In fact, you’ll find quite a few craft and food ideas using Peeps if you do a quick search of Creative Cynchronicity.  These Chocolate Dipped Peeps, though, might just be my all-time favorite. I mean, if there’s one thing that could make Peeps better, it’s dipping them in chocolate. Right???

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.
