- Add brown sugar to the space in the center of the Peeps, pressing gently to pack.

It is a very pretty jar full but when I made it according to the recipe it was floating with butter. I tried it again and used half the butter. It was better but still did not make like a cookie bar. I will add an egg next time to make it cook together more. Has anyone else had this problem?
