Easter Peeps Centerpiece and Peeptinis!

Create an easy and festive centerpiece for Easter with marshmallow Peeps! You’ll also find recipes for Lemon Peep-tinis and an Easter Peeps Parfait!

My inner 5-year-old can not resist holiday PEEPS^®. . .

. . .a fan of marshmallow you ask?

~No~

{ shudder }

Just a fan of the happy colors & packages of the seasonal holiday shapes! I used to buy them to dole out for my nephews and niece who have outgrown them, while I apparently have not :)

I saw a version of this centerpiece in Phyllis Hoffman Celebrate Spring issue using PEEPS^® chicks in egg shells. I added some pastel eggs, egg cups, and paper shred for a few colorful nests and flowers.

Daffodils would have been perfect but ours are spent, but grocery store yellow daisies and some white alstroemeria add a fresh pop of color along with lemons.

~Lemon Peeptinis~

An Easter version of a Lemon Drop, with Bunny and/or Chick Peeps on a wooden skewer, and a floating organic viola for garnish.

Or a festive way to serve lemonade for your Easter Egg Hunt~ a Peep swizzle stick with a colored sugar rim glass!

Easter Peeps Parfait~

I layered a blend of lemon curd and reduced fat cream cheese with crumbled Pepperidge Farm Chessmen cookies, whipped cream & berries.

You could substitute pudding and use any cookie, angel food or pound cake for a Peeps Pudding Parfait  :)

Garnish with a Peep :)

I found this spring edition of Pepperidge Farm Chessmen cookies with tulip design on them~ yes, I’m one of those people~ a sucker for seasonal designs and products like those holiday-shaped Townhouse Crackers and seasonally colored Oreos :)

I did a happy dance when I opened the package and saw the third design on the cookie was a watering can not shown on the package!

Fun for a garden club/party when you don’t have time to bake :)
