 UNION RECIPE: HOLIDAY PEEP POPS

 

 Ingredients:

  • Holiday PEEPS (Snowmen, Trees, Stars, Gingerbread Men)
  • Equal number of paper straws or sticks

Directions:

  • Remove holiday PEEPS from packaging.
  • Slowly slide a holiday PEEP on to each of your sticks or straws, stopping just before the straw pushes through the other end of the PEEP.
  • If desired, add a cellophane bag to the top of each, and tie off with ribbon. Add a gift tag for gift giving.

For chocolate covered PEEPS Pops you will also need:

  • Chocolate Coating (a bag of Hershey Chocolate Kisses)
  • Wax Paper
  • Baking Sheet

Optional: Sprinkles, crushed candy canes and candies such as Mike & Ike Merry Mix.

Directions:

  • Lay out baking sheet and line with wax paper.
  • Remove your PEEPS from their packages.
  • Melt your chocolate coating according to the package directions.
  • Spoon the chocolate onto each PEEP POP, sprinkle with topping and lay flat on wax paper to dry.
