Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 237 g water 1 cup
  • 100 g sugar 1/2 cup
  • 12 Peeps candies chicks, bunnies, or other seasonal shape

Instructions
 

  • Heat water + add sugar. Heat water over medium low heat. Add sugar and stir until it dissolves.
    237 g water, 100 g sugar
  • Add peeps. Add peeps and allow them to slowly melt. Do not turn the heat up too high, you don’t want the mix to boil, so keep it at a medium-low heat.
    12 Peeps candies
  • Cool + strain. Once the peeps melt, allow the mix to cool. Strain the syrup to remove any unmelted pieces of peep.
  • Bottle + store. Pour your finished syrup into an airtight storage bottle. Keep your syrup in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Use it in all your favorite drinks, from soda to coffee!

Notes

ℹ️ Troubleshooting tips

  • jelly syrup - if your syrup turned into jelly in the fridge, you can allow it to come to room temperature to liquify again, or pop it in a measuring glass filled with hot water to rapidly come to temperature.
  • not enough marshmallow flavor - if you want MORE marshmallow taste without adding in more peeps, you can use a special extract to boost the flavor. LorAnn makes a marshmallow extract that’s available online (affiliate link)!

🔆 top tip

Marshmallows are tricky because they contain gelatin, which, well…gels up when it’s cold. So, you need to make sure your proportions of sugar to gelatin are just right in order to stay a liquid, even when chilled.
