Do we love them because they are pure sugar, or do we love them because they are pure sugar and only available at certain times of the year???
Yeah, I got the amazing wall of Peeps for Valentines Day. Walked
into the kitchen to discover about 20 packages of the strawberry Peeps stacked up in a clever tower design.
I’ve got my eye on you Gazelle. Not in the good way either. You can tell because I’m typing with my brow all furrowed.
Yeah! If you microwave them beckwall, or too be completely honest any marshmallow, they puff up. I think it has something to do with plutonium but I’m not sure. Just be sure to stand back from the microwave when you do this.
And don’t nuke 'em too long. First they get puffy, them melty and gooey (still real puffy), then they go into meltdown mode and you’re left with a charred lump of once fluffy goodness.
The… uh… Valentine Peeps… were they *flavored**or just red? And were they chick-shaped or the less good flat ones like the bunnies? (I didn’t see any Valentine Peeps… Why didn’t someone tellme about Valentine Peeps? I’m hurt.)
-Rue. (peep)
Psst! Anyone looking to send candy corn to the depths of hell - I happen to live firmly in said depths.
I promise, on my honor, to dispose of them properly.
But you can keep your Peeps. [yay, that rhymes!] Or send 'em to Rue. I don’t think they’re evil incarnate, but they just don’t rock my world. One of the few candies I can resist!
Easter – Peeps and Bunnies (NO BUNNIES! Gotta have the chicks!), and two kinds of “eggs” - vanilla cream and strawberry cream.
Halloween – pumpkins and ghosts as well as cocoa-flavoured bats
Christmas – christmas trees, snowmen (I think), stockings (I think), and gingerbread-man-flavoured, uh, gingerbread men (taste more like rich sugar cookie dough. mmmm!)
Valentines Day – strawberry red hearts.
There could be more, but I see Peeps so often. I still adore them, though!
mmmmmmmmmm…Cadbury Creme Eggs. [sup]TM[/sup] My favorite Easter candy! I like Peeps too. The yellow chicks. The true Peeps. All others are imposters. All others are abominations.
