Our #SpringSweetsWeek sponsors are helping us give away some great prizes.

We have an incredible giveaway and you can find out all about at my Welcome Post and enter to win at the bottom of this post.

Today I am sharing a recipe that I made using Peeps instead of traditional marshmallows. Peeps provided me with several packages of chicks and bunnies for this event.  I used the packages of chicks for this treat.  This easy peasy recipe is none other than that iconic dessert called Marshmallow Krispy Treats.

It takes a bit longer because we are making 3 separate small batches so that we get the rainbow effect.  Instead of putting it into a baking pan we are going to layer it into a loaf pan.

Everybody loves Krispy treats and these rainbow treats made with Peeps chicks are sure to be a hit with your whole family.

Before I share this recipe let's take a look at what the others are sharing today.......
