ingredients

1 box (18.25 ounce size) white cake mix (plus ingredients needed to prepare)
white frosting
grated coconut
green food coloring
Marshmallow Peeps (yellow, pink, white, blue or lavender)
Peeps jelly beans or Teenee Beanee gourmet jelly beans

directions

Bake cupcakes as per directions on box and frost.

Color grated coconut with green food coloring and place on top of each cupcake.

Top with Marshmallow Peeps (one sits perfectly on a cupcake) and add a few Peeps Jelly Beans or Teenee Beanee Gourmet Jelly Beans (they make great eggs).

cook's notes

If you don't like coconut, use green sugar sprinkles. You don't get the same "grass" effect as the coconut, but you might like the taste better. Another option is to pipe a "nest" of green icing to encircle the top and place a Peep in the center. Sprinkle with colored sprinkles for a finishing touch.

    I experimented with the Marshmallow Peep Cupcakes recipe. I made a few changes. First, I used a larger size cupcake pan. Second, I used marshmallow egg swirlers for the egg shells. I just cut around the inside of the egg swirlers so the peeps would fit. This was easy and looks great. My grandkids just love this eggstra-special treat for Easter. Jan
