Peeps are amazing. At my old newspaper job, where we were frequently bored, we would make elaborate Peepscapes with props from the art director's office. One of my favorites involved a Liberace Peep playing tender Peep songs at a tiny piano, while rows upon rows of Peeps watched in adulation. Yes, we bought Peeps specifically for this purpose. No, I don't regret it.
HA! i'm late to this party but you peep-lovin people will freak when i tell you that my dad built a machine 5 years ago for Just Born that packaged their peeps (packaging machinery is exciting). which means that my whole basement was filled with 'samples' of peeps, fresh out of the factory, in all diff colors and variations. i'm talking like 500 boxes at a time- not to mention what the factory looked like. basically it was a peep orgy.
Great. Reading this just made me bust out my leftover peppermint peeps from christmas. I ate 2 and drank a beer and if my fucking stomach explodes from some kind of chemical reaction I am coming after all y'all bishes!!!!
Oh my god. I was just now logging on to distract myself from the overwhelming, mind-controlling urge to run to Walgreens and buy all the Peeps in sight. Not helping, Jezebel!
PS: I really had no idea until recently that so many people don't like Peeps. BLASPHEMY!
PEEPS OMG ONE OF THE GREATEST THINGS EVER. And as I have gotten older, I am now experimenting with the "hardening" method, which is my mom's favorite...I like them better than I used to, but still, nothing beats just ripping open the new package and devouring them when they're all fresh and squishy!
I also like "circus peanuts", which I think arguably makes me more deranged, considering "circus peanuts" aren't even remotely marshmallow-like, and yet...are. I blame my mom for that one as well. My dad thinks we're crazy and calls it "Irish food" or the "Irish diet", because he is Sicilian and therefore looks down on our eating habits. But whatever. It's all DELICIOUS.
@SisterRay73: I personally don't care for peeps at all, but I LOVE CIRCUS PEANUTS!!! Yes, they're about the most vile candy ever concocted, but they're soooo gooooodd....
Hey, now, let's not be prejudiced towards or soft, yellow, chewy friends. They may not taste great but how can you hate them? They're marshmallow chicks!
I showed my husband's grandmother, and all her old lady friends, how to perform this blowing up of Peeps at their Florida (where else?) retirement home. The old broads were delighted.
We had to sneak into the kitchen after dinner, though. In case the Man caught us.

Homemade peeps with real marshmallows might actually be good, though.

Peeps in the microwave! Then you play golf with them.

Personally, they kind of scare me.
