Peeps

So I know this is a little late but I just got the recipe from my Relief Society president who gave it to me. It also says that it may be created for any holiday which marshmallow candies are available. It is one of those cookie in a jar mixes but it uses peeps for Easter. Now, I am not a peep fan but it was so cute in the jar and the cookie bar was yummy. So you can put it in your idea file and give to someone!
1. Reduce 1 sleeve graham crackers in crumbs.
2. Layer 2/3 of the crumbs in a 1 quart jar.
3. Place 8 marshmallow bunny peeps standing up, facing out around the inside of the jar.
4. Press them up against the glass, but don't squash them.
5. Carefully, spoon remaining crumbs in the center of the jar to support the bunnies, pressing down to keep it snug.
6. On top of this, pour 1-1/4 cup Easter M&M's.
7. Spoon 1/3 cup brown sugar into the center of the M&M's, gently pressing with a spoon.

Attach a gift tag with the following instructions:
1. Empty the jar contents in to a bowl. Snip the bunnies into bits with kitchen shears or cut up with a knife. Return the bunny bits to the mixture. Mix well.
2. Melt 1/2 cup butter; add 1 tsp vanilla. Pour this over the dry ingredients, mixing well. Pat into a greased 9" square pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Cool and cut into bars. (Makes 9-12 bars)

Also a great idea for peeps that I saw was a table centerpiece where they were stuck on skewers and put in a basket with floral foam. Easter grass was put on top of it. She had several colors of peeps at differernt heights. It was way cute and a way to use those nasty peeps!
