The Easter Peeps Are Back!

homecoming queen — Thu, 27 Feb 2014 03:36:14 GMT

After a definite Peeps shortage in my area in at Christmas and Valentine's Day, I finally saw the Easter Peeps and bought them for Easter. I thought that if I waited too long, I wouldn't find any. They had them at Dollar General, the yellow chicks and blue rabbits (something new.) The prices has gone up though from $1.00 a box to $1.25, and there was a limited supply. It wouldn't be Easter without my Peeps!

I can't buy them because I can't stop eating them!!! I have loved them since I was a kid and they were always my favorite Easter candy.

My family all loves them - especially stale. I'd rather choke on a furball ... Yuck.

Hate Peeps. They are in the same category as cotton candy. Some people like peeps better when they are stale.

I love peeps. Yum. One of the things in my Easter basket I really looked forward to. The only thing I liked more was getting a big ole chocolate rabbit.

I don't like to eat them, but no Easter basket is complete without them. I like the pink bunnies.

At 58, I still enjoy Peeps. One or two satisfies me for quite awhile, and am not sure whether it's the taste, or the memories that are revived by eating a Peep!

Me too, RedTop, and I'm older than you by a decade. Love peeps and just got my first box this week. They're lavender and they look so pretty. Haven't eaten any yet but I'll break down and open the package one of these days.

I loved Peeps as a kid - stale ones were the best. (Glad to see that others enjoyed them too!)

Yesterday, we had to go to IKEA to purchase a highchair for our GD. While DH was in the checkout line, I went through to the food department, which is pretty big in our IKEA. They had some Easter items out, one of which was a bag of marshmallow rabbits, which I had to have. I tried one when I got home and really, really liked it. They're denser than Peeps, which I enjoyed, and had a very slight citrus taste. 10 rabbit = 150 calories. I may go back for more!

I still like Peeps and I like the yellow chicks or rabbits the best (I know there is no difference between colors but for some reason they are my favorite).

I like the yellow the best too, I think you can taste the dye in the pink and blue ones.
