Homemade Bunny Peeps for ep. 5 of Better Than Store-Bought 🐰These taste SO much better than store-bought peeps and they’re made without corn syrup & artificial dyes! We use honey instead of corn syrup for the marshmallow base and naturally dyed sprinkles for coating.

Full recipe is on our website (crowdedkitchen.com) and below 👇 HOMEMADE BUNNY PEEPS (makes 3 dozen) 2 packets of unflavored gelatin (4 1/2 teaspoons) 3/4 cup cold water, divided 3/4 cup granulated sugar 1/3 cup honey or agave 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (or vanilla bean paste) 1/8 tsp salt 1 tsp powdered sugar for dusting pan Naturally colored sanding sugar & bunny cookie cutter (comment ‘LINK’ & we’ll send you what we use) Spray a quarter baking sheet (~9x13 inch pan) with cooking spray, then line with parchment paper and lightly spray parchment. Dust with powdered sugar. Add the gelatin to a stand mixer with 1/2 cup of cold water, stir and let sit for 10 mins while you make the simple syrup. Add the remaining 1/4 cup of water, the sugar, and the honey to a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir the mixture constantly until the sugar dissolves, then stop stirring and clip a candy thermometer to the side of the pan. Cook without stirring until the thermometer reads 240°F. Remove from heat, let the bubbling subside, then turn the mixer on low speed while you carefully pour the sugar syrup into the gelatin, pouring on the sides of the bowl to prevent scorching the gelatin. Beat on low for 1 min, then increase speed to high and beat for ~12 minutes, until thick and fluffy. Add in vanilla and salt and continue mixing for 2 minutes. Spray a spatula with cooking spray. Immediately transfer marshmallow mixture to prepared pan and spread into a smooth, even layer. Let sit at room temp for 6-12 hours to set. Grease the cookie cutter before cutting into bunny shapes. Coat in colored sugar and (optional) pipe melted dark chocolate for the eyes and nose. Storage instructions on our website (link in bio) #peeps #easter #homemade
