For my family, it’s not Easter without lots of Peeps
!
In addition to being delicious on their own, we love using Peeps to make cute Easter party food. In past years, I’ve made Peep fruit kabobs, chocolate dipped peeps, and Peeps cake. When looking for ideas to try this year, I found a roundup of “20 Things to Make with Peeps” from How Does She. I’m thinking I might have to try their Peeps Easter basket idea for my 11-year-old, since he’s getting to the age where it’s hard to find stuff he likes for Easter.
Did you know that peeps were originally made by hand? Taking a total time of 26 hours to complete the full process (cooling time). Now it takes less than 6 minutes. The Peeps company now make over 5 million each Easter Peeps a day in a variety of shapes and colours. They also seem to come out for every occasion and season making them no longer a yellow chick for Easter. Originally that had wings but the wings were removed to streamline to making process.
