am going to have to make some of these for neighbor and school treats. Thanks for sharing. I would love it if you could link this up to our linky party going on right now.

Next time you are in Minneapolis you will have to make a stop at the Peeps store in the Mall of America!
There’s a Peeps store? I’m in!
There is a Peep store in the Mall of America in Minneapolis but I saw the Peeps on a Stick at Walmart!
I make mine into smores using peeps, hershey kisses and graham crackers. It started one desperate night when I was sure I’d die without a smore but didn’t have the traditional ingredients and now it’s my preferred way to eat them
They look adorable!
These are so cute. Thanks for sharing such a great idea.
Adorable idea! I might have to do this for Easter. So cute.
Super super cute. I’m going to do this for all of the kids at our Easter dinner. Thanks — love your blog! Blessings!

I love this idea! Except if I made these, I’d end up eating half the peeps before they made it onto the sticks =)

Do I have to admit how many I ate while making them!?
I’m loving your peeps on a stick! So fun that you made them! Would you be willing to link these up to my Springtime Holiday Link Party going on now? I’d love to have you! Thanks, Michelle

Thanks again for linking up! I’m sharing your Peeps today! http://michellepaige.blogspot.com/2012/04/peeps-gift-ideas.html
I loved this idea for Easter treats for my piano students next week. I made 20 sticks and put them in a wide vase filled with jelly beans. They are super adorable. Your home looks really nice for Easter! Love your Blog.
Thanks Sue – so glad you had fun with them and lucky piano students!!
So cute Leigh Anne!
Thanks for linking up!
I featured your post in my wrap up! http://tidymom.net/2012/12-easter-ideas/
Have a great weekend!
Thanks!! So fun to see all the great ideas you shared. Loving the naturally dyed eggs.
I saw these at the store and had the same idea to make them myself, but what size sticks and bags did you use?
I used 12 inch lollipop sticks and the bags were ones I already had and were also 12 inches long and a couple inches wide. I just cut them off to make them shorter.
I saw this at the store as well. I knew I could make them using my left over peeps. I am so glad I wasn’t the only one with the idea that I could do this for a lot less. I love your pictures. Your peeps look wonderful!
Oh my goodness, these are so precious! I just added them to my Easter tablescape. Thanks for sharing these, I found them on Pinterest and Re-pinned
Thanks so much for linking these up to my party Leigh Anne! I don’t even like Peeps, but these are so darn cute that I’m tempted to buy them anyway. At least I wouldn’t be tempted to eat the centerpiece.

I think this is an awesomely cute idea. I bought some sticks at Michaels in the baking aisle. When I pushed the peeps onto the stick I had a STICKY MESS. please help! What’s the secret?
Unfortunately – no secret. They are a bit stick when you push them through. Try spraying a little Pam on the top part of the stick and see if that helps. I didn’t think of that until I was done so not sure how it will work but it is worth a try!
Where do you get those little plastic bags?
This is my site for ordering plastic bags – http://www.bradleybag.com/
You can get them at the craft store and I also buy them at my local cake decorating store.
Any way I want it
That’s the way I need it
Any way you want it
That’s the way you need it
And THAT’S the way I like MY Peeps!
(with apologies to Journey!)
I am so in luv with this idea !!! This is what I will be doing for the kids at church this year !!! Thank you and God Bless you and your family
So glad you like the idea and have fun making them. The kids at church are going to love you!!
These look so cute! What kind of bags did you use to cover them?
They are just little clear bags I got at the craft store.
Oh my goodness! What a cute idea!! Love it!! Pinned it!!

Thanks so much for pinning it!
This is such an easy thing to do but at the same time everyone will love it. It’s perfect for goody bags or as a feature on the dessert table at an Easter party! For more help planning your child’s party go to http://www.funtiqueparties.com.
Doing these for my son’s Easter party! Love the idea!
How adorable! Love this! I think I’m going to do this for my little one’s Easter basket

Thanks so much for the feature!
Great idea, I just made these for my girls baskets. One other thing I did after separating the chicks was rub/dab the white marshmellow side against the leftover sugar in the boxes, or rub them against the bottom of the chicks, so you have no raw ends.
What a great idea – thanks for sharing.
I am gonna make this to pass out for our kids at church. I am gonna cover them with treat bags I found at the local dollar store. Thanks for sharing this fun idea.
