How to Make a Peeps Chicks House
Carefully break each graham cracker in half. You will need 5 halves for each house you want to make.
Melt pink chocolate melts according to instructions on package and then spoon into a small plastic baggie or piping bag. If using a plastic baggie, cut the corner off so that you can use the baggie to pipe the chocolate.
Start assembling the house by laying a graham cracker down and piping a line of chocolate on each side. Stand a graham cracker up on each line of chocolate. Hold the graham crackers in place until the chocolate sets (1-2 minutes).
Next, pipe a line of chocolate on top of the two standing graham crackers. Place a graham cracker on each line of chocolate and tilt them towards each other so they meet at the top like a roof peak. Hold in place until the chocolate sets (1-2 minutes). Finally, pipe a thick line of chocolate on the crack at the peak where the 2 roof sides meet. Let this set for 3-4 minutes.
Finally, place edible grass into the bottom of the Peeps house, a Peeps chick sitting on top, and a few Easter eggs candies around on the grass.
I hope that you enjoyed this fun no bake Easter treat recipe/craft idea and that you and your family have a fantastic Easter!
