PEEPS® Fun Facts

What’s Easter without PEEPS marshmallow chicks or bunnies! PEEPS have been a part of my Easter celebration for as long as I can remember. I love the Pink Bunnies and Yellow Chicks. You might want to try a new, super creative idea this year that my friend Meg from Pigtale Twist shared with me – Carameltini’s garnished with PEEPS Bunnies dipped in chocolate – Too fun! Cocktails are at 4pm in case you’d like to join us!

Carameltini Recipe: 1 bottle (16 oz.) of Pigtale Twist Buttery Caramel Sauce, pour into large pitcher. Fill empty bottle with Vodka, add to caramel sauce in pitcher.
