  2. Scatter the grass shaped sprinkles over the top and gently press them down.
  3. Insert toothpicks into the bottoms of the Peeps and arrange them evenly spaced on top of the treats.
  4. Sprinkle the mini Cadbury eggs on top for added color and flavor.
  5. Allow the pan to sit at room temperature for 1 hour to set.
  6. Cut the bars into 12 pieces and enjoy!
