# What You’ll Need:
→ Chocolate Layer
01 - 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
02 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
→ Marshmallow Layer
03 - 18 Peeps marshmallow chicks or bunnies, any color
→ Dippers
04 - 12 graham crackers, broken into pieces
# How-To Guide:
01 - Set oven temperature to 400°F.
02 - Place chocolate chips and butter in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet. Heat in oven for 3-4 minutes until mostly melted. Remove and stir gently until smooth.
03 - Distribute Peeps marshmallows in a single layer over melted chocolate, covering entire surface.
04 - Return skillet to oven and bake for 4-6 minutes until Peeps are puffed and lightly golden. Monitor closely to avoid burning.
05 - Let cool for 2-3 minutes. Serve warm with graham cracker pieces for dipping.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The Peeps get this incredible toasted caramelized exterior while staying impossibly soft inside
- Everything melts together in one pan so cleanup is practically nonexistent
- People absolutely lose their minds over the colorful presentation
02 -
- The chocolate continues melting even after you remove it from the oven, so pull it when it still has some unmelted chip shapes visible
- Different colored Peeps can have slightly different melting times, so rotate the skillet halfway through if you notice uneven browning
03 -
- A sprinkle of flaky sea salt over the chocolate before the Peeps go on cuts through all that sweetness perfectly
- If your chocolate starts to seize, add another teaspoon of butter and stir vigorously to bring it back to silky smooth
