Ingredients
  

  • 1 bag Wilton's Light Cocoa Melts
  • 10 Peeps

Equipment

  • Kitchen Knife
  • Cutting Board

Method
 

  1. Melt your cocoa melts using the microwave directions on the back of the bag. Heat an electric griddle to 200 degrees and cover with a kitchen towel. Place the bowl with your melted chocolate on the griddle to keep it warm. Add chocolate to the egg molds, filling them to the top. Pour the excess chocolate back in the bowl, scraping the top of the mold with a butter knife or spatula. Freeze molds for a few minutes until chocolate is hardened. Pop out. To prepare your Peeps, cut off the tail around the bottom of the body. Place a Peep in half of each pair of eggs. Transfer some chocolate to a squeeze bottle. Pipe the chocolate all the way around the egg and place the top half on. Press and hold to seal. Hold the egg in the freezer for 30 seconds, then leave in freezer for a few minutes to harden. Do not seal more than one egg at a time. Unless you have 6 hands!
