I ate magical marshmellow creations this morning for breakfast....Peeps.
These by far are the most unusual yet desirable Easter candy. Once you see their bright sugar coated goodness in front of your eyes you can barely resist to eat one. If it's a chicklet, I eat the tail first and if it's a bunny the ears come off asap.
After chomping down my first Peep on Easter morning I proclaimed out loud - "These are amazing!" and then questioned - "What are they!?" My wife promptly responded - "They are marshmallows coated in sugar, what do you
think!"
In spite, I went and ate another one.
I have been enjoying Peeps for years. Maybe it's the colored sugar or the overly processed marshmallow inside but whatever it is, Peeps are irresistible.
It is highly possible that Peeps are also, "not of this world". There has been extensive research conducted on Peep characteristics which you can read about here.
The best part about the Peep besides the sugar coated goodness is that you can pop 5 of these little chicklets in your mouth in a matter of minutes and not even feel the results of eating pure sugar. Additionally, by the time you are reading this you most likely will be able to go to the local store and buy a box a Peeps for 75% off so it should only cost you a few pennies to have a great Peep breakfast the rest of the week.

Peeps for Breakast

If you think peeps are great.. you should try them stale. I purposely buy a box about a week before I want to eat them, pop a couple of holes in the packaging, and let them get stale. Not only do they take on this great rubbery texture, but they are a little bit crunchy at this point. Call me crazy, but that's my favorite way to eat them!
ReplyDeleteI like to microwave them so they puff up really big. Then I like to call them Peep-zilla.
ReplyDeleteReid...that's awesome
ReplyDeletefor faster staleness (don't give me that look, you know you like things faster sometimes, too ...), leave them open on your car dash. TIP: this only works around Easter time or earlier when it's still relatively cool or you have a super shady parking spot. You'll have nice stale Peeps in about 36 hours, esp. useful when you have company coming in a couple of days.
