Begin by pairing up your Peeps. You can either use all of the same color or mix it up.
Put them side by side and just kind of press them together so they stick to each other.
Pour some of the confetti sprinkles in a small dish and then set them aside.
Melt candy melts in microwave.
Carefully take your Peep bunnies and dip them into the marshmallow candy cream.
Set them on a parchment paper-covered cookie sheet and quickly sprinkle over some of the candy confetti to make it look like their blanket has little polka dots all over it.
Let the candy covered Peeps set for about 10-15 minutes before transferring them to a air-tight container or Ziploc bag.

Ensure Even Coating: When dipping the Bunny Peeps into the melted candy melts, make sure to coat them evenly for a smooth and uniform appearance. You can use a spoon or fork to help coat the Peeps completely. This ensures that each Peep is well-covered with the candy coating, enhancing both the flavor and visual appeal of the final product.
Work Quickly with Sprinkles: After dipping the Bunny Peeps into the candy melts, sprinkle the confetti sprinkles over them promptly. The candy melts may start to set quickly, so it's essential to work swiftly to ensure that the sprinkles adhere to the coating effectively. Sprinkle the confetti evenly over the Peeps to create a colorful and decorative "blanket" effect.
Allow Sufficient Setting Time: After decorating the Peeps with candy melts and sprinkles, allow them to set for about 10-15 minutes before transferring them to an airtight container or Ziploc bag. This setting time allows the candy coating to harden, ensuring that the Peeps maintain their shape and the sprinkles stay in place. Avoid handling the Peeps too soon to prevent smudging or damaging the decorations.
