Peeps In A Nest

I love Peeps. Not only are they really cute, they taste delicious. I came up with an idea to put Peeps in a nest with Cadbury mini eggs. My daughter and I made these together and had a lot of fun.

Your kids will think these treats are great. You can let them shape the nests, add the eggs, sprinkles and Peeps.
