PEEK-A-BOO PEEPS® BUNNY BROWNIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Line 9-inch square pan with foil, allowing some to hang over edges of pan. Spray bottom with cooking spray.
• Make and bake brownies as directed on box. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
• Remove brownies from pan using foil edges as handles; carefully remove and discard foil. Transfer brownies to serving platter or cutting board. In small bowl, mix frosting and green gel food color, mixing well. Transfer frosting to decorating bag fitted with grass tip; pipe onto brownies.
• Cut PEEPS® bunnies at varied heights, and place 6 on top of frosting, spacing randomly across top. Add sprinkles.
• To serve, cut brownies into 4 rows by 4 rows; add remaining PEEPS® bunnies, so each brownie has a bunny.

PEEPS® COOKIE NESTS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, stir cookie mix, butter and egg until dough forms. Shape dough into 20 (1 1/2-inch) balls. Place balls 3 inches apart on ungreased large cookie sheets.
• Bake 9 to 12 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Measure 1 1/4 cups frosting into each of 3 small bowls. Stir red gel food color into 1 bowl to desired color, stir yellow gel food color into 1 bowl to desired color, and stir blue gel food color into 1 bowl to desired color.
• Working with 1 color at a time, transfer frosting into decorating bag fitted with star tip. Leaving 3/4-inch circle near center of cookie, pipe a continuous swirl of frosting around to within 1/2 inch of edge of cookie. Top with another swirl of frosting to build up "nest" with a small well in center of cookie.
• Add 3 jelly beans to center well of cookie; top with PEEPS® chick. Continue for remaining cookies and frosting colors.
