Am I the only one who hates PEEPS? Over time, the fun-shaped marshmallows have become an Easter staple in our household. Every year we’re given a box of PEEPS along with our jelly beans and chocolate bunnies to celebrate the holiday. Every year, my family has no idea what to do with them. They’re obviously cute, but we don’t like them and we don’t know anyone who actually eats them. We’re often left wondering what on Earth we should do with the (sickeningly) sweet treats — but not this year! 

In her typical fashion, Rachael Ray, along with her friend Grant, came up with a clever solution to make use of these sweets. Make them into crispy cereal treats!

Check out Rachael Ray’s recipe and the other suggestions below for some fun ideas that will make you actually want to eat those PEEPS you have left over or that you got on super sale.
