But I don't have kids' Easter baskets to content with. Maybe you
could get the kid to hide it :-).

I'm beginning to think maybe we'll cut down on the chocolate this year.
I did buy some peeps, but they don't call to me like the bunnies and
robins eggs (malted milk with candy coating) do.

We're also going to brunch to avoid leftovers in the house. No kids so no
baskets. I am probably a freak of nature in that I never liked peeps or
jellybeans. Normally I'd have some interest in the chocolate but since our
trip last week and having some seriously excellent quality stuff I'll
probably never eat the supermarket stuff again.

I think those are the marshmellow candies in the shape of baby chickens
(peep peep).

The best thing to do with Peeps?

Put them in the microwave, it's the coolest thing. They expand and
then collapse. Very entertaining.

Martha

They'd be fun in a seal-a-meal container too!

Before I try this, please tell me what are "peeps?"

This year there are no plans, so that helps.

We're having Easter brunch at my mothers, and Easter dinner at DH's
parents. This is gonna be one tough day.

For those of you who celebrate Easter, how will you incorporate your WOE
into the day?

And how do you manage to stay out of the kid's baskets (my biggest
weakness...)?

This was histerical. At one time, we kept a package of Pink Peeps in
our department (nuclear medicine) at work for...I'm not sure how many
years... to see what would happen over time. They eventually became
concrete like. Very interesting.

Got it. I didn't want to explode any live animals. Thanks.

I was always picky about my peeps when I was younger. I only wanted the
yellow ones and they had to sit out for a couple days to get a crisp
exterior before I would eat them as I didn't like fresh peepsg

Beverly - who hasn't had peeps for several years

I always loved them once they weren't all squishy. I'd open the package
and leave them a week or two or three.

And here my mom always said I was weird because I liked stale peepsG It's
good to know someone else prefers those little critters crispy!
