I love marshmallow peeps, only the yellow ones. For some reason, the other colors taste different. I don't know of anyone else that likes the peeps. When I buy them and friends are around they gag, say they are too sweet to eat. What? No such thing as too sweet?
Yesterday, I saw and bought chocolate covered peeps. They, too, are good but in a different way. When I think of Easter peeps, I want yellow peeps. I don't care for the marshmallow bunnies or anything else, just peeps.
Does anyone else like peeps?

YUCKY!! I love almost all candy, but just cannot put those to my lips! LOL

knlsmith 03-19-2011 08:13 AM

Peep peep peeps! My daughter and I LOVE them. But I try to only buy one pack at a time. They are worse than potato chips...you can't eat just one! :D

Up North 03-19-2011 08:13 AM

Not me but a friend stocks up on them opens the packages and lets them get hard!

debp33 03-19-2011 08:16 AM

I tried the chocolate covered ones at Halloween. No more.

Yellow bunnies - not pink - are the best!

luv-e 03-19-2011 08:18 AM

I totally understand what you are talking about.......Weather it be bring back memories...but a peep isn't a peep if it isn't soft and YELLOW!!!! lol lol lol

S D G 03-19-2011 08:38 AM

They taste nasty to me, like eating pure sugar.

Dolphyngyrl 03-19-2011 08:40 AM

Never really cared for them, I'm all about jelly beans and cadbury cream eggs

samifel 03-19-2011 08:47 AM

I laugh every time I see Peeps. When we were in the Army we arrived at Ft. Ord ,Ca the end of March. (Me, hubs and 3 kids). Our quarters weren't going to be ready for a couple of weeks, so we decided to just stay in the campground in our tent. All was well until the Monsoons arrived. After a few days of it we went shopping one afternoon and realized that Easter was the next day. All that was left for Easter Candy was Peeps. We did the best we could hiding them in the tent...however, the tent had had enough and decided to leak around the edges......Peeps are pretty nasty when they have been dripped on all night.

feline fanatic 03-19-2011 08:57 AM

Not a big fan of Peeps. But have great fun putting them in the microwave and watching them blow up to enormous distorted blobs. :lol:

frugalfabrics 03-19-2011 08:58 AM

My sister and I use to buy them, and drive around in our car until they were all gone...we'd have to hide the evidence before we got home...and wipe all the sugar off our face...LOL

I prefer the YELLOW too..and only like the Easter peeps too. The ones the make for every other holiday don't taste the same to me.

I'll join this bunch! They rank at the bottom of my list with plain jello and marshmellows! Just hate (yes, hate) the texture!!!!! My daughter can't believe I'll only eat one s'mores when she makes them.

2 Doods 03-19-2011 09:13 AM

I have always liked them. My kids hate them except DD likes to put them in the microwave and watch them blow up. LOL

scowlkat 03-19-2011 09:16 AM

My husband LOVES them! Strange because he doesn't like most sweets! They disgust me - too sweet and hate the texture!

SuzanneG 03-19-2011 09:38 AM

I'm a chocoholic, so if it isn't chocolate, it isn't worth the calories to me - LOL Besides, those colorful little marshmallow chicks and peeps are way too cute to bite their little heads off! :mrgreen:

thequilterslink 03-19-2011 09:39 AM

Oh i love Yellow peeps, i bring them home, open the pkg and let them get hard (sometimes) before i eat them. You are right the other colors don't taste right. Have not tried the chocolate ones.

CarrieAnne 03-19-2011 09:48 AM

LOL, our kids always blow them up in the microwave too!

Gizzy-Girl 03-19-2011 09:54 AM

hmmmmm, nope never could get past the Peeps texture. Too strange on my tongue. But they sure are popular to others.

Quiltforme 03-19-2011 10:17 AM

I love them stale I buy them poke holes in them and leave them Luckily the whole family does not like them I agree with you about taste I think they flavor the sugar :)

pocoellie 03-19-2011 10:23 AM

I can't stand marshmallows, or candy corn. Yuk!! LOL

ufoqueen 03-19-2011 10:37 AM

I love Peeps and I buy them every Easter, put them in all baskets for kids and grandkids. They all hate them, give them to me. WIN WIN

amandasgramma 03-19-2011 10:40 AM

My DH goes nuts every spring for PEEPS. I always said they must be yucky. Last fall they had white ones (ghosts) for Halloween. I ate one...................I'm hooked now!!!! :mrgreen:

Someone opened a package in the store, there on the shelve was a peep with it's head pinched off.

Glad to know that I am not the only peep person here. I like them stale, as well. Buy two packages, open one and let them get hard and eat one fresh. I don't want any Halloween Ghost, Thanksgiving Turkeys, Christmas Trees, Valentine Hearts, or any other marshamallowy things they make, just yellow peeps.

wvhill22 03-19-2011 11:10 AM

i don't care for them but hubby does and he likes them straight from the freezer

sewgull 03-19-2011 11:17 AM

What is Easter and spring without yellow Peeps.

Tweety2911 03-19-2011 11:20 AM

Love those peeps! Retired now, but when I worked brought in peeps as soon as the stores started setting them. Peeps bring in the spring and farewell to winter :-)

Scraps 03-19-2011 11:46 AM

My next door good neighbor friend loves them FROZEN!!

jbud2 03-19-2011 12:02 PM

I buy several packs for Easter and hope they last till summer. Sure they are stale then but they roast up nice over a firepit. You got to watch them because they catch fire faster than a marshmallow!

DoxieMom 03-19-2011 12:07 PM

I'm with Dolphygyrl on this one!

I love peeps about as much as I love Cadbury Creme Eggs. :)

They are yummy!!!

QuiltswithConvicts 03-19-2011 12:27 PM

I, too, love Peepe and those Cadbury eggs - the sugarier (?) the better!

ChubbyBunny 03-19-2011 01:01 PM

I LOVE Peeps!!! But they have to be stale. I leave them exposed to the air for a few days before I eat them. Yummy!!! :mrgreen:

When they're hard...They are yummy :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink:
but the best Easter candy is Mini Robin Eggs :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

BellaBoo 03-19-2011 01:06 PM

I love marshmallows. I buy the peeps after Easter and vacuum seal them. They are great in hot chocolate or to make smores the following winter. I dip them in melted chocolate for treats. Usually they are marked down to .25 a package. I always run out before the next Easter.

DITTO I like them best hard and chewy. I have not seen the chocolate ones but I only like really good chocolate prefer dark choc. My husband and kids also love them but not their kids

hobbykat1955 03-19-2011 01:20 PM

My husband would kill for Peeps...I buy them during all the holiday seasons...And what's more gross is he likes them stale...YUKKKKKK...I think he might still have some from last Easter hidden away...

Me too I usually eat one fresh one and then let the rest get stale. Mmmmmm, I too agree that it is yellow peeps for me!

ptquilts 03-19-2011 03:22 PM

OK, 3 pages of peeps and no one has mentioned "PEEP JOUSTING" - here is what you do (Kids love this). Take two peeps, insert a toothpick in each one like they are carrying a lance under their wing. Place in microwave facing each other, with toothpick end about 3/4" away from opponent. They will get bigger and bigger until the toothpick of one pops the other. WE HAVE A WINNER!!!! Gambling is allowed but not encouraged.

I also love peeps - it is the weird texture. I like circus peanuts as well, for the same reason. I prefer them fresh.
