Instructions

1. The vase we used pretty big and it would take too many bags of M&M's to fill it up so I put a ramekin in the middle of the vase and set a smaller vase on top of the ramekin to fill up some of the space.  I used the smaller vase to hold the stems of my artificial flowers but this would also be a great idea if you wanted to use fresh flowers.  Just fill the mini vase up with water, and you are good to go.
2. I pulled out all of the pink M&M's from a couple of bags of the Easter-colored M&M's that you can buy in the Spring and filled the bottom of the vase with them.  Then I added a row of white Peeps Bunnies.
3. Then I added another smaller row of pink M&M's, followed by a row of darker pink M&M's that I had leftover from Valentine's.  You can also buy these colors of M&M's separately at Amazon or at Party City.  Finally, I added a few white M&M's for some contrast.  The M&M's stopped at the top of the mini vase that I had in the center. Once I had the candy arranged the way I wanted it, I added my artificial flowers.
4. If the M&M's fall down into the Peeps, just use a knife to rearrange them.
5. Finally, I stuck a couple of Peeps Bunnies on BBQ skewers that I had painted green and added to the arrangement so they were sticking up out of the flowers. So cute!
