Easter Brownies… Think chocolate, Peeps, and M&M’s!

Easter Brownies… Think chocolate, Peeps, and M&M’s!

Ingredients:

• 1 box of brownie mix (could use chocolate cake mix, too) -plus ingredients to make brownies: eggs, oil, water

• Peeps (2 packages, so about 20 Peep chicks or bunnies)

• M&M’s – about 1 cup

Directions:

• Prepare brownies as directed on box and bake about 5-7 minutes less than baking time called for (mine called for 24-26 minutes and I put them in for 20 minutes).

• While brownies are baking, cut Peeps into bite sized pieces.

• When timer goes off, take brownies out and top with Peeps pieces. *please note, I added Easter marshmallows at this point, too, because I should have had more Peeps – note 2 self, 2 packages of Peeps next time.

• Put back in oven and bake an additional 5-7 minutes until Peeps are turning soft and just before they turn too brown.

• While hot and fresh from the oven, sprinkle 1 cup of M&M’s on brownies.

• Wait until cool to cut and enjoy!

Side Notes: Using different color Peeps would be fun! Chicks or bunnies both work! If using chocolate cake mix, instead of getting a cake like texture, to make them a bit denser like brownies, use 2 eggs & 1/2 cup oil instead of what is called for on back of box.
