What to Do with Leftover Easter Candy
Are you still left with too much leftover Easter candy? Let Jesse Oleson help you breathe new life into your Peeps, jelly beans, and chocolate eggs with her suggestions for utilizing Easter candy leftovers. How about a leftover Easter trifle, or s'mores made out of Peeps? You can also turn a boring bowl of cereal into one dotted with Easter candies. Check out all the sugar-laden suggestions at Cakespy.

The Washington Post hosted a contest for Peeps dioramas and the results are in. Called Peeps Show, the contest inspired more than 800 entries, some riffing on pop culture, others on current and past events. My favorite was the one at right, which might be fall into the category of "suicide food," since the bunnies are toasting marshmallows 'round the campfire here. Other dioramas in the contest include a reenactment of former D.C. mayor Marion Barry's arrest, a scene from Hugh Hefpeep's mansion, and one titled "The Lion Peeps Tonight."...Photo of the Day: Easter Island (With Peeps)
Need a last-minute greeting card for Easter? Cybele made some great Peeps-inspired Easter Island postcards for your convenience. And amusement. If only it were real......Highbrow Peeps
Transform your marshmallow Peeps into classy (or classier) treats by coating them in salted caramel and dipping them in melted dark chocolate. Roopa has the recipe for these highbrow peeps at her blog, Raspberry Eggplant. I'd say the only downside to coating the Peeps in caramel and chocolate is that they ultimately look more like like chocolate lumps than vaguely chick-shaped marshmallows, but the loss of form is worth the 500% increase in deliciousness....Easy Easter Bunny Cake
Candy Addict shares an idea for a cute Easter Bunny Cake that's easy to cut and construct. Your naked bunny cake is then a blank canvas for heavy doses of frosting topped with all kinds of Easter candy....Origins of Easter Foods
Why are eggs closely tied with Easter? Why do we paint them different colors? And what's with all the bunny-related imagery? Get some basic answers from Food Timeline's page about the history and symbolism of Easter foods....Inside the Mind of a Peep Poet
For Raaven O'Quinn, Peeps aren't just pastel-colored marshmallow blobs, they are what poems are made of. About five years ago, O'Quinn fused two wonderful things, Peeps and haikus, to create PeepHaiku.com. The site allows any Peeps poet to upload 5-7-5 metered dedications to those brown, beady eyes. In the spirit of Peeps season, we electronically sat down with O'Quinn to find out why the fat-free, meatless chicks are just so darn special and have spawned other fetishistic side projects such as this dot-org Peeps Research site or Washington Post's Peep Diorama contest. (The 2008 winners will be announced in Sunday's issue). The interview, after the jump....Hot Cross Bunnies
Maki over at Just Hungry must be on a similar wavelength as our own Robyn Lee here at Serious Eats, because neither of them can resist stepping to it with the cute foods. Last year for Easter Maki made "bunny bao." This year, it's "hot cross bunnies." (Nice food pun, btw.) Over on her site she says she started with this recipe from the BBC and tweaked it a bit. From there, she shows you in pictures and words exactly how to create these little guys for yourself....Muffins for Easter: Cadbury Creme Egg Muffins
Why had I not heard about the glorious marriage of muffin and goo-filled chocolate treat before reading Nicole Weston's recipe for Cadbury Creme Egg Muffins? Weston say that while you probably wouldn't want to serve these at any regular brunch (but...but maybe I do!), they're good for Easter and may prevent you from eating a bag of Cadbury Mini Creme Eggs all at once, "since you’ll have to eat through each muffin to get to them first." I like that idea; stagger your intake of eggs by wrapping each one in a muffin....Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab

Some might say that chocolate on Valentine's Day is about as unoriginal as you can get. We all remember the first heart-shaped box of overly sweet chocolate bonbons from grade school Valentines. But chocolate gift-giving needn't be a cliché. This year, let's bake our sweethearts chocolate cakes and pies instead! Here are 8 delicious recipes perfect for celebrating your love (of chocolate.)
