Home Made Marshmallow Peeps

Today, I tried my hand at making home made marshmallow peeps.  I used Alton Brown's recipe and found an awesome tutorial here at Twig & Thistle. 


 Instead of waiting for the marshmallow to set and dry - I piped the mixture into the chick shapes using a frosting bag and tip.



Then I sprinkled them with pale pink and green sanding sugar and painted the little eyes using lemon extract and brown food coloring.






 
For those of you who want to give these a try, I definitely recommend it - it was fun, easy, and the flavor and texture is unbelievable.


For the rest of you, you're in luck!  In celebration of Easter, we are giving away one free bag of home made marshmallow peeps with any cupcake purchase!  Just place your order here or call us at 919-247-2927 between now and next Sunday, April 4th (local orders only, please).
