When it comes to filling Easter baskets, I think it’s safe to assume the vast majority of people buy their jellybeans, chocolate bunnies, Peeps and whatnot from the store.
Not Kristen. No, our assistant food editor makes her own Peeps. (One of the MANY reasons she’s in the Betty Crocker Kitchens and I’m not.)
To make the little marshmallow chicks, she used this recipe from allrecipes. She ran into a bit of a problem in that the marshmallow mixture sets up fast so she had to act quickly to form them into chicks. I think her results are actually cuter than the packaged variety. Definitely more personality.
