Choco Peeps

Chocolate Covered Easter Peeps on a Stick

Supplies for Chocolate Dipped Easter Peeps:

  • chocolate to melt
  • Easter Peeps
  • lollipop sticks
  • wax paper
  • plate or tray

To melt your chocolate, place it in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Stir it, then if needed, microwave for another 20 seconds. Repeat if necessary. This works best with chocolate chips.

Place a lollipop stick into the bottom of the Peep. Dip your Peep into the chocolate and place on a plate lined with wax paper. Let this harden. You can also place them in the fridge for faster results.


Now you’re ready to Hippity-Hop on over to enjoy these Chocolate Covered Easter Peeps!

Pop up Pancakes

Pop Up Pancake Recipe – makes 24 muffins or fills a 9×13 baking pan

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup flour
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • dash salt
  • Preheat oven at 400*

I like to blend all the ingredients in my blender. I have tried to whisk it or even use the electric mixer, but it seems to get the most smooth with a blender. Then grease your muffin tins or baking pan. My mom likes to bake these in a jelly roll pan.

Bake them for 15 minutes, or until puffy and golden on top. Use a knife to pry them out, hopefully they were greased well enough and should pop right out.

Now they are ready for toppings. Enjoy, found this had to share!!!

And Last but not least...our special kitty....


Don't you love the adornment done by our precious 4 year old. You can tell Beavis is thrilled with her makeover.


This is our cat "Beavis." She has become a legend amongst many. Anytime someone comes to our home and sees her waddle by, they get out their camera phones to take pictures. She is a sweet cat, unless you pick her up wrong, then she'll bite you, and is 15 years old. She is very obedient, and is a wonderful loving companion. About the name Beavis, she purred as a kitten just like Beavis's laugh on the MTV cartoon- Nope, Butthead is not my other cats name. It's Betsy-known as the skinny one.
