Stale peeps. That's all that's left on the clearance shelves. What are we to do with these expired little chick-shaped puffs at such low low prices? I decided to get a couple of these little marshmallow critters and experiment with them.

i am having some sort of flashback....didn't we discuss the absolute worst possible easter treat? i seem to recall that paul (goofy 101) had not experienced the sticky,gritty delight that is a peep....unfortunetly, we have tons of clearance goodies on the shelf- walmart went way overboard on dove chocolate bunnies (is it possible for them to taste any better just because they're half off???), reeseter bunnies, my all time most evil nemesis-the peanut butter egg, and a whole aisle of other items (yes, those damn peeps as well) how is a girl to lose weight for disney- only 98 days left!! with clearance chocolate everywhere?
Curses!! I've never thought of saving some to roast & make smores with! I'm sure the stores are all out by now. Next year I'm definitely going to do that. Microwaving them is fun. Freezing them & eating them frozen is something a lot of Peep fiends do, or just freezing & thawing as a craving hits. My kids all love Peeps, and I like them. DH rarely eats sweets, so his opinion is irrelevant. My sister loves them & all things marshmallow. Have you ever gone to the Peep website?
I just found this out, and these guys have done a LOT more to peeps than I could even imagine. There's even one section where they try to surgically remove the peeps from each other and then try to use fun dip as some cosmetic surgery. My absolute favorite part is where they try to give a peep CPR and use the AED paddles on it, CLEAR! Poor guy never had the chance, LOL!
