And If You Go Chasing Rabbits ...

Better when stale.
Originally uploaded by diastema.

Oh my Gawd, Peeps season is upon us ... I foresee sugar overload ... and there is a discussion about whether to eat them "fresh" or "stale/ripened/crunchy" in the comments for the photo [click on the photo to get there].

Moi, I stand firmly in Crunchy Camp. How about you?

Ohh, that's a tough one. I like them both ways, but lately I've been leaning on the fresh side!

For big fun, try exploding them in the microwave!

(Sorry, Elke. My cold medicine is talking.)

[Anne]

Crunchy of course!

[Tom]

I don't think that you're actually supposed to EAT them - you're supposed to make them joust!

[Elkit]

Grace, honey, you better be careful - cold medicine and peeps is a potent combination! Make sure you don't overdose!

I like 'em fresh, but even better than eating peeps is making 'em joust in the microwave. Good to see peep jousting has already been mentioned. :)

I prefer them as decoration.

But Cadbury Cream Eggs... now that's a different story.

[holly]

i say toast'em

[Silvia]

fresh - crunchy - I eat them all which then creates my very own little problem right on my hips.

[Tom]

Who had to go and mention Cadbury's Cream Eggs? Now I'm going to crave them incessantly.

For the record: I have some Peeps sitting unwrapped in a drawer. Working on getting them stale enough to be good.

Stuff a large green pepper with peeps.
Shred one peep with a teaspoon of pakrika or turmeric.
Top with shredded peep, keeping just below top.
Replace the stem/lid so no peeps show.
Place on a large plate.

Ask a friend to microwave it for you. Tell them it's rice.
