Ingredients

  • 1 box fudge brownie mix, designed for a 13x9 inch pan
  • 2 large eggs or how many the box calls for
  • ¼ cup water or how much the box calls for
  • ⅔ cup neutral oil or as directed on box
  • ⅔ cup chocolate chips, but measure with your heart
  • 15 or so Peeps in different colors
  • ¼ cup chopped chocolate for melting (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to whatever heat is listed on your brownie mix. It's usually 350 degrees F.
  • Grease a 13x9 inch pan and line with parchment paper. Grease again. If you don't have parchment paper you can use foil, but be sure to use plenty of shortening, butter or cooking spray because melted Peeps are sticky.
  • In a large mixing bowl, follow directions given on brownie mix to prepare brownies. I used the amounts listed, but always use the amounts listed on your box of brownie mix, as it varies by brand.
  • Add chocolate chips to the brownie batter and spread evenly in the pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or use the bake time given on the brownie mix.
  • Now here's the important step. While the brownies bake, cut about 15 Peeps into large chunks. About 5 minutes before the brownies are ready, pull from oven and scatter chopped Peeps over the top evenly. Return to the oven and bake just until the peeps start to melt. Gently (but barely) spread the melted marshmallow Peeps to cover.
  • Let cool at room temperature until ready to cut, or speed things up and cool partially in the freezer.
  • If you'd like a chocolate drizzle, melt some chopped chocolate in the microwave using one of the lower power settings and stirring often. Use a small spoon to gently fling the melted chocolate over the top of the brownies. Chill until firm.
