CHOCOLATE COVERED PEEPS for Valentine's Day!

I know you can buy all kinds of fabulous chocolates for Valentine's Day. I have a lot of favorites, but just thought I'd lighten it up with Valentine's Day 'chocolate' offerings from PEEPS®. 

I've blogged about PEEPS before, and I love that they've expanded their line to include many holidays besides Easter. This season there are Valentine's Day fluffy, cherry flavored marshmallow hearts dipped in and drizzled with chocolate, Strawberry Creme flavored Chicks sitting on a bed of chocolate, and there's even a Chocolate-covered Raspberry Heart. Of course there are other non-chocolate PEEPS' hearts that you can dip yourself in some great dark or milk chocolate.

A few ways to enjoy PEEPS for Valentine's Day!

Eat them the way they are.
Put them in your cocoa or coffee.
Decorate your Valentine's Day presents with them.
Skewer a few Raspberry Hearts and tie it to a gift of Cocoa in a Jar!
Create a diorama using PEEPS!
Stuff a Chocolate Raspberry Heart between two graham crackers, and you have Valentine's Day PEEPS S'mores.
Place a Valentine's Day Peep in a cellophane bag, tie with a ribbon, and give as Valentine's Day cards.
PEEPS are so versatile.

I find PEEPS very nostalgic, especially at Easter, but PEEPS are available all year round and have some very cool holiday versions. With Valentine's Day coming up, I would be remiss not to mention Valentines Peeps! So stock up on these marshmallow treats for your sweetie or the kids. By the way, Peeps are gluten-free and there are several varieties of sugar-free PEEPS!  Following are some Peeps that are perfect for Valentine's Day, plus a new recipe for Peeps Sweetheart Lollipops! You can also dip these special Peeps in your Valentine's Day chocolate fondue.
