Guest guest Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 I found this article in one of the area papers. Thought you peep lovers would enjoy it. PatC/FL Salisbury — Mar 03, 2003 Peeps by the box; Peeps by the case; Peeps melted in the microwave A few weeks ago I wrote about a lifelong enjoyment of Marshmallow Peeps, those little chicks or bunny-shaped, sugar-coated confections sold at varying times for the past 50 years. And I mentioned that I had joined the fan club (I'm carrying an official membership card and wearing the shirt and hat). Some readers chided me for not mentioning the official Peeps' Web site, presumably because they, too, wanted to join, so here it is: www.marshmallowpeeps.com. Other readers have regaled me with their own Peeps tales. In these troubling times, it is wonderful to hear from people about their experiences and suggestions for Peeps activities. I'll admit, I had only thought of eating them until now. I must also make this correction. I erroneously stated that my children were not fond of Peeps. I've learned that is not true. Abbie not only likes them, she's joined the fan club, too. One reader suggestion may surprise you, especially considering the source. Retired elementary school teacher ph P. Bolis, from Granby, Conn., and now Punta Gorda, suggests putting Peeps in the microwave for about 30 seconds. " You will have the visual pleasure of watching a terrific (Peeps) show, and then the pleasure of eating a warm gooey peep with a crispy, crunchy outer shell. " He hastens to add that I should not dismiss this as " the perverted idea of some delinquent juvenile who enjoys messing up his mother's microwave. " They don't explode, he said. I sacrificed two Peeps, after my symphony stand partner, Birdie Knoy, brought them to a rehearsal. Joe is right. It is quite a show as they puff and puff in the microwave, almost doubling in size before collapsing in a yellow puddle. Mine weren't crispy, but warm and delicious. My son, who lives in Brattleboro, Vt., said, perhaps facetiously, that " Frozen Peep on a stick is the local variation … something to do with ice and snow in your yard. " Joanne McCloud, who addressed me as Fellow Peeps Lover, said, " At last, another discerning adult, who appreciates the finer things in life, such as Peeps! " She shared this delicious tale about her first experience: " I thought they were so cute that I gave each one a name and set them on a shelf with the other odd and assorted treasures. They sat there for over a month, then one day in a moment of weakness, I decided to try one. By then they were very hard, but the first bite of the crispy little fellow was so good that I soon ate them all. " Over the years I have tried to let one set long enough to get crispy but have never succeeded in doing so. " And this from a snowbird from ville, Wis., who lives in Arcadia. Susie Luers said she can live without chocolates, but craves Peeps. She, like myself, likes the original yellow chicks. Her cravings go back 34 years to a pregnancy. When Peeps arrived in the stores just before Easter, " I was stopping during my lunch hour and buying a box or two every day. " Finally, she asked about purchasing large quantities and the store gave her a price on a case. " My husband was chief of police of our city, and when the order came in, they called him at city hall … Needless to say, he was a little aghast. I picked up the case and ate them all. To this day, our daughter is still upset to think I could do that to her. She can't even stand the smell of them, but I still crave them. " Have you noticed something? The PEEPle I've heard from are adults, at least in age. A nice woman named , who answered the Peep Fan Club hot line (1-877-88-PEEPS) wasn't surprised at all. " It's mostly adults, " she said. " It would amaze you. " I told her about popping Peeps in the microwave. She hadn't heard about that. Joe, you're onto something new. Might be good with a graham cracker and chocolate.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 I've been microwaving peeps for years and the reason for that is that I love them stale and chewy. Before surgery, I would buy a package of peeps, poke holes in the celaphane and wait until they got hard and chewy. Then I discovered the microwave would have the same results. I would usually nuke 3 for about a minute and then let them cool. The longer they cool the chewier they get. So far, I've been avoiding them but how much longer can I hold out? They're all over the place! Roe > I found this article in one of the area papers. Thought you peep > lovers would enjoy it.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2003 Report Share Posted March 6, 2003 Yeah, but it's still hard to get around the fact that marshmallows are pure sugar, too. Don't think it's possible.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 Thanks, Jeanne! I might just have to go looking for at the Stover carousel -- Sugar Free items, of course. Love, Trace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 Trace - Stover makes tons of sugar free candy, and they do have chocolate covered toffee. Try em for when you get that hankerin'.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 You people are EVIL. Today I'm 64 years old, and in all these 64 years I haven't had a Peep. I didn't necessarily want a peep. Didn't give them a thought. But today, of all days, after reading all your stories of Peeps, and how you " cook " them, eat them and otherwise abuse them, while at the drug store, I felt compelled to buy a whole box, or carton of Peeps because they aren't sold separately. Of course I would have paid $2.00 to buy ONE, just to try them to see what this thread is all about, but I spent $2.19 for a box of them. Of course I could have given the street person my $2.00 and felt a lot better about myself, but NO, I HAD to buy Peeps. How utterly stupid of me. Now, when I came home my 32 year-old daughter was here to surprise me on my birthday, and helped me unload my bags, and saw the peeps. You should have heard her scream: " MOM, what are these doing in your bag???? " I couldn't say " oh they are for an Easter basket, because I don't give Easter baskets -- I give chocolate covered strawberries. There weren't enough to say, " Oh, I'm taking them to the clinic today as a joke " because I would have had to have a lot more than I had. So, I had to 'fess up. She promptly threw them on the floor and stomped all over them, and now I have a mess. (My darling daughter who is on my side whether I want to believe it or not.) So, now I'm so frustrated. I couldn't even rescue one little bird out of the bunch! Will you STOP all this talk about these stupid little pieces of marshmallow? I'm going crazy!!!

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 Dear Jeanne.... That post was tongue in cheek. I know how it is, but it was so funny that I had to buy them. My favorite is chocolate covered marshmallow eggs ... so we all have our weakness. Naomi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 Naomi - LOL! Your daughter is too funny. She saved you. Sorry all the talk about Peeps is bugging you. It helps some of us to remember fondly the treats we loved. The subject of Peeps comes up from time to time, that's just the way it is. Take care. Jeanne in WI Age 39 - Dr. T.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 Hi Naomi. I used to love peeps also. Take heart. They don't taste the same as they used to. Just like Twinkies. They changed the formula and they taste awful. (Keep saying that to yourself. lol) Arlene Re: Re: Peep lovers You people are EVIL.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 I swear she is right I looked them in the eye yesterday and promptly ran to checkout before they jumped in my buggy Re: Re: Peep lovers > Naomi - LOL!

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 I read in Woman's Day that Hershey's is coming out with sugar free peanut butter cups and Hershey bars with and without almonds. Lifesavers now has sugar free Cream Savers. YUMMY!!! They taste just like the ones with sugar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
