This Easter Peeps Bark is proof that the best holiday treats don’t have to be complicated. With just a handful of ingredients and zero oven time, you’ve got a festive, crowd-pleasing dessert that’s as pretty as it is delicious. It stores well, travels easily, and disappears fast, so don’t be surprised if you find yourself making a second batch before the holiday is even over. However you choose to share it (tucked into Easter baskets, piled on a dessert table, or sneaked straight from the fridge) we hope it brings a little extra sweetness to your celebration. Happy Easter and happy snacking!
These are so cute and so festive. I love crafting with chocolate melts. I’m looking forward to making Easter crafts.
What a cute idea for a treat. I think my kiddos would love these for Easter.
Peeps has always been one of my favorite Easter treats so this Peep bark I will have to make for sure. It will be fun to do with my niece’s kids. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
My family and I will be having our Easter reunion at my cousin’s house. She has three little daughters and I am sure the kids would love this peep bark treat. I’m saving the recipe and making this for my cute little nieces.
I will have to pick up the ingredients I need to make this for Easter. I am sure it will be a big hit.
This is a great little craft. I have to admit, I do not like Peeps by themselves. They are way too sweet. I think like this, though, I might enjoy them.
Those are cute ideas! Peeps are so colorful, they make for so many fun ideas in recipes. We always have some leftover so these are great uses.
We love making the bark for all the different holidays. I don’t use the peeps, I think they are adorable but way to much sugar taste for me. Do love all the colors just wish they were healthier.
That is such a super fun and cute idea for Easter! It looks exactly like Peeps! I’d love to try this. Peeps is such an iconic treat for Easter. Thanks so much for sharing this!
Peeps are so cute! Combining them with a fun white chocolate bark is a delicious way to celebrate Easter!
Well this would be fun to do! I have never thought about making Peep bark before! People are getting so creative with peeps.
Those are super cute and easy too! That is my kind of recipe. I could see making bags of this candy for gifts.
It’s amazing what types of recipes there are that can include peeps. I’m fascinated by the peeps oreos in the store too!
Your Peep Bark is really pretty. It is always fun to eat pretty food. Easter seems to always be an occasion for such colorful dishes and desserts.
I’m typically not a fan of Peeps because they are too sugary and sweet, but this Easter bark is so cute I really need to try your recipe. Happy Easter!
This is such a fun Easter treat. My kids would love this. Can’t wait to make it for them.
