Got Peeps?
by Heidi at Betty Crocker 3/26/2008 12:41:00 PM

People seem to love or hate Peeps. I’m not really a fan as far as eating them, but I can’t help but laugh at the clever ideas they inspire. Check out this contest sponsored by a local newspaper and this one that the Washington Post sponsored last year. Makes you think of Easter candy in a whole new way, doesn’t it?

As I'm getting older, I find it increasingly difficult to eat more than one peep per peep season. But, I like the variety of colors that peeps are now coming in and the variations of peep forms these days. Then there are all of the rumours about what happens to peeps if you microwave them. I've never tried it.

Too funny. I don't particularly love peeps, but I do end up eating them every year. I like putting them in the freezer before eating.

They're as good as Zoloft or Valium. I put in in the microwave for 15-20 seconds and watch as their little heads puff up and explode. "Die, bunny, die!" After that, slightly burnt, delicious! What!? I sound weird? well, it's better than throwing things and a lot more satisfying.

I have always loved PEEPS! I have raised 4 childrento love PEEPS AND NOW I HAVE ONE GRANSON WHO LOVES peeps. Our way of eating PEEPS is to open the package and letting them become stale( at least 3-4 days). Some things are just as great when you get older as they were when I was younger!(?).

Who can live without Peeps! I'm a Weight Watcher Lifetime member and even figured out how to add them in without adding a single pound. After all, they are fat-free. They are especially good microwaved on a graham cracker.

forthgb--That's hysterical. I call that good anger managment. I'm told (of course I don't know from my own experience), that if you put two Peeps in the microwave facing each other with a strategically placed toothpick in each, it will appear they are fencing.

PEEPS have got to be somewhere in the food pyramid, some place were they're safe and waiting for all of us who really appreciate them!! I LOVE them frozen and what the uninitiated would consider to be "stale". I've floated one in hot cocoa before and it was good! The bottom got really soft and mushy(cocoa was much to hot to drink at the time!) I think I'll be PEEPS rancher in my next life,lol.

Heidi - you should've been there the night I decided to cook chicken fried steak. several minutes AFTER I stopped pounding, my husband came in and apologized. Then there's the time I taught the Sunday school class to make breadsticks for communion. I couldn't get them to use muscle to knead the bread until "Just pretend the dough is the rotten kid who stole your milk money." Whammo! The next best way to have peeps is stale and frozen.

What is the history of peeps? When were they invented and by whom? When were they introduced into the marketplace?
