Ever since I made my White Chocolate Peeps Cookiewiches for Easter earlier this year, I have kind of had a thing for coming up with decadent cookiewiches just for special occasions and holidays. 









My Easter cookiewiches were followed up a few months later by the Blue Velvet & Raspberry Buttercream Cookiewiches I made for the 4th of July. 









And since it has been over 5 months since I have posted a new cookie-wich recipe, I thought why not come up with one that would be perfect for celebrating New Year's Eve with? ;)









I had a vision in my head for exactly how I wanted these cookie-wiches to look, but I ran into one tiny snag- I couldn't find the exact sparkling gold and silver sugars I had pictured in my mind! I searched my local craft store and all the area grocery stores. I even searched Amazon to no avail. 









Then I remembered my good friends over at Chocoley and thought why not click on over there and take a look? And sure enough they had exactly what I was looking for in their Gold & Silver Sheen Metallic Sugar Crystals Set! Sparkling perfection, folks.









These Sparkling Champagne Cookie-wiches are rich, decadent, and fun, just like how every New Year's Eve celebration should be... :)

White Chocolate Peeps Cookiewiches

A Peeps marshmallow buttercream is sandwiched between two white chocolate pudding cookies in this perfect sweet treat for Easter or spring...











I told you all earlier this week when I posted my recipe for S'mores Bunny Graham Bars that I felt like I owed you all some serious Easter recipes this year since I pretty much slacked in that department last year.





I am making good on that promise with this recipe for White Chocolate Peeps Cookiewiches.
Seriously. What says Easter more than Peeps, my friends? ;)





You may be scanning the photo above wondering where in the heck are these Peeps I am talking about. Well folks, I melted them down and turned them into that pretty pink buttercream you see sandwiched between those soft, thick cookies there. Yep, the Peeps are in the frosting! :)
