Easter is just a few days away and along with colored eggs and bunnies, peeps have become a worldwide phenomena. Through excellant marketing and branding, factory fresh peeps can be had nearly year round with seasonally appropriate formats. But the holiday that started it all is Easter.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like the things for any purpose other than the amusement of watching in the microwave. Even peeps ’smores do nothing for me. So I’m not going to post my reciepe as I haven’t actually tried any of these. But you might like peeps and you might have kids that enjoy making a mess. If either so these is true, these articles are from you.
The first is from Serious Eats. This recipe illustrates the most realistic results you might expect the first time out. But part of peeps’ growing acceptance into pop culture is because the look “so pathetic they’re cute.” It can’t be the taste.
The second article probably represents the best-of-the-best approach to your own personal peep factory. The peepishness of the result in not quite true to the genre but likely more edible. Take your pick and have fun!
Peepishness is not quite there - but definitely a high quality product.
I am a simple man. Dark organic chocolate will do mefine for Easter.

I never understood the popularity of Peep’s, for me it’s Moon Pie’s and RC cola. But thanks for the recipe.

I’ve never heard the term peeps before.
Very odd!

This is a new one on me, I say nuke them all.
And Steve must be from Chattanooga or Alabama with his talk of Moon Pies and RC Cola!

My girls love peeps……but they’ll be on their own this holiday, Dad will be at the hospital. Maybe we’ll try it Monday.
Thanks

My kids love peeps! I think the reason why mostly children like them is that they are the only ones young enough to withstand the super mega vein clogging power they posess.
Happy Easter!

I had never heard of peeps before. Interesting concept. I can see why they are popular.
All the best,

Easter Marshmellow Peeps! omg!
Well the thing is, I DON’T utterly love them, but indeed they are SUCH a nostalgia food that when they are around, invariably at Easter time I DO eat one or two. However, I don’t seek them out and buy them.
Unlike the Cadbury Milk Chocolate Covered Creme Eggs. mmmm moo! Now THOSE are MY favorites.
Thanks for taking me down those calorie laden memory lanes!
All the best,

Christian - I loved Easter Marshmallow peeps and a kid and now am passing on the fun to my own kids - who also seem to have acquired the taste. I am going to bookmark the sites and check them out when I have a chance…like maybe next Easter!

I never understood why they are so popular myself, but they are. You can see them all over the place at this time of the year.

My wife doesn’t care for peeps, and I don’t get into them either. However, I’m sure my kids would love them. Despite this, we probably will be peepless this Easter.

I’m not into peeps, but that might be because I’ve never tried one! I’ll hold onto this one - looks live a good rainy day project.

Peeps sound like a fun cooking experience. However, I’ll pass as they aren’t very high on my food preference list.
