This Peeps s’mores dip is a perfect way to put that extra Easter candy to good use. The melty chocolate and gooey marshmallows are just begging for you to dig in with graham crackers.
If you don’t have extra Easter candy, this is a good excuse to get more! Of course you can make it other times of the year as well, but the Peep smore dip is a perfect excuse to turn whatever is left in the Easter basket into a fun dessert dip.
Use chocolate bars, chocolate eggs, or even chocolate chips to make the melted chocolate layer. Cover them with colorful Peeps marshmallows and broil it until they are golden and gooey.
All you need are some graham crackers to dig in with! This sweet dip; is one everyone is going to love.
All the Easter Candy
If you are anything like me, you have a love/hate relationship with Easter candy. At first, like in any new relationship, it is all love.
Chocolate eggs and jellybeans, where have you been all my life? I have missed you so. Please come around more often.
Then Eater comes and the candy multiplies. Why yes, I will have another peanut butter egg. Thanks for asking! Then by a couple days after Easter, all your favorites are gone.
How does a whole bag of those mini eggs disappear into thin air like that?! (Don’t judge… they are so little and soooooo good!)
By midweek after Easter I just can’t with the candy any more. WHY IS THERE SO MUCH?!
How did it get to be everywhere? When will it be gone?

Recipe Alterations and Substitutions
If you don’t have any plain chocolate candy to melt down, you can always use chocolate chips. In fact, semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips would help to keep the dip from getting too sweet.
Alternatively, you can use regular marshmallows instead of Peeps. Either way, they will be gooey and delicious even if the regular marshmallows are less colorful and cute.
You can use animal crackers, vanilla wafers, or even pretzels as dippers instead of graham crackers. Or use Teddy Grahams if you want to take the cuteness factor up another notch.
You don’t have to use a cast iron skillet for this recipe, any oven safe skillet will do. Or you can put the melted chocolate mixture in a pie plate or square baking dish and top with the Peeps.
Peeps S’mores Dip
Ingredients
- 1½ cups chocolate candies
- 4 Tablespoons milk or cream
- 2 3 oz. packages Peeps
- Dippers such as animal crackers or graham crackers
Instructions
- Preheat the broiler to low and make sure the oven rack is in the middle position.
- In an 8 or 9 inch oven safe skillet, melt 1½ cups chocolate candies and 4 Tablespoons milk or cream over low heat. Stir frequently to avoid burning the chocolate. Cook until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Arrange 2 3 oz. packages Peeps over melted chocolate. Place on the middle rack under the hot broiler. Broil until the Peeps are gooey and golden brown. This should take about 5 minutes, but keep a very close eye on it so you don't end up with charred mallows. Unless that's how you like your marshmallows, then char away!
- Serve warm with your favorite dippers like animal crackers, graham crackers, or pretzels.

Carlee, this is not only looks absolutely delicious, it looks like a lot of fun too. Who could resist those toasted bunnies, they are so colorful and you know they will be gooey, tasty, good. What an original idea, you amaze me each week with your originality.
Thank you, Nikki! Peeps are one of those foods that I like better toasty and gooey! Plus it is hard to go wrong with melted chocolate.
We didn't have any leftovers, but this looks like something my kids would love! Thanks for sharing at Merry Monday! 🙂
Maybe next year! 😉
Such a neat idea! 🙂
Thanks for joining Cooking and Crafting with J & J!
Thank you!
You torched your peeps! I knew I liked you 😉 Also, there's a small typo up top but I beg you not to change it because it's so appropriate. You called Easter "Eater." Thanks for joining us again at Saucy Saturdays, Carlee. Always love seeing your stuff.
Ha, I did! I will leave it just for you as it does seem quite appropriate!
I'm not a huge fan of peeps (or plain marshmallows), but I do LOVE s'mores…this is such a great idea!!!

This is a great way to use them since they have a habit of appearing this time of year! Thank you!
What a great idea for Peeps! My sister-in-law had 8 boxes when I dropped in yesterday, now I'm wishing I'd grabbed a few. My hubby loves Peeps and S'mores, so this is right up his alley!
Aw man, you should have! This is a great way to use some up!
I'm not a fan of those peeps, but I have to say, this is a great way to use them!! My family would love it!
They aren't my favorite either, but it seems like there have to be some around at Easter anyway. Usually my family loves watching them expand in the microwave when making indoor s'mores but this was even more fun than that!
Omigosh Carlee, this looks amazing. I wish I was THERE! lol
You should totally move closer!
What a great way to use up Peeps Carlee! Have a nice weekend.
Thanks Julie!
Carlee, have I mentioned you're brilliant??!!! Toasted them peeps right up and with the addition of chocolate and cream, now they are Peeps Perfect!!
Ha! Thanks Andrea! I can't wait to hear all about your weekend trip and your birthday!
