One of the best things about peeps is open fire toasting. The outside sugar caramelizes. Put between a couple of toasted apple slices instead of smores. We also core the apples, put a couple of peeps inside, wrap in foil, a set inside the dutch oven till baked. Yummn. Not your average marshmallow roast.

Can't stand the texture or taste of marshmallow....but it HAS been fun to watch them evolve over the years, adding different colors for Easter--like the great shade of blue last year---and then to see Halloween Peeps and Christmas Peeps come out! I buy them for the love of my life, who shares them with the Australian Shepherd....one dog out of five likes them (don't worry, animal lovers, he only gets an occasional bite!)

Sounds good---even to a non-marshmallow-lover! PS my daughter lives in Grovetown!

Is there a 12 step program to stop eating them? Because I need to join. Feel sick and then hide the evidence . My ritual is to eat the eyes, then onto the ears and I work my way down. I honestly can feel the sugar travel though my body to my head. Spring ones are the best, the fall ones do not taste the same to me. I am so.... releived that I am not the only one.

I love teaching in Grovetown. The kids there are so responsive. Our new 4-H center will be in Appling, much closer for the GT students to participate in activities. I am so looking forward to setting up a community lab for sewing, cooking, and crafts. I've had to teach out of my home for years. I'll be glad to have my space back.

I think we need to start a chapter of PA (Peeps Anonymous).

I love them all - all shapes, all colours! I am very thankful that they come out only once a year.

I LOVE YELLOW PEEPS! I too like only the yellow ones. BUT I like to open the package when I get them and then let them get stale and a bit hard. Try one that way. So delicious and not quite a sweet tasting.

Hope your airedales are doing well. Mine are fine. I need to change my avatar and put up a pic of both of them.

I love peeps, yellow is my favorite too! I liked them better when they would get just a little stale...but they don't do that anymore! Enjoy!
