Ingredients To Make An Edible Bird House

- Vanilla Frosting
- Edible Easter Grass (The green apple flavor is my kid’s very favorite!)
- Marshmallow Easter Chicks
How to Make A Peeps Bird House
Assemble – To make your graham cracker birdhouse, start by piping vanilla frosting along sides of graham crackers to create a box with a bottom and three sides, leaving the top and one side open.
The Roof – Create a roof for your birdhouse by slanting two graham crackers on the top of the graham cracker box, using the vanilla frosting as a glue to connect them.
Final Touches – Take a small amount of edible Easter grass and create a nest for your bird. Place grass in the birdhouse and put your birdie in its nest!
Variation – You can add more decorations by putting candy on the sides, or change the color of your frosting for some more color.
