An Easter treat recipe made with pretzel sticks, melted chocolate, and colorful homemade fondant “Peeps” chicks and bunnies.

Ingredients

Scale

16 thin pretzel sticks
180 grams white fondant (4 45-gram golf ball sized balls)
Pink, yellow, purple, and blue gel food coloring
25 grams dark or milk chocolate (2 tablespoons)
Edible glitter, for dusting

Instructions

Line a quarter sheet tray with parchment or a silicone mat.

Divide the fondant into portions, one for each color you plan to make. With gloved hands, work 1-2 drops of gel food coloring into each portion. (When not in use, wrap each fondant ball in clingfilm/plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out as you work.)
