Peeps S'mores Packages

Here’s another fun “kitchen” craft for Easter. If you’re planning on making on those adorable Easter Bunny Race Cars I posted yesterday, you will probably have some Peeps® leftover. Here’s a clever way to use them up. Combine Peeps® with graham crackers and chocolate; and you have Peeps® S’mores (a.k.a. Smeeps.) Package up these ingredients with a cute little instruction label and you have colorful and festive Easter basket fillers, or treat bags for your Easter Egg Hunt. These are so quick and easy to throw together (I made about a dozen in less than 5 minutes) and are as much fun to give as they are to receive! But the most rewarding part of all is the look of sheer delight and surprise when the little ones watch the “magic” happen in the microwave after assembling these treats. Just make sure you have extra packages on-hand, because, after devouring one, your kids will be asking, “Can I have s’more?”

I used 4x6-inch cellophane bags (with self-sealing closure) for the packaging, which you should be able to get at any office supply store (I bought mine at Amazon). Alternatively, you can also use small Zip-Lock bags, but you may want to design a tag to go across the top to hide the zip closure.

When I placed my order for the bags, I also ordered labels. The oval shaped ones seemed perfect for Easter (plus I knew I could find other uses for them later).

Avery.com offers online design and printing for any label size, with lots of designs to choose from, which are all customizable. Just type in the label number, then select the design, then edit and customize to make it your own. When you’re done designing, save the design, and you’re ready to print. 

The rest is easy. Just lay out your supplies and ingredients and you’re ready to go. Put a Peeps® in the bag, followed by 2 graham crackers, followed by a snack-size chocolate bar. Seal the bag on the closure side. I then folded down the top of the bag (for a tighter fit, so the crackers wouldn’t jiggle around and crumble), then sealed the back with the printed label. Done!
