❓ FAQs

Do the sticks stay in place?
Yes! Just insert gently and avoid pushing too far—Peeps are soft.

Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely—make them 1–2 days ahead and store in an airtight container.

Do they need to be refrigerated?
Nope! Room temperature is perfect unless your house is very warm.

💡 Expert Tips

• Let your melted chocolate cool slightly before dipping so it doesn’t melt the Peeps
• Work quickly—sprinkles need to go on before the chocolate sets
• Use a tall, narrow bowl for easier dipping
• If sticks feel loose, dip the tip in chocolate before inserting
