Author Notes:

This recipe was given to us by our 7 year old guest chef Beau, who has been cooking since he was 2. Beau and his mom Kim Tilley like to come up with fun, inexpensive things to make in the kitchen. This is a quick and easy way to decorate Easter cupcakes, using that classic Easter favorite, Marshmallow Peeps®. You might even want to take some to school for the class!

You can find more information and ideas for Easter Peeps® by clicking here to visit their web site.

Ingredients: cake mix or scratch cake ingredients (your choice)
white frosting
grated coconut
green food coloring
Marshmallow Peeps® (yellow, pink, white, blue or lavender)
jelly beans
Instructions: Bake cupcakes and frost.

Sprinkle colored coconut on top of frosted cupcakes and place a Peeps® in the center. Add a few jelly beans around the Peeps®, so they look like eggs.

Another option is to pipe a "nest" of green icing to encircle the top and place a Peeps® in the center. Sprinkle with colored sprinkles for a finishing touch.
