Need a fun Easter treat, but are short on time? These “Peep” ing Bunnies are easy enough for the kids to make, and can be completed, start to finish in about 10 minutes. They will remind you of oven s’mores, but since they are made with butter cookies instead of graham crackers, they are buttery and good. Although the following recipe uses Keebler butter cookies, any kind of plain butter cookie or sugar cookie made with butter can be used. In fact, if you have more time, you can make your favorite homemade sugar cookies, roll the dough into balls, flatten slightly, and bake. Because the Peeps are colorful, these yummy treats look great on an Easter buffet table or placed in small Easter bags and tied with ribbon in Easter colors.

Once cool (so the marshmallow is no longer sticky), they can be served in an Easter basket lined with Easter grass, or on a cute Easter tray.
