Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 package bunny peeps
- Sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Mix thoroughly using a whisk or electric mixer until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into individual triangles.
- Take each bunny peep and wrap it carefully in a crescent roll triangle, ensuring the peep is fully enclosed but with the head peeking out.
- Gently place each wrapped peep on top of the brownie batter, spacing them evenly across the surface.
- Sprinkle decorative sprinkles over the entire pan for added color and festivity.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the brownie is set and the crescent roll dough is golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before cutting into squares.
- Serve warm and enjoy the playful combination of brownies and marshmallow peeps.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, you can prepare the brownie batter in advance and store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to bake. Just remember to bring it to room temperature before pouring it into the pan.
- Perfect Peep Wrapping: When wrapping the bunny peeps in crescent roll dough, make sure to pinch the seams well to prevent any marshmallow from leaking out during baking.
- Sprinkle with Style: Get creative with your sprinkles! Use pastel colors for a festive Easter vibe or mix in some chocolate chips for an extra chocolatey treat.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so keep an eye on your brownies as they bake. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with a few moist crumbs, but not wet batter.
- Serving Suggestion: These brownies are delicious served warm, but they also make a fun cold treat. Consider pairing them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special dessert experience.
