You know when you see something online, and you’re all, “I’m so going to make that.”

And when you try it, it’s a big flop?

Such was the case with this darling recipe for Graham Cracker Peep Houses that I found through TipJunkie, as originally demonstrated on Kasey Buick One Girl Talks.

Aren’t they cute?

Here’s how ours turned out:

I just couldn’t get the dern icing to hold the graham crackers. The kids were sure cute making these, though.

I had Wilder hold one house steady so it would look finished:

There we go!
Sort of.
You will need: peeps, grahams, icing, edible grass (I could only find that at Target)
Just follow the tutorial here.

And if it doesn’t turn out perfect, no one will blink an eye.
It’s really to eat anyway.
Also I had an idea to create a healthier version using Club Crackers (the house), peanut butter (the glue), skinny slices of celery (grass), and a bread bunny or bird (using a cookie cutter).

On another note, the Cottage Collective’s Grand Opening this weekend was a big hit!

There was even live music in the courtyard:
