Don’t remember eating a perp as a kid. I tried one as an adult. One and done for me. My girl child liked them. But not for eating. At almost 2 years old she took her Easter basket in the other room. She returned and announced that all her peeps went potty. Indeed each one was wet from the middle down.
They were trashed. That was the last of peeps in our Easter festivities.
I'm not a big peeps fan . We have found out over the years, if you let them go stale, they are a totally different "Animal". (A year or so works well) They become HARD candy. Very interesting eating experience. Rather like eating styrofoam. Fun for young and old alike. Actually fun the first or second time. The bunnies then stay on the back of the snack shelf, until the next Easter. Then you throw them away. Enjoy!
Peeps are for entertainment, not eating at our house. My grandkids & I loved watching peeps “grow” in the microwave. They enjoyed seeing them explode- me, not quite so much due to the mess to clean up because the pastel buzzards never would resurrect themselves despite it being Easter. We mastered the fine art of hitting the off button nanoseconds before Blast-off with our 2nd batch of grandkids.
I admit I ate Peeps as a kid, and liked them. Over time, I converted over to the non-Peep eating group, which preceded my Republican to Independent to Democrat conversion. Maybe they are related.
Just reading the words, "Dating Jesus blog", made me smile. There were some good discussion there. And RIP, leftover!
I do love watchng the Peeps puff up in the microwave. Peepzilla! Homemade Peeps sounds like a lot of work. Bunny Butts is a clever concept, but I lack the skills to make the cute li'l critters shown in the post. However, melting the little guys down to make this snack sounds like an achieveable, grandchild-friendly project. https://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/layered-peeps-crispy-treats
Not only delicious, but educational! https://www.sciencebuddies.org/blog/science-activities-peeps
Oh, awesome!
Someone I know once used them as the base for placecards on the dinner table.
That’s a great idea!

These are amazing.
Loved the Dating Jesus blog, loathe peeps. But is nuking them worth the mess?
A little bit, yes.

I find that inspiring. Your girl Knew Stuff.
ummmmm...so does that mean the rest of us can divvy up your share? Asking for a friend...
Yes. Right after the grandtwins and I blow them up in the microwave.
Time to live our Easter promise.
To feed the hungry,
Clothe the naked,
Visit the sick,
Release the prisoner…
To love more than we hate.
Amen.

It sounds like a beautiful family tradition.

For entertainment, not ingestion. I like that.
I have met people who say they like Peeps.
I have even met someone who copped to eating "circus peanuts."
Omg!!
NOW WE HAVE AN ISSUE. I hate those, too.

I doubt I’ll make them because then I’d just blow them up. Seems like a lot of work.
