Did you know that Peeps are 60 years old?
They are older than me … which is why I remember getting them in my Easter basket! I continued that tradition with my boys, but Son #3 was the only one that liked Peeps.
Speaking of Son #3 … a few days ago he asked me why I never used Vienna Finger Cookies in my blogging projects.
Son #3 (I wonder if he is reading this), this is for you …
(Son #3 doesn’t like carrots, LOL)
I bet you didn’t know … that Peeps were so athletic …
So coordinated …
And there are girl Peeps too …
I had so much fun making these for you … oh, I mean for Son #3. Peeps make me happy! Peeps make me smile!
These skateboarding Peeps were so easy and fast to make with just a few supplies …
- Vienna Finger Cookies
- Bunny Peeps
- Lifesavers – 4 for each skateboard (I used Pep o mint flavor)
- Orange Starburst candy (1 candy makes 3 carrots)
- Daisy Sprinkles
- Melted white chocolate or candy melts (I used a squeeze bottle)
Here’s the info … use the melted candy as the “glue” …
- Lay the Lifesaver on top of the flower sprinkle, add a little melted candy to glue it together. Let candy harden.
- Put a little melted candy in 4 spots on the cookie, add wheels. Allow to sit and let candy harden.
- Cut Starburst in 3 pieces, shape into a carrot, add a green daisy.
- Assemble using melted candy as the glue. You may need to hold the bunny in place for a moment … Peeps aren’t known for their balancing skills 😉
I look forward to your comments …

Way too cute! Love the Peep doing a hand stand or should I say ear stand? Pinning.

ROTFLOL I Can’t express how you have made my day. I am a woman of 66 years and I used to surf and ride the first skate boards. We would take one of our skates and pull it apart and nail them to a board and we had a skate board. They weren’t the best but it got us there faster than walking. Just seeing these bunnies on skate boards
really made me laugh. I am going to make these. Thank you so much

I used to eat peeps all the time but as I have gotten older, they became a bit too sweet for me but I do like to play with them :}………by stretching them out as far as possible before I have a section in each hand.
I will be making a carrot cake for a church dessert auction coming up next week and I just may put a couple of these skateboarders on top; just for something different. Thanks for the idea.

Maybe in place of a cake I might do cupcakes with a bunny skaterboarder as toppers.
What you think? Would these be to large for top of cupcakes?
LikeLike
Hi Colleen B. I just bought my supplies yesterday and the Vienna cookies are 2 3/4″ long so the skateboarding bunnies would be too big for cupcakes.
If you sold cake slices at the auction, everyone would want a skateboarder on their slice so that would be problematic. If you sold the cake either whole or in quarters, that would be fine. Everyone would get at least one skateboarder.
Another idea is to make the skateboarders and package them to sell in sets of 4 or 6 (so people don’t buy just one to steal the idea). They’re so darn cute everyone is going to want more than one anyway (that will be what you say to buyers & it’s the truth). By selling in sets you’d make more money for the church.
Just thinking.

Unusual Peep Alert: Just came from Target where they not only had Peep bunnies but they had Peep HELLO KITTIES. The kitties are the same height as the Peep bunnies, but they’re sitting down (feet facing forward), They have pink outfits with pink flowers in their “hare” (pun intended). Riding a skateboard they’d be sure to tickle the fancy of little girls (as well as us not so little girls). Hello Kitty could be like a little girl just learning to skateboard (by sitting rather than standing).
Hello Kitty Pals (as they’re called) were not next to the regular Peeps so look down every Easter aisle at Target.
Can’t wait for Easter as the skateboarding Peeps are gonna be the talk of the town. Plan to put one at each place setting. For a summer party, the skateboarders would also be fun – IF we can find Peeps during the summer. Can you freeze Peeps?
Thanks again for this wonderful idea.

You must have Peep radar! I’ve seen many … but never Hello Kitty!
I just checked the Peeps website about freezing … all I could find was comments from people to like to eat their Peeps frozen.014 I just checked my package … it has an expiration date of October 2014!!!
I know that it has become popular for Peeps to be made for a variety of holidays … not sure about summer. We’ll just be forced to frequent candy isles in Target 😉
Happy skateboarding!

Hi George, I hope that when I’m 87 years old that I’ll still be doing these fun things!
