Ingredients
- 1 Twinkie
- 1 Peep
- ¼ cup white chocolate chips
- 4 Mini Oreos
- 4 Easter M&M’s
- 1 pretzel twist
Instructions
- We will start by making a seat for the bunny to sit in! With a knife, cut a 1-inch notch in the center of the top of the Twinkie. Make sure not to cut it all the way through, or you will cut the Twinkie in half.
- Melt ¼ cup of white chocolate chips in the microwave for 1 minute. Stir and heat in 30-second increments until melted.
- Use the melted chips as the glue for your Peep to secure it to the seat. Grab a toothpick or spoon and add a dollop of white chocolate “glue” to the bottom of the Peep. Gently press it in the previously cut hole for the seat.
- Next, grab a mini pretzel, dab it with melted white chocolate, and place it just in front of the Peep Bunny for the car’s steering wheel.
- Now let’s add the wheels to our car! First, take 4 mini Oreos, place a dot of white chocolate in the center, and add an Easter M&M for a cute extra detail! Allow 2 minutes to dry.
- Next, glue the “wheels” to the sides of the twinkie, parallel to each other in the front and back of the car, using the melted white chocolate. Allow at least 5 to 10 minutes to dry.
- Once dry, your Twinkie Bunny Car is complete and ready to race!

Notes
- These twinkie cars are best eaten right away. However, if you do end up having some leftovers you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days. I do not recommend freezing or refrigerating Twinkie cars.
