It’s hard to believe that Easter is just around the corner. It seems as if we were just waiting for December 25 to roll around and then, before you know it, Easter is on the horizon. Of course, there are many fun things that go along with the Easter holiday for kids and adults. We have Easter egg coloring and hunts, lots and lots of chocolate and, of course, marshmallow peeps.
Peeps have been a fun part of spring and the Easter celebration for years. In fact, it just wouldn’t be the same holiday without them. If you are someone who loves celebrations, or if you just love these marshmallow treats, you have got to see this recipe. It puts peeps into a pool of blue Jell-O. They are easy to make, yummy and loads of fun!
