It's fun! Peeps are the marshmallow chicks (and other things) that come out around Easter each year. We have never liked them *raw*.

We do them on a square graham cracker for about 20 seconds and then put chocolate chips and another graham square on top.

Wah-lah, Peep S'more.


OH!!! and something cool happens while they are in the microwave. Be sure to watch them.

my mom caught my dad "roasting" them on the gas stovetop ... hahaha too funny! So, every year, I get my dad a pack of peeps (he likes to give the red ones from target to my two year old son as revenge). Sadly, this is now over as they have moved to a new house with an electric stove.

LMAO!!! I can just picture someone sitting at the kitchen table looking back and forth from a package of peeps to the microwave... then looking around to see if anyone is watching before they stick one in just to see what happens. That's too funny..

Never microwaved one but I like to leave them in the fridge until they are almost totally stale...THEN I eat them.

I think they make Peeps for every holiday now, don't they? We found heart shaped Peeps for Valentines and I noticed green ones for St. Patricks Day. My 6 year old LOVES them.
I think I'd much prefer them the way OP has them, otherwise I can't stand those things.

I like to unwrap the package and leave them on the counter top for a week.
I like them HARD.

YUMMY!

FYI: Most peeps are safe for those with most food allergies (I'm SURE they contain corn.)

Most are dairy/egg/nut free (and gluten too)

Thats how I like them too!

This post is too funny! But what's weird is that my newspaper is running a contest for the best dressed peep! This was in today's Miami Herald, you can dress up your peep and send it in! Make your peep look hot but not microwave hot!

Peeps on Parade
All right, so you've bitten their heads off, pummeled them to the thickness of paper, ballooned them in the microwave, made them the stars of home videos and stirred them into your morning coffee. Now we're going to ask you to do something really freaky: Dress them up.

This Easter, it's Peeps on Parade. The little marshmallow chicks and bunnies have been staples of our sweet-tooth culture for more than half a century.

So. The notion of a Peeps in a bikini is cute. But, jeepers creepers, what about Little Bo Peep? Peepi Longstocking? Peeping Tom? Sgt. Peeper's Lonely Hearts Club Band? The Red Hot Chili Peepers? Gladys Knight and the Peeps? Sen. Claude Peeper? Peepcasso? You know.

Get creative, and get going. Get scissors, glue, fabric, paper, paint.

E-mail portraits of your embellished Peeps to

features@MiamiHerald.com. Deadline: Midnight, March 25. We'll feature the best entries in Tropical Life. Winners will receive a Miami Herald umbrella and a box of you-know-what.

I have been told though I have never actually done it myself that if you leave the peeps out until they get stale and hard as a rock you can shellac them with clear varnish and glue a magnet on the back and make a fridge magnet out of them. Might be cute?? You could make one for every season. I might have to do this as an x-mas gag gift for one of the ladies here at work she loves to eat those things.

I don't even like Peeps, but now I feel an urge to go buy a pack so I can microwave one and see what happens.

Never thought of stirring one into my coffee either, but now I might have to try that too.

I want to try that too, just think of the sugar rush! My be Starbucks will add that to their menu coffee with peep!

I've never liked them myself, I dont think my kids do either( or that I know of, ) Bu8t someone said they place em in their coffee, I wonder how they would taste in Hot Chocolate ? Yummmyyy I bet they are good , or at least it sounds good to me. Now I'll have to buy them after Easter and freeze them to see , lol...
