Today was our Spring Treat Day. About 2-3 times a day I get a wild hair and I bake, a lot. Today, we did just that. We made chocolate covered pretzels, Peeps Rice Krispy Treats, chocolate peeps, Pink Tie Dye Cake, etc.

One of the nice things about our town is that we have a very supportive community. Our girls basketball went to championship last week, and the boys this week. Because so many kids go to these games and support their classmates, our community typically calls school of. Which means, for a mom of much smaller children, I have to find something to do to keep them entertained! So my ten year old invited over a friend, and we BAKED! It was a blast, it was fun watching them figure out how to make things go together, measuring, pouring, etc. Its probably one of the easiest things you can do with your kids, because you can do it at home, in your jammies, any time!

I found a really great recipe online to make Layered Peeps Rice Krispies, (Check it out here) That I REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted to try out, except…. well…. in our small town they don’t sell peeps any other color than Pink. So, we made Pink Peeps Rice Krispies!

Now, her recipe looks like its in a smaller loaf pan, and I was making them in a cake pan, so I had to improvise a bit. for every 3oz package of peeps, I put 1tbsp of butter. I used 5 packages of peeps to fill a baking pan. I wish, looking back, that I would have mixed some spring M&Ms in too, but there is always next time!
