Homemade Peeps

Peeps are so cute and yummy! If you don’t want to go out and buy them, here is another way to make them.

Ingredients:

• Peeps:

• One packet of gelatin
• ⅓ cup of cold water
• 1 cup of sugar
• Another ¼ cup of water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• cocoa powder + tiny bit of water, optional – for eyes

• Colored sugar:

• 1 cup sugar for each color
• Food coloring

Steps:

• Peeps:

1. In a mixer bowl, put ⅓ cup cold water.
2. Empty packet of gelatin over water and let sit while you make sugar mixture.
3. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar and ¼ cup water. Swirl to combine well.
4.  Using a candy thermometer, heat over medium heat until it reaches soft ball stage (238 F). Do not stir during this process. If crystals form on pan walls, use a brush with water to dissolve it back down.
5.  When at 238 F, remove from heat and slowly pour into the mixer bowl with gelatin.
6. Stir by hand for a couple minutes to break any gelatin lumps.
7.  When cooled slightly, place on a mixer with whisk attachment and combine at medium-high speed until white and somewhat stiff. About 8-9 minutes.
8. Immediately transfer to a large piping bag (14″ works well) with ½” tip. (Alternatively, use a gallon Ziplock bag with corner cut.)
9.  With colored sugar in a shallow dish, pipe chick shapes directly into the sugar.
10. If the shape doesn’t hold, let the mixture cool for a minute or two and try again.
11. Use a spoon to cover marshmallow chicks with sugar.
12.  Let cool for 30 minutes on a tray.
13. Enjoy!!!!

• Colored Sugar:

1. Combine 1 cup sugar in a Ziplock bag with the food coloring
2. Mix until well combined, several minutes.
3. Sift larger pieces out
