Here is the dirty chick I am talking about.
Dirty chick....get it? I love Peeps, and I especially love them dipped in chocolate. Sure, you can buy chocolate covered Peeps in the store, but I don't like those ones. You know why? The sugar coating is missing! You are basically eating a chocolate covered marshmallow. Peeps are not simply marshmallows! The sugar coating is what makes it a Peep.
These would make cute party favors, especially for classroom parties (guess what the 2nd grade is going to have in April?).
Dirty Chicks are super easy to make. All you need are Peeps, melting chocolate, and wax paper.
We used blue chicks because, well, it reminded me of a blue duck, and I've never seen a blue duck before (Did anyone get that movie reference?). Be sure to follow the directions when you melt the chocolate. If you overheat it, it will not melt properly and you won't be able to use it. Take a Peep, and dip the bottom of it in the chocolate. Gently shake the chick to remove the excess chocolate, and then place the Peep on wax paper. That's it! That's all you have to do. Keep dipping the Peeps until you run out of either supply. Once you are done, you should have your own little chicken coop.
Not only do I love chocolate covered Peeps...I also love sprinkles (because I have the taste pallet of a child). I thought the sprinkles added a little more color to this sugar treat.
What do you think?
That's quacktastic! ;-D
