You know it’s getting close to Easter when the Marshmallows Peep show up on the store shelves. I always get excited about the anticipation of Easter Peeps.
Marshmallow Peeps are soft, colorful, sugary, and fun!!
This iconic treat of pure sugar has a cult following and there are many ways to use them other than just for getting a sugar high. They now come in all sorts of colors, aside from the original yellow, although I’m a purist.
There is a whole website dedicated to Peep Recipes, Peep Crafts, and multiple contests including one from the Washington Post called the “Peep Show” I won’t even go-to the subject that comes to mind.
Heck, there is even the official PEEPS Facebook page, well of course, why not?
Peeps come out at Easter time, but aren’t just for Easter.
I bought a few to play with, had to eat the chocolate covered Peep one right away.
I do have to confess, after eating a package today at lunch (the above container) I am very sugared out and don’t think I’ll be eating anything sugary for a while.
Bleh… I guess I’m not a kid anymore, even though the marshmallows are light and airy, it’s nothing but sugar, sugar, sugar. That’s why it’s once a year for me, no matter how fun they look.
Marshmallow Peeps All Year Round
No longer do you have to wait until Easter to enjoy your favorite marshmallow peeps. Since I wrote this article I have taken notice of all the different types available throughout the year.
There is an entire marshmallow peep culture. Now that I’m a Grandmother I call my grandkids my little Peeps. So this Bunny Peep grandma gift is perfect.
