If you're looking for a new way to add Peeps into a dessert recipe, try out this insane milkshake from Katie Lee. She explained to POPSUGAR, "I created a recipe using the blueberry-flavored Peeps Chicks for a blueberry chocolate cheesecake milkshake. I actually use Peeps in the milkshake and for garnish as well. It's totally decadent and fun." The shake is decadent indeed, as it includes crumbled chocolate wafers (i.e. Oreo cookies) as the garnish. In case you're a serious chocoholic and need something richer, try out Katie's 7-layer bars, topped with a coconut-flavored Peep.
