Getting Marshmallow PEEPS in my stocking was a tradition growing up and I absolutely love that they are constantly keeping the holidays fun with their new offerings. Just tried PEEPS Delights: Sugar Cookie and oh my. They tasted like rich and buttery cookies and so much more.

I absolutely adore how cute the PEEPS Marshmallow Trees are and knew that I wanted to make a holiday recipe with them. I didn't want these to be ordinary, so I spent time thinking of ways to make them super unique. Instead of serving traditional cupcakes I decided to set a little Christmas scene instead using frosted graham crackers. Totally loving these!

Marshmallow PEEPS Christmas Tree Cupcakes Recipe

Here's what you need to make these:

12 Prepared cupcakes with White or Vanilla Cake Mix (Follow directions on the box)

(1) Containers White Frosting

6 Graham Cracker Sheets (halved)

(12) PEEPS Marshmallow Trees

(12) Square Shaped Taffy Candy

Holly Berries & Leaves Sprinkles

White Ball Sprinkles (Nonpareils or Sugar Pearls)

Mini Marshmallow Sprinkles

First make your cute little gifts. Using a toothpick and a tiny dab of frosting, adhere holly berries & leaves sprinkles to the top of each candy gift as the bow. Set aside to dry.

Add a thin layer of frosting to each of the cupcakes and dip each into white ball shaped sprinkles and set aside.

Frost each piece of graham cracker. Then create your cute little Christmas scene by adding the cupcake and pressing it into the frosting on the graham cracker and adding a candy gift and a PEEPS Marshmallow Tree to each. Then, fill in the space by pressing mini marshmallow sprinkles into the frosting. Let all of the frosting set before serving and handle with care.

  1. Marshmallow Peeps are my absolute FAVORITE! I love incorporating them into recipes, especially with their holiday edition marshmallows. I'm dying to try the Sugar Cookie & Gingerbread flavored PEEPS now! These Christmas Tree cupcakes look so cheerful and delicious---they definitely get me into the holiday spirit!

  2. These cupcakes are so cute and festive. I had no idea that there were Peeps in holiday flavors but now I will be on the lookout for them.

  3. Peeps are my favorite things. I usually wait until after the holidays and buy a bunch of them really cheap to keep on hand for a few months. The only issue is they get really stale and hard lol. But I did them in cocoa or make them the topping for tea. They are just great and I can't say enough great things about my wonderful peeps. I would be heartbroken if they where ever discontinued!

  4. how cute is that to use peeps with a cupcake! so cute with the Christmas tree peeps, but also to keep in mind for other holidays!

  9. They have sugar cookie Peeeps? I am getting some! I am one who LOVES Peeps.... you either love them or hate them and I am on the former.
