Let me make a stand on something: I’m against smothering the Real Meaning of Easter. Plain and simple, I don’t think after all Jesus went through for humankind on this historic weekend, that the guy deserves to play second string to clucking bunnies and creme-eggs.

That said, here’s a slightly lesser stand: I don’t believe there is such a thing as a Bad Time for S’mores. So if you just happen to have a flock of Marshmallow Peeps at your disposal, here’s something useful (not to mention, frickin’ delicious) that you can do with ‘em. The real twist is in the white chocolate, which gives the thing a smoother, butterier taste. If you’re eating this at home, you may also shop for alternatives to graham crackers, like the fancy waffle-cone cookie wafers.

Marshmallow Peep S’mores

Ingredients

• Marshmallow Peeps
• Good white chocolate (such as Lindt’s)
• Graham crackers or other light cookie/cracker options (waffle-cone cookie wafers, Anna’s Ginger Thins – experiment!)

Roast the peeps over a flame. The sugar coating will caramelize and add a nice créme brulee vibe, but the peeps will burn more easily, so take care. Remove from flame and add to cracker, adding 2-3 chunks of white chocolate.
