Freaking genius idea! They are SO SO DARN CUTE!!!!!! I enjoyed making them and watching them sitting in my apartment as they were also such fantastic decorations to the house. I am totally saving this recipe and making these again!!!!

Easter 2011 was at my house and there were 10 little kidlets, 3 teens and 5 "big kids" who all participated in the making of these fun little racers, and the eating of them, too. So much fun and everyone was very creative in the way they put them together. Thanks for such a great idea!

So fun! We also used Twinkies and made a speedway for them to race on (picture uploaded left). My family scarfed them down and fought the kids for the blue peep bunnies.

Cutest things EVER! These were such a hit, and everyone loved them. I wish there were more Easters in a year so I could make these more often LOL. Easy and fun. Thank you!
