Peep Killers?????

Well I had to add just one more thing for all of you! I am a Dork. Yep I freely admit it. I am. I even belong to a bunch that calls themselves The Travelin Dork Sisters. We are quite the group of women. We have a lot of fun and we are very close as friends.

Over the last few years we have been having fun at this time of year because of a certain recipie that we all like to use and share. It involves Peeps. Yep, those marshmallow critters we all love to eat, but don't often like to admit.

You need to check out one of my Dork Sister Lori's blogs to see the story behind the Peeps and the Peep Killers. It's well worth the read.

Start with this one: Peep Killers Anonymous - Exposed!!!

Then finish up here: Follow Up On Peep Killing

I hate to admit it but I supplied the photo of the Peeps in the last post. Not proud of it, but I did. LOL!!

And just in case you are wondering what the recipie is, well here you go!

Peep Smores
Peep Smores Ingredients in the Jar:
Reduce 1 sleeve graham crackers to crumbs and layer 2/3 of the crumbs in a 1 qt. jar.(1 1/2 cups crumbs)
Place 8 marshmallow bunny peeps standing up, facing out around the inside of the jar pressing them against the glass, but don’t squash them.
Carefully, spoon remaining crumbs in the center of the jar to support the bunnies, pressing down to keep it snug.
On top of this pour 1 ½ c. Easter M&M’s.
Spoon 1/3 c. br. sugar into center of M&M’s, gently pressing with a spoon.
Decorate the lid of the jar however you please…tie curly ribbons around the neck of the jar.
Include these directions:
Directions: Empty the jar contents into a bowl. Snip the bunnies into bits with kitchen sheers or cut up with a knife. Return the bunny bits to the mixture and mix well. Melt ½ c. butter plus 2 tbsp butter, add 1 t. vanilla. Pour this over the dry ingredients, mixing well. Pat into a greased 8x8 baking dish. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Cool and cut into bars.
*Option: leave the bunnies whole; combine remaining ingredients and place the bunnies on top; then bake as directed
