These fun chocolate covered Peeps pops make a fun Easter treat for any age! Dip in chocolate, cover in sprinkles, and turn into a pop with the addition of a colorful straw
Line a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper.
Gently push a straw or lollipop stick into the bottom of each of your Peeps.
16 Peeps
Melt the chocolate wafers either in the microwave or using a double boiler. If melting in the microwave, place the wafers in a microwave safe bowl, ideally one that’s wide enough to dip the Peeps into, then heat in the microwave for 30 seconds on high heat. Stir then repeat, continuing in 30 second intervals until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
10 oz Ghirardelli milk chocolate melting wafers
Using the pops you created earlier, gently dip one of the Peeps into the melted chocolate and swirl around to completely coat. Tap gently on the side of the bowl to get rid of any excess chocolate and create a smooth finish.
Once coated, place the pops either into a piece of styrofoam, a cardboard box, or a cake pop holder to allow the chocolate to dry.
Place the cooled Peeps on the parchment paper lined baking sheet, keeping them a few inches apart from one another.
Melt some more chocolate and drizzle it over the Peeps, then immediately sprinkle them with sprinkles, colored sugars, and anything else you want before the chocolate hardens, so it has something to stick to!
Easter sprinkles
Let the chocolate harden completely then enjoy.
Notes
Store in an airtight container for up to five days. After that, they’re probably not going to be super tasty anymore, although they likely won’t be bad or anything.Add a tsp of coconut oil if you’re using candy melts, almond bark, or chocolate chips if you’re having an issue getting it to melt smoothly.Serve and store these in a cool location. The chocolate on the outside will begin to melt (just like any chocolate) if you have them in warm temperatures.Chocolate chips or chocolate almond bark can be used in place of the chocolate melting wafers.
