Peeps!

Hi, everyone! Though our previous posts were written by both me (Katie) and Sarah together, today's post is divided into sections. I'm doing the intro and Sarah will be taking care of the rest. After all, she is the chef and this post has to do with baking!

Peeps in a blanket!

Last week, we made these adorable little brownies, which Sarah found on Pinterest. I've linked to the recipe here. Sarah did the actual baking, but she was gracious enough to let me and our little sister join in the decorating fun (and of course the eating, which is the best part). Now I'll pass this post off to Sarah so that she can tell you about the recipe.


Sarah here! For future reference, purple is my favorite color, so if the text is purple, it's probably me writing. As seen above, Katie's writing will typically be green.

Peeps without their blankets

First, I should probably explain why we're posting an Easter recipe almost two weeks after the fact. For one thing, it's never too late for Peeps. Also, our mom gave up sweets for Lent, so I basically gave up baking for Lent. This took some reining in on my part, since I have been a baking machine for the past few holidays. Since I didn't want all the cute spring recipes I had pinned to be rendered useless, I decided to do some post-Easter baking instead. So, the only thing I made in time for Easter Sunday itself were cupcakes to be given away. (They were super cute too. Here's a link.)  

Brownie (and Katie's hand)

Anyway, on to the brownies: They are homemade, but they mix up quickly. The texture was somewhat similar to the boxed mixes - very rich and dense. In other words, these are real brownies, not cake masquerading as brownies.

The decorating was also easy, and something little kids could take part in. Since the brownies hold together well, dipping them in the almond bark was much less difficult than dipping candies. The sprinkles are optional, but why would you forgo sprinkles? All in all, a good recipe that I would make again. The cuteness factor alone makes it worthwhile.

Finished product!

We'd like to thank you all for reading our blog! We hope you've enjoyed it thus far and that you'll be back on May 1st when our next post goes up.
