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! :)

In case you all have not already been counting down, Easter is less than two weeks away.
That tidbit kind of just dawned on me the other day when I pulled out at my blog planner at the start of April to start plotting my culinary creations for the next few weeks.





Oh yes... it is time for me to start pulling out the pastel sprinkled, bunny shaped deliciousness for you all. ;)  I am determined to not let the Easter season sneak up on me like it did last year.





I mean, last year I pretty much slacked in the Easter recipe department and I totally feel like I owe you all...





Seriously.  I posted just one recipe that was even remotely Easter in nature in 2013- my Carrot Cake Swirled Cheesecake.  Not that I am scoffing at the cheesecake.





It was seriously the best cheesecake that has ever come out of my oven, & I highly recommend it for your Easter dinner dessert spread.
But it may not be a dessert that everyone will appreciate.
