Peeps and More


Visit the official Peeps site. Or perhaps you are looking for suggestions on how to 'prepare' Peeps? Or not? Perhaps Crunchy Peep Salad or Laura Rebecca's Kitchen Peeps On the Lawn Dessert Salad? My daughter (aged 27) prefers her Peeps frozen. I prefer my Peeps given AWAY as gifts. The Urban Dictionary defines Peeps:
Marshmallow candies in the shape of rabbits and baby chickens. Usually served around Easter. Also short for "people" (friends or close pals.).
The Washington Post holds an annual Peeps Show and there were 1,100 submissions in the diorama contest this year. Vote for your favorite. National Geographic's Peeps in Places Photo Challenge has been extended until April 13.

Did you know that 1 PEEP contains 32 calories and 0 grams of fat. Plain, frozen or not. Sweet.
