We put together a roundup of some Halloween Peeps recipes to try out for your upcoming Halloween party.

Starting off simple, this idea uses Halloween Peeps in the place of marshmallows for a spooky s’more. All you need is the classic s’more ingredients: chocolate, graham crackers, and in this case, Peeps. Content creator @thedailyammie used a s’more maker machine, but pop a Peep in the microwave (or make the s’more in the air fryer) and you will have the same result.

Mini Halloween Peeps Pies aka Spooky S’mores Pie from last year 👻 #smores #minidesserts #pies #peeps #chocolate #minifood #marshmallows

This mini treat is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. All you need is mini pie crusts, chocolate, and Peeps to make this tiny treat. Content creator @lifeandsprinkles used the pumpkin and monster Peeps, creating a spooky variation of the classic s’more. 

Halloween Peeps Treats

Content creator @kristinsfriends put a twist on the typical rice krispie treat by using Halloween Peeps instead of normal marshmallows. To make this recipe, alternate layers of Peeps and rice crisps in a pan. Add in some butter squares, melt the Peeps, and mix the rice krispies and Peeps, and you have a colorful and spooky treat. Cut the mixture into squares and add another Peep on top for an extra layer of Halloween spirit.

This simple s’mores dip is sure to be a hit anywhere you take it. Made with only chocolate chips and Peeps, put a layer of each in a pan and throw it in the oven. Content creator @bestfriendsforfrosting chose to dip graham crackers into her creation to keep with s’mores tradition, but feel free to get creative with other treats like pretzels or crackers as dippers. 

Chocolate Covered Halloween Peeps Pops

Forget Starbucks cake pops. Make your own Halloween Peeps version right at home. Content creator @sweetly.jamie used ghost Peeps on a stick for this recipe. Simply dip your ghost Peep in chocolate and sprinkles. She opted for a purple sprinkle mix, but it’d be more festive or spooktacular to use Halloween sprinkles to make this sweet treat even spookier. 

Halloween Peeps Jar Decor

@cherishlarsen

Spooky Cute – Peeps in a Jar 👻🎃 The only thing I have to worry about when creating these fun arrangements, is keeping the kids away from them! The large jar is a gallon size, and I used about 6 little ghost packs. The smaller jar is a 1/2 gallon, and you’ll want 5 pumpkin packs. Everything you see here is linked in my LTK shop!

Not sure what recipe you want to make yet with your Peeps? No problem. Store them in a jar while you decide between the many possibilities these sweet treats offer. Content creator Cherish Larsen used the ghost and pumpkin Peeps to outline the edge of a large jar, and placed a smaller jar wrapped in twinkle lights inside. The result was a spooky and fun way to store your Peeps when you aren’t yet sure what creative recipe you want to pursue.
