Ingredients Needed for your Peeps House:
- 5 Frosted Confetti Cupcake Pop-Tarts
- Pillsbury Creamy Supreme Strawberry Frosting
- Pastel-colored sprinkles mix ( You can also find them at Walmart)
- Easter Grass Bubblegum
- Peeps Marshmallow Bunnies
- M&M’s Peanut Butter Eggs
Tools needed:
- Knife
- Sandwich-size ziploc bag
- Kitchen Shears
Peeps House Tutorial:
Start by cutting two pop-tarts in half. Next, cut just the top corners off at an angle on two of the pop-tarts. I placed one on top of the other to cut, so that the cuts would be the same.
Place a sandwich bag open over one hand, and fill the bag with the strawberry frosting. You will only need about a ⅓ c of the icing for one Peep House. Cut just the tip of the bag using kitchen shears.
Pipe frosting onto one of the 4 halved pop-tarts on the shorter side. Immediately attach it to the back of one of the pop-tarts with the corners removed.
Repeat this process to attach another of the halved pop-tarts to the opposite side, and then attach the other pop-tart with the corners removed to the back.
Cut approximately ⅕ off the top of the last pop-tart, pipe some frosting down the sides, and then place it inside the pop-tart house to create a support. (I tried not adding the support in the middle, and the sides and roof collapsed, so be sure not to skip this step.)
Next, pipe frosting all around the remaining pop-tart halves, and place them at an angle to make the roof.
Add extra frosting around all the seams, and smooth with the knife if necessary.
Immediately add sprinkles along the seams while the frosting is freshly applied, as it helps the sprinkles stick better.
Place some of the Easter Grass Bubblegum around the bottom of the house. Pipe a little frosting on the back of the Peeps Bunnies and attach to the front and back of the house.

Last, pipe some frosting onto the grass, and place the M&M eggs around the bottom of the house. Your Peeps House is now ready to display and/or eat.
And there you have it – a cute and festive Easter Peep House made out of PopTarts!
Tips for this fun Easter creation:
- If you can’t find the Easter Grass bubblegum, you could substitute some shredded coconut with a little green food coloring.
- There are so many fun and colorful varieties of Peeps. You can switch the Peeps bunny for a chick or even do one of each! Get Creative!
- Substitute the Peep for a chocolate bunny if marshmallows aren’t your favorite.
- Are you not a fan of Pop-Tarts? Or do you need to make it a little more budget-friendly? Try building the house with graham crackers instead of Pop-tarts.
