directions

  • Spear the chick or bunnie on the fork.
  • Roast them over a fire just like you would roast a regular marshmallow.
  • The sugar on the outside will go all caramel brown. This is when you stop!
  • Have ready a graham cracker as a beach towel for your now suntanned peep to land on. DO NOT just pop one into your mouth because the inside is like molten lava at this point!The inside should be gooey and the ouside should be crispy.
  • Cool slightly and enjoy!

  1. Haha, what a riot! Sounds like a fun idea. My mom loves Peeps (a bit more than I do), and she also let's hers go stale on purpose. She says they taste better that way. It depends on my mood, if I feel like a mushy sugary marshmallow, I'll eat em fresh, if not, I let em get stale, heh. Sounds like fun, thanks Kellymike. :)
     
  2. the recipe is easy, but what is a stale peep? that never happens in my house lol. DD1 actually lets her peeps get stale on purpose(why?). i bet this would be good with chocolate or cinammon graham crackers, too. I LOVE PEEPS!!!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live on the East Coast. We have a cute little house 2 blocks from the beach. It was built in 1947. Someday I would like to renovate the kitchen, but that is all I would change. I collect 1940's/50's textiles. I love the colorful tablecloths, dishtowels, aprons, and hankies and I use them! I also collect Fiesta dinnerware in all the bright colors. My hobby is making stained glass. The real deal - with lead, solder, sharp edges and plenty of band-aids! I love it because each piece is unique and because it is a hobby that has taught me to slow down. Good things come out of patience and effort. I'm married to my best friend. I adore him and I'm so proud of him. He recently retired from a 30 year military career. We balance each other; he keeps my feet on the ground and I keep his head in the clouds. At home we have 3 dogs who let us live with them. Two of them are beagles, Ralph and Layla, and one is a redbone coonhound, Killian. They hunt only their next treat, though. Layla specializes in holding down the couch, Ralph is a great co-pilot on car rides, and Killian recently graduated from obedience school with a C+, LOL. We are recent "empty nesters," since my three children are all launched and out in the world doing their own thing. I am super proud of my two daughters and my son. Trying to learn to cook for just 2 now; it's been HARD!
