How do you eat your marshmallow Peeps? Can I confess to you that I like to eat them stale, but I also like them sitting on top of Party Peeps Eclair Cake Cups.
Easter is only a week and a half away. Have you started to think about what desserts you will be serving? One of my all time favorite Easter treats are marshmallow Peeps, so I knew I want to incorporate these fun sugar coated marshmallows into a fun dessert that my kids would gobble up.
My mom used to put them in our Easter basket every single year. The on thing that she always did was to open the package and divide them up between our baskets. Now you know the problem this presents right? Easter grass was always stuck on the Peeps.
The other problem with open Peeps? They get stale. Now trust me…that is NOT a problem. Peeps are the best once they get stale. (I have been known to open a package of Peeps and then shove them in the back of the cupboard for a month.) Best thing ever!!!!
When I was at Walmart a few weeks ago, I noticed they had a few new Peep flavors to choose from. I saw these bright blue chicks and I was smitten. They are party flavored Peeps and they have some fun glittery sugar colors sprinkled on them. I brought them home and there they sat until the day I decided to make some pudding cups. But not just any pudding cups…these are a fun variation of Eclair Cake pudding cups.
Hello, Party Peeps Eclair Cake Cups! Say that 10x fast!!!
I added a whole cup of party chip dry cake mix into my pudding and whisked away. I wasn’t sure how adding cake mix to pudding was going to turn out, so I had to take a big bite…for product review 
The pudding tastes just like cake batter!!! You know you all lick your bowls clean when you make cake too. The best part of this pudding…you don’t have to worry about those pesky eggs!
Look at all the layers in these pudding cups. I layered graham cracker crumbs with the cake batter pudding (look at the fun sprinkles in there!) and ended with a chocolate icing topping. The marshmallow Peep got a bed of Cool Whip to sit as the topping. Don’t you just want to dive right into these cups???
I have some more fun for all my blog peeps today…a huge Peeps giveaway and a fun Peeps Hop Along. You definitely want to check out all these great ideas!!!

Easy no bake pudding cups topped with a marshmallow Peep is a fun way to serve dessert this Easter. The pudding mix gets a fun cake batter flavor from adding a dry cake mix when mixing.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Whisk together the pudding mix, cake mix, and milk for 2 minutes. Fold in the Cool Whip. Layer the graham cracker crumbs and pudding in small jars.
- Place the frosting in a microwave safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds. Stir and repeat until pourable. Top each pudding cup with a large tablespoon of melted frosting. Refrigerate until set. Top with extra Cool Whip and marshmallow Peeps before serving. Makes 16 - 4 oz. jars.
Notes
If you don't have any jelly jars, you could also layer this in an 8x8 baking dish.

I too am a fan of stale Peeps. As soon as I bring a package home, I cut open a slit in the plastic and leave them out to dry. They are best that way!

I love to eat peeps straight out of the package. I don’t set out to make them intentionally stale, but I’ll eat them stale anyway.
Not only are these super adorable but I am seriously in LOVE with the idea of a no-bake eclair! So decadent and wonderful!!

I am loving all these peep desserts! I am also a fan of eating them stale, I’m glad I am not the only one. These eclair cakes look almost too cute to eat but I don’t think I can go another day without that pudding.

All Peeps deserve to sit on a soft little nest like Eclair Cake Cups … not Easter basket grass! Love it … pinned it!

I love eclair cake, and never thought of making it in jars, so cute and clever. our little peeps are so cute sitting on top of the jars!
It was a fun twist on the eclair cake, but I can’t take credit for it…there are plenty of eclair cake jars if you google it
I just added cake batter and Peeps to change it up!
Jocelyn Brubaker recently posted..10 Tips For Eating Healthy Lunches on the Go
I had to laugh when I read that you open a package of Peeps and squirrel it away for a month until they’re perfectly stale. I do that, too, but I like to think of the stale Peeps as being ripened. LOL! That’s my favorite way to eat them, but I also love them fresh from the package.
hahaha! Ripened peeps are my favorite way to enjoy them!!! Love it!

PEEPS rock!
I like to use peeps as decoration, like on top of cupcakes!
Can we still be friends if I confess that I don’t really like Peeps? I still LOVE this recipe because it’s so darn cute and sounds delicious! I could just give my Peep to my 6-year-old and eat the rest, right?
