Make your own adorable little marshmallow chicks and bunnies for Easter. They are easy and fun to make using a basic marshmallow recipe and Colored Sugar. Peeps were discovered over 50 years ago by the Just Born Candy Company, and are just as popular and loved today. For many, Peeps are an Easter tradition. Of course the marshmallow may be colored and cut into any shape, such as green Christmas trees or shamrocks, Pink Valentine hearts, or red white and blue 4th of July stars.
