If you want to have the best memories with the kiddos in the family, try this Easter project using peeps.
- Rabbit Peeps: use any color: peeps are marshmallows created into rabbits, chicks and other shapes at Easter time
- Twinkies: sponge snack cakes found in a box in the premade snack isles of the grocery store

- How to Assemble them:
- Just cut a little piece out at the back of the Twinkie and stuff the bunny into that back piece you removed.
- Use canned frosting or melted chocolate to adhere to the candy.

Frost the tops of cookies and cupcakes or a 9-inch round cake, with green frosting. Pile on the tinted coconut. Place two or three jelly beans on top. Stand up 1 peep on the cupcakes or cookies on the back of the cupcake cookies setting into the frosting.
Note: For the 13 x 9 sheet cake, you will need a small bundt cake for the basket to place in the middle of the cake.
Foil wrapped in ribbon for the handle. Filled plastic eggs. Canned frosting or whipped cream. Tinted coconut and mini malted Easter eggs. The basket weave is made with a Wilton tip and frosting. Use any kind of candy sprinkles on top.
