| westsidestory | Posted – 3/12/2007 2:34:12 PM | show profile Ahhh...spring is here. Peeps are back, God bless them. And still 100% fat free! Now if I could only find a Shamrock shake to wash down their marshmallowy goodness. Love those Peeps. |
| sue ellen mischke | Posted – 3/12/2007 2:50:09 PM | show profile ProfNet had a feature on the journalist side about Peeps Pops. Neat... |
| recovering_jersey_girl | Posted – 3/12/2007 2:59:12 PM | show profile Peeeeps! I'm very excited. A word to the wise, though: the new chocolate Peeps are YUCKY! Fake, weird chemical chocolate taste :-( |

| redheadedone | Posted – 3/12/2007 8:04:46 PM | show profile Love me Peeps There was a time when I would buy huge amounts of peeps, stick them in the freezer and then treat myself all year long. Peeps! Peeps! Love me some Peeps! |
| Nikongirl | Posted – 3/12/2007 11:52:36 PM | show profile Hey, I'm still wolfing down Stubbe chocolates....what are Peeps. I'm in Oh Canada! Clue me in. |
| keltoi2 | Posted – 3/13/2007 10:15:43 AM | show profile There's a Website, www.marshmallowpeeps.com, for all of your peep ponderings. Too bad they don't have shamrock peeps for St. Patrick's Day. |
| westsidestory | Posted – 3/13/2007 11:03:29 AM | show profile Well, I have found the green SNO-BALLs in my corner bodega. In Canada, I think Peeps might be found at a drugstore chain. You may have missed them because they don't really look like a confection, more like some kind of toy. By the way, is it true you are having a gas shortage up there? |
| keltoi2 | Posted – 3/13/2007 12:16:42 PM | show profile I'm not sure peeps can help a gas shortage. |
| hawkmail | Posted – 3/13/2007 12:28:21 PM | show profile Malted milk eggs are overshadowed by peeps Don't you also enjoy making lipstick and eyeshadow out of the pastel candy coating on the malted milk eggs, or is that just me? Candy and cosmetics all in one. |

| Nikongirl | Posted – 3/13/2007 12:54:50 PM | show profile Westside, I would guess it was more of a gas/oil holdback until they can gouge the consumer until they bleed. Can you imagine such a thing in our oil rich country? That our own rightwing, conservative GWB wannabe, goofball comes from the oil rich provence somehow makes this wholething smell. |
| keltoi2 | Posted – 3/13/2007 1:49:32 PM | show profile And to think our right-wing, conservative Reagan wannabe goofball comes from the oily state of Texas. Coincidence? I think not. |
| keltoi2 | Posted – 3/13/2007 1:54:43 PM | show profile But back to peeps. As a child, my Catholic school would have its Easter fundraisers selling not peeps, but jelly beans and chocolate eggs and rabbits. I was fine with that. The ones that always struck me as odd, though, were the chocolate crosses. There was always something a bit off about that. Glad to say they had the restraint not to include chocolate Jesuses on those crosses. THAT would have the makings of serious future therapy. |
| sue ellen mischke | Posted – 3/13/2007 2:37:00 PM | show profile Peeps on the Menu? Hawk! I know! Malted milk eggs! I would rather eat those than Peeps, but Peeps have less fat, and I love the sugary pink coating (I swear the pink ones taste better). I'm trying to do an article in Chicago on restuarants that add Peeps to their menus near Easter, but can't find any. |

| keltoi2 | Posted – 3/15/2007 5:53:38 PM | show profile Ouch, foto. That was...eggscruciating. |
| foto | Posted – 3/15/2007 10:55:34 PM | show profile What are peeps anyway? Are they those yellow baby chick shaped things that come around 20 to a pack? I'd rather have a chocolate rabbit...a SOLID one, not one of those bogus hollow ones. |
| keltoi | Posted – 3/16/2007 12:23:21 AM | show profile Peeps are indeed those little yellow, pink, or blue marshmallow bunnies or chicks rolled in colored sugar. Guaranteed to have no positive nutritive value whatsoever, God love 'em. Taste best when left out to get stale for a week or two. |

| salsera | Posted – 3/16/2007 7:41:30 PM | show profile sugar-free ones I've heard they're coming out with sugar-free peeps now! Now that I'm on South Beach diet, I'll probably give those a try. But you kind of wonder what's in the sugar-free ones... the regular kind are mostly sugar. |
| Righter | Posted – 3/16/2007 9:15:40 PM | show profile I love that they're somewhat crunchy since you have to get through the sugary crust and then they're pillowy soft... |
| foto | Posted – 3/16/2007 9:24:44 PM | show profile I had no idea people were so passionate about those things. When I got an easter basket as a kid, anything marshmallow based immediately went into the garbage. The chocolate rabbits and eggs were the main event. Although jelly beans weren't bad either. |
