Marshmallow Peeps
I am so addicted to these little things. If I see them in the store, I absolutely cannot pass them up. I got my kids some for Easter and I think I ate them all...Good thing they are Fat Free!!
Anyone else with a secret addiction? |

They're fat-free because they're 100% pure sugar!!!!!
(Even worse) Not that I'm casting the first stone or anything . . . .

Some friends and I discovered the other night that Peeps are very tasty when roasted in the manner of a regular marshmallow. The sugar carmelizes and becomes crunchy. Mmmm. Roasted Peeps.

I know they are pure sugar, so they are loaded with Calories, but I was trying to forget about that!
Did you ever melt them in a Microwave? They blow up!

They have different ones for other holidays, I think Christmas, Halloween and Valentines Day, but none of them compare to the Easter ones!

You have to let them get stale first.. that way they're nice and crunchy.
I remember once I put one in the microwave, something perfect happened inside that little chick and it began screaming as it expanded. It was beautiful.

Ugh... can't stand them. Although I can see how they might be decent when roasted marshmellow-style, and turned into little peep-s'mores.
Funny story about peeps. My friend's mom sent her a pack of them, even though she hates them. So she tells me she'll eat one if I eat one. So we both eat one. Then, i'm looking at something on her computer screen, and she crams another one into my mouth. I make a sound something like "Wfuoumph!" then somehow ate the thing. So a few minutes later, she tackles me, and starts shoving another one into my face. I fend her off, but I'm cracking up cause I'm being assaulted by someone with a yellow marshmellow chick in her hand. I let my guard down for a moment, and the third one landed in my mouth. She felt sorry, though, so she ate the last one to appease me .

I can eat like one.. a year. After that I am like.. no.. I am good. And on that note today my friend went to albertsons and talk to a manager there. He wanted to get rid of a basket full of peeps so my friend told him he would give him 5 bucks for the basket. He said yes so for 5 bucks he bought 164 boxes of peeps (some 6 packs some 12 packs)

I can eat one or two, but after that it becomes sickening to continue eating them.
This topic reminds me of an experiment we did in science class where we put a Peep in a "vaccuum" and it expanded to the size of a small rodent.

I've never had one ever. I should try one out once I'm not so much of a fatty.

Peeps are in the same class as Circus Peanuts.
You like them or you don't, theres no in-between. That and even if you love them you cant eat too many in one sitting.

haha I had totally forgoten about circus peanuts. I have not had those for years. My dad used to eat them all the time. Those I liked but yea I could only eat a few at a time. And as far as people letting peeps get stale that is actully a rather common thing. I have never tried them that way but I DID watch a thing about them on unwrapped (a good show btw) and they mentioned that on there. |
