Crinkled Oranges

These little

BUNNIES have been HOPPING out of the house at a rapid pace.





The process of trying recipes to put in them started in Oregon with Tiffany.




 We made 3 different versions (no one seemed to mind being the guinea pigs)  and finally came up with the one we liked.


  Then when Lynn was here we perfected it even more.



Before cooking:



After cooking:



Loralee created the tags a few years ago, and I've wanted to try them for awhile.   Here is the recipe and directions we ended up with.

Layer 3/4 cup of M&Ms on bottom of jar.  Take a set of 8 Peeps and push them up against the jar. Combine the graham crackers, flour, and salt in a plastic bag and close the top.  Put the bag down inside of the peeps and up to the top of the jar.

Here are the directions on the tag:   Remove bag of ingredients from jar.  In a bowl combine with the dry ingredients ½ cup butter, 1 egg,  1 teaspoon vanilla.    In an 8x8 pan spread batter onto bottom of the pan.  Sprinkle the M&Ms over the mixture.   Snip the bunnies into bits with kitchen shears and sprinkle over the mixture.  Bake in 350 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes until they are golden brown.   Cool completely and cut into bars.  Enjoy!

Here is the list of ingredients:
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 sleeve graham crackers
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • Dash salt
  • 3/4 c. m&ms
  • 8 large peeps cut up


And . . .

Yep, yours are definitely cuter than mine! But I'm so grateful we did them. Everyone I have given them to loves them and wants the full recipe!
