Directions

Step one
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray 11x17-inch rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper.
-
Step two
Beat cake mix, water, eggs and oil in large bowl with an electric mixer on low speed until blended, about 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes.
-
Step three
Divide batter evenly into 3 small bowls, about 1-1/4 cups each. Stir a few drops of food coloring into each bowl to make 3 different colors of batter. Pour each color batter onto one third of the baking sheet and spread evenly.
-
Step four
Bake 15 to 18 minutes, until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack. Invert onto work surface and remove parchment paper. Use the rim of a half-pint jar to cut into 24 circles or break each color into small pieces.

Step five
Beat heavy cream in a large bowl with an electric mixer on low speed until thickened, about 2 minutes. Slowly beat in confectioners’ sugar until blended. Beat in cream cheese and vanilla until blended. Beat on medium speed until thick and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Step six
Divide and layer cake and filling evenly into twelve 1/2-pint jars. Crumble cake scraps and sprinkle onto jars. Top each with a PEEPS® Party Cake Marshmallow Chick.
