Normally I don’t eat much of the Easter candy. One reason is it belongs to the boys. What kind of mother would I be if I took candy from my children’s baskets?
… um…
… licking my lips …
… never mind that question.
Anyway, I never touch the peeps. But this year we found a new peep – Chocolate Mousse dipped in Dark Chocolate.
Oh my, what a surprise! It tastes exactly like a cup of delicious hot chocolate, complete with melty little marshmallows floating on top! We only bought a couple not knowing if they would be any good. Seriously, I could eat a whole package of these.
Tonight’s dessert is – the last Chocolate Mousse Peep.

These cupcakes are a sweet two-bite size, baked in a mini muffin pan. Ingredients are simple: Mini homemade vanilla cupcakes, homemade frosting, pink sugar, jellybeans, mini marshmallows, candy “eyes” and a little bit of coconut.
To make the bunny ears, I cut mini marshmallows on the diagonal and then pressed the sticky cut side into pink sugar.

To make bunny ears, cut a mini marshmallow diagonally as shown. This works even better if the mini marshmallow is already a little skewed.

By cutting the mini marshmallow on the diagonal, one side will be fat, tapering to a point. Press the sticky cut side into pink sugar.

 

Mini Easter cupcakes - Bunnies, chicks and eggs in grass. The bunny eyes and nose are mini jelly beans cut in half. The orange chick beak is a mini jelly bean cut in half diagonally.
