Tips for Using Marshmallow Peeps in Desserts

Peeps are fun and colorful, but they behave a little differently than regular marshmallows. These tips will help you get the best results when making Easter desserts.

Peeps dry out quickly: Once opened, marshmallow Peeps can become firm when exposed to air, so it’s best to make desserts the same day you plan to serve them.

Don’t make too far ahead: For the freshest texture and appearance, assemble Peeps desserts shortly before serving, especially for no-bake treats.

Add Peeps last when baking: Peeps can melt or lose their shape in the oven, so they’re best added at the end of baking or used as a topping.

Store extras properly: Keep unused Peeps sealed tightly in their package or an airtight container to help maintain their soft texture.

Let kids help decorate: Peeps are perfect for decorating, making these desserts a fun and easy activity for kids during Easter.

Keep Marshmallow Peeps Soft with These Simple Tricks

  • To keep marshmallow Peeps fresh and soft, store them in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag.
  • Avoid overpacking or squishing them together, as they can stick and lose their shape.
  • If it’s warm in your home, store Peeps in a cool place to prevent melting.
  • You can refrigerate or even freeze Peeps to extend their freshness.
  • When stored properly in your pantry, Peeps can last up to two years—although they’re so fun to eat, they probably won’t last that long!
