Easter Peeps Rocky Road Pie

Some pudding mix, a pre-made graham cracker pie shell and some Peeps left over from Easter make an easy and entertaining Rocky Road type pie.

Ingredients
one box chocolate pudding
1 1/2 cup cold milk
1/4 cup chopped peanuts
1 package Peeps (your favorite color)
1 9 inch Graham Cracker Crust

Directions
Separate Peeps and place them around pie crust.
Blend pudding mix and milk together. Stir in all but 1 Tbsp chopped peanuts. Pour mixture into shell, making sure to keep their heads viisible.
Top with remaining peanuts by placing them around Peeps.
Chill for at least 30 minutes.

This is an easy to make pie and it ends up making a distinct impression.

Peeps are marshmallows, right? So add a little chocolate and peanuts and you've got Rocky Road.

We had to come up with a substitute dessert when we found out our Razzleberry Pie source had packed up and left town.

Tip This pie is better after sitting in the fridge for awhile. It lets the marshmallows soften up and merge with the pie.

Two options - 1 is had some mini marshmallows in order to make it more marshmallowy

Another option is you can use a chocolate crust. I used the graham cracker because after we had handy and besides I like the contrast and flavors. But if you prefer that chocolate bomb explosion of different chocolates when you take a bite, by all means you can purchase chocolate graham crackers and even Oreo chocolate cracker crust.

The straight chocolate pudding can be a bit cloying. To help with this, try mixing half a box of vanilla pudding mix and half a box of chocolate pudding mix.

It looks like four and twenty blackbirds baked into a pie. Although, in this case, it's Peep-yellow birds.

You could say it makes a Tweety Pie.
