It’s almost Easter time and I wanted to create a fun dessert with my daughter featuring one of our favorite Easter treats: Peeps Marshmallow Bunnies!We came up with these Peeps Easter Bunny Pudding Cups and I love how these cute dessert turned out. We took them over to Ava’s friend’s house and they all enjoyed the Peep Easter Bunny and eating the chocolate cake “dirt”, the pudding and coconut “grass”, and finding the hidden Easter egg candies.
