Have leftover Easter Peeps? Here’s a super tasty way to use them up – pretty Sunflower cupcakes!

Bright and cheerful, they make for a happy dessert idea anytime of the year. These would also be a great idea for Mother’s Day! 

These fun cupcakes are very whimsical, so you can swap out the petals for different colors of Peeps if that’s what you have on hand. It’s such an easy recipe, and there’s only a few ingredients needed.

You can also swap out your cake mix for the flavor of your choice, or make from scratch if you have a favorite recipe. Save time by using canned frosting, or make your own from scratch.

Enlist the help of young ones to keep little hands busy and to make for a fun day baking together in the kitchen. These pretty cupcakes would be great for parties too, and look awesome on a buffet table.

Even better, these delectable cupcakes can be ready in about an hour. This makes them perfect for a busy day or a last minute dessert.

Whether you are looking for a super easy appetizer or a scrumptious side dish, bacon wrapped green beans are an awesome idea! Bacon and green beans pair well, and this dish takes this combo to a whole new level of deliciousness.

There are not a lot of ingredients required, keeping the whole recipe simple. Panko bread crumbs had a bit of crunch, while red pepper flakes and a touch of cayenne pepper in the coating add just a touch of “kick”.

Serve up with Ranch dressing on the side (or your favorite dipping sauce) for a crowd pleasing appetizer. Or, this recipe also makes for a flavorful side dish for any meal, and would go great along side ham at Easter!

Prep time only takes minutes, and bake time is around 8-10 minutes, so you can be enjoying this awesome dish very quickly. This makes for a great option on a busy week night too. And, this amazing dish would also make for a nice buffet table option especially with several dipping sauce options on the side.
