don't know about you, but I love peeps.... A peep is a marshmellow shaped like a chicken or bunny, (although the line is expanding) and then covered in colored sugary goodness. Used to just come in pink and yellow, but now there is blue, purple, white, you name it..

And here I was hoping for a thread about peep shows.

Yes! Very very good. Though the more you eat, the more you wish you stopped at one package. :P

I think it actually says that right on the back of the package..... You are marketing guru....... I too love the peep. God giveth the stale peep....

for those of you who love the stale peeps, you can always take a package, slit open the plastic, and just set the box up on top of the fridge where you forget about it for a bit........ It's almost as if there was a little slice of heaven, but in the shape of a yummy pink bunny.

I think I could forgo an Easter more easily without eggs than an Easter without marshmallow peeps. If you still need to go shopping for peeps, wear this into the store:

actually, they are delicious....imagine one of those marshmellow eggs, the chocolate covered ones.... take the chocolate off, replace it with colored sugar crystals, shaped in a bunny or chick shape, and you have the almighty peep.

Peeps are just a part of Easter. Otherwise they'd be gross.

But nostalgia doth have a privelige.

You guys ever try microwaving peeps? Also, it's fun to stick a toothpick in the front of two peeps, put them on a plate facing each-other, and then microwave 'em. The'll blow up and stab eachother with the toothpicks. Peep jousting!

They also hold the souls of all those chickens that were never born because people ate their eggs.
They gotta go somewhere ;)

I've never heard of them before, but from this description, they sound disgustingly sickly.

They're horrid.

puffs of marshmallow covered in colored sugar with cute little eye dots.

Peeps are evil. Jellybeans Forever! :D

Peeps are pretty cool an Easter Tradition. I don't really eat them much more than around Easter though. (go Stephen Colbert's "The Word" Marketing!) and if you don't feel like eating them... it's really fun to put them on paper plates and into the microwave >__>

this is my first easter as a vegetarian, so i got some gelatin-free marshmallows.

they're ever so slightly funky, but the moral superiority is worth it.

Are they shaped like broccoli spears?

Think of the irony of eating little chickens made from vegan marshmallows. :D

they used to be my favorite easter candy growing up (the yellow ones, only the yellow ones) but now, the microwave is the only place the peeps to go.

i can't imagine it would be more ironic than eating a veggie burger.

Don't get me started on vegetarian products shaped and flavored as meat products. That's worth it's own thread. :p

But the ultimate in frivolous foods, the peep, is a special laugh. :)

Peeps are major cultural icon in the US. And now Peep Art is spreading. http://www.theblessingfamily.com/steve/peepart/main.html

Back in the 90s my hag and I used to have a tradition of going out to the lake every spring to roast peeps over an open fire. Because of the sugar coating, they don't roast like regular marshmallows. They mostly just go up in flames. So we took to naming them after co workers then setting them on fire. :p
