Chocolate Dipped Peeps for Spring

These Chocolate Dipped Peeps, though, might just be my all-time favorite way to use Peeps. I mean, if there’s one thing that could make Peeps better, it’s dipping them in chocolate. Right??? Best of all, they’re super simple to make too. You’ll be done in a flash!

These chocolatey Peeps are perfect treats for Easter or just any old spring day. They take only a few minutes to make and add a fun and festive touch to a holiday classic. They are perfect for a party or to send in for a school celebration.

If you have been hanging around my blog for a while, you know how much I love Peeps. In fact, you’ll find quite a few craft and food ideas using Peeps if you do a quick search of Creative Cynchronicity.  They’re so cute and colorful and just scream spring to me!
