"Wonderfully Made": March 2013

Simple, easy, fun and SO yummy! All you need are:

Peeps of your choice (the bunnies just look so stinkin' cute!)

Lollipop sticks

Melting chocolate

A double boiler or Bain Marie (pictured here)

Sprinkles

And something to stand the dipped peeps up in. I use a piece of styrofoam covered in parchment paper

After the bunnies get their chocolate bath, drop the sprinkles on right away and place peeps in styrofoam until chocolate is set.

It's always a good idea to have some 'extras' to dip as there is usually chocolate left over and you don't want to waste it!

To serve the bunny peeps, I wrapped a few clay pots in fabric and tied them with a bow. I filled the pots with styrofoam pieces, inserted the peeps and filled in with Easter grass to cover the foam.

They're on display on my dining room table next to my bunny teapot and a tea cup that holds a battery-operated tea light.

The hardest part . . . keeping everyone from eating them before Easter!!

I got these for 20 cents each at the thrift store. They're cute but not my 'style' so I decided to give them a makeover.

First they received a bath of flat, black spray paint. In case they didn't know who they really are, I decided to remind them that they are in fact, each a "little goose". This was achieved with a fine-point paint pen. To complete the ensemble, each received a tiny white bow made from vintage ribbon.

It's always fun to look past the exterior of something and imagine what it may look like with a coat of paint, a covering of book pages or repurposed for an entirely different use!
