Peep S'mores- Genius!

Here's another idea I got off Pinterest that we'll be doing EVERY year (as long as it's not snowing which it often is in Utah for Easter) because it was SUCH a hit.
Peep S'mores! Yep, you heard that right. We roasted peep marshmallows and made them into VERY yummy s'mores. Doesn't he look cute all fluffy and ready to be squished!
In the summer when we do smores my kids rarely eat more than one but these they could have gone all night with. Apparently that extra bit of colored sugar makes them amazing! Can you believe it's 80 degrees in Utah on Easter???
Miles was smart and stayed back from the fire.
That's right- let dad do the roasting and you do the eating!
Ethan found a branch that had fallen off a tree with 2 ends so he could roast them double time.

What we learned though is that you can't catch them on fire- it's actually almost impossible to do it. They turn into a creme brulee and the sugar browns all over the peeps before he even will actually catch fire. So less of a hit if you like the blackened crust marshmallows.
So yummy! Actually had to drag them in when the supplies were all gone. And they still wanted more! Next year peeps! We're buying more!
