Ingredients Notes
To craft these lovely treats, you’ll need Bunny Peeps, a boxed brownie mix, and a few pantry staples. When picking out your Peeps, feel free to explore different colors and styles for variety. The brownie mix can be swapped with homemade brownie batter if preferred, and don’t forget the eggs and oil, typically required for the mix.
Recipe Steps
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper, which will prevent sticking and help in easy cleanup.
Step 2
Prepare the brownie mix according to package instructions. You can use water instead of milk to adjust for a lighter texture if preferred. Pour the batter into a piping bag for easy application.
Step 3
Place the Bunny Peeps on the prepared baking sheet with sufficient space between each. Pipe the brownie batter over each Peep, ensuring they’re fully wrapped like a cozy blanket.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the brownie wrap is firm to touch but still soft inside. Avoid overbaking to maintain a gooey texture.
Step 5
Allow to cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy these treats warm or at room temperature for optimal texture and flavor.
Storage Options
Store leftover treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. To freeze, individually wrap each treat in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be reheated in an oven at 300°F for 5-8 minutes, restoring their delightful texture.
Variations & Substitutions
For dietary adaptations, consider using gluten-free brownie mix. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon for a warm, spicy twist, or coconut flakes for added texture. Additionally, replace Peeps with chocolate-covered marshmallows for an extra decadent version.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use homemade brownie batter instead of a boxed mix?
Yes, homemade brownie batter will work wonderfully. Ensure your batter isn’t too runny, as a thicker batter will wrap around the Peeps better, providing that perfect brownie cover.
What if my Peeps melt too much?
If your Peeps are melting too much, try reducing the oven temperature slightly. Each oven varies, so minor adjustments may be needed. Additionally, ensure you’re not overbaking, as this will cause excessive melting.
Can I make these treats in advance?
Certainly! Preparing them a day ahead allows flavors to meld, but ensure they are stored properly. This way, they maintain their freshness and taste great when served at your event.
