I feel like I may have discovered the world’s biggest secret and I can’t wait to share it with you all! I found the cutest Easter mini cookie cutters and I was so excited after I purchased them. Except other than mini cookies, I wasn’t quite sure what to do with them. Until it dawned on me- I could make my own version of Peeps! Now some people would make homemade marshmallows to make their own Peeps and other Easter Marshmallows, but not this lazy girl busy mom!

That’s where the secret comes in- we can make our own mini Easter marshmallows or any shape really out of regular marshmallows you buy at the store. As in, those fancy snowflake marshmallows that Martha Stewart makes at Christmas? I can now make them too! I can do snowflake marshmallows at Christmas and Chick marshmallows at Easter. The world is my oyster! In the world of marshmallows that is. ;) Read on for the technique I used to not only create my own mini Easter marshmallows, but also how I used them as cupcake toppers to make these creative Easter cupcakes!

Roll it in the sugar crystals until completely covered. Using sugar crystals is one type of decoration for these marshmallows but there are others.

I did both versions for the yellow chicks (or my own version of Peeps) so that you can see the difference. The black dot for the eye didn’t work well on the sugar crystals version, only the one that was colored in with a yellow food marker.
