Ingredients List

6 Bunny Peeps (Marshmallow Bunnies)
1 cup of Edible Grass (cut into small pieces)
1/2 cup of Robins Egg Candy or Cadbury Mini Eggs
1/4 cup of Easter Sprinkles
1/2 cup of Pink & Green Melting Candy Wafers (or Almond Bark)
1/2 cup of Powdered Sugar
1 Sandwich Ziplock Bag (for piping chocolate)
Kitchen Scissors
2 Microwave-Safe Bowls
6 Small Ball Jars or Baby Food Jars
Spray Paint (Optional, for decorating lids)

Step-By-Step Cooking Instructions

Melt the Chocolate

Place the pink and green candy wafers (or almond bark) in a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave in 10-15 second intervals, stirring each time until fully melted and smooth.
Pour melted chocolate into a piping bag or a sandwich ziplock bag, then snip the tip for easy drizzling.

Prepare the Peeps

Take your marshmallow Peeps and dip their bottoms into the melted chocolate.
Press them onto a small pile of edible grass, ensuring the grass sticks to the chocolate.
Set them aside to dry for a few minutes.

Assemble the Snow Globe Base

Place a few candy eggs into the bottom of each jar.
Once the chocolate on the Peeps has dried, place each Peep upside down inside the jar.
Secure the Peep with additional melted chocolate if needed.

Add Sprinkles and Close the Lid

Sprinkle Easter sprinkles inside the jar for a fun, decorative effect.
Screw the lid on tightly, making sure everything inside is secure.
Gently shake the jar to create the “snow globe” effect.

How to Serve

At Easter Brunch – Place one at each guest’s seat for a festive touch.
As a Party Favor – Give them away as take-home gifts after an Easter egg hunt.
On a Dessert Table – Arrange them among cupcakes and cookies for a fun Easter-themed spread.

Pairing Suggestions

Hot Chocolate – A warm cup of cocoa pairs perfectly with the sweet marshmallow Peeps.
Vanilla Ice Cream – Serve the snow globe treat with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a fun contrast.
Strawberry Milkshake – A fruity milkshake complements the marshmallow and chocolate flavors.

Storage, Freezing & Reheating Instructions

Storage – Keep them at room temperature in a cool, dry place for up to one week.
Freezing – Not recommended, as the moisture may make the Peeps soggy.
Reheating – If you want to melt the chocolate for dipping again, reheat in the microwave for 10 seconds at a time, stirring in between.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

When making Edible Bunny Peeps Easter Snow Globes, a few common mistakes can affect how they turn out. Avoiding these issues will ensure that your snow globes are not only adorable but also easy to assemble and fun to eat.

One of the most frequent mistakes is not allowing the melted chocolate to cool slightly before use. If the chocolate is too hot, it may cause the marshmallow Peeps to soften too much or lose their shape. It’s best to let the melted chocolate sit for about 30 seconds before dipping.

Another mistake is not giving the chocolate enough time to harden before assembling the snow globe. If you try to move or place the Peeps before the chocolate sets, they may slide out of place, making assembly frustrating. To speed up the process, you can place the dipped Peeps in the fridge for a few minutes.

Some people overfill the jars with too many decorations, leaving little space for the snow globe effect to work. While it’s tempting to add extra candy eggs and sprinkles, leaving some room at the top allows everything to move freely when shaken.

Choosing the wrong type of jar can also be an issue. Using jars that are too small makes it difficult to fit all the elements, while jars that are too large can make the decorations look sparse. A standard small ball jar or baby food jar works best for a balanced look.

Lastly, not sealing the jar properly can lead to a mess. Make sure the lid is tightly screwed on before shaking the jar. If gifting these, consider adding a decorative ribbon or sticker to keep the lid secure.

Pro Tips

For the best results, using high-quality ingredients and following a few key techniques will make your Edible Bunny Peeps Easter Snow Globes stand out.

Start by choosing fresh Peeps. If Peeps have been sitting out for too long, they tend to harden, making them more difficult to work with. Using fresh, soft Peeps ensures that they stick well to the melted chocolate and edible grass.

When melting chocolate, use a microwave-safe bowl and stir frequently to avoid burning. Overheating chocolate can cause it to become lumpy or too thick, making it difficult to use for assembling the snow globes. If this happens, adding a teaspoon of coconut oil or vegetable shortening can help smooth it out.

To make assembly easier, prepare all your ingredients before you start. Cutting the edible grass into small pieces, organizing the candy eggs, and lining up the jars will make the process go smoothly.

For a more decorative look, spray-paint the jar lids in pastel Easter colors before assembling. This small touch makes the snow globes look even more festive and polished. If you’re making these as gifts, you can also attach a small tag with a personalized message.

If you want to add an extra layer of flavor, use flavored melting chocolates instead of plain. White chocolate, caramel, or even strawberry-flavored chocolate can give your snow globes a unique taste.

When displaying these for a party or Easter brunch, arrange them on a decorative tray with a little extra edible grass sprinkled around. This makes them a cute and creative centerpiece.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I use different types of marshmallow shapes instead of Peeps?
Yes! While Bunny Peeps are the classic choice, you can use chick-shaped Peeps or any other marshmallow Easter candy. Just make sure they fit inside the jar without getting squished.

What can I use instead of edible grass?
If you can’t find edible grass, shredded coconut dyed green with food coloring works as a great alternative. Simply place unsweetened shredded coconut in a ziplock bag, add a few drops of green food coloring, and shake until evenly coated.

Can I make these in advance?
Absolutely! These edible snow globes store well for up to a week at room temperature, making them a great make-ahead Easter treat. Just keep them in a cool, dry place to prevent the chocolate from melting.

What if my chocolate is too thick?
If your melted chocolate is too thick to work with, add a teaspoon of coconut oil or vegetable shortening and stir well. This will help make the chocolate smoother and easier to drizzle.

Can I use a different type of jar?
Yes! Any small, clear jar will work as long as it’s deep enough to fit the Peep and candy decorations comfortably. Small mason jars, baby food jars, or even clear plastic cups with lids are great alternatives.

Are these safe for younger kids?
Yes, but be mindful of small candies like chocolate eggs, which can be a choking hazard for toddlers. If making these for younger children, you can use larger marshmallow decorations instead of small candies.

Can I use white chocolate instead of colored candy melts?
Yes, white chocolate works just as well! You can also add a drop of food coloring to melted white chocolate to create pastel colors that match your Easter theme.
