Peepin' it Real on Easter Sunday
Peeps chicks and bunnies were my favorite Easter treat when I was a kid. I just loved em. Nowadays I'm more of a chocolate bunny kind of gal but I still like to see a Peep on Easter, so I went to the official website and got an eyeful! Lots of strange and interesting facts to be learned. For example:
This Easter, Just Born estimated that more than 700
million MARSHMALLOW PEEPS® and Bunnies were consumed
by people throughout the U.S. and abroad. (That's a lot a Peeps!)
During their early years, MARSHMALLOW PEEPS® were
squeezed one at a time out of a pastry tube and the
eyes were painted on by hand. Now, technology can
create 3,800 Peeps® eyes per minute. (That's a lot a eyes!)
People like to do curious things with PEEPS®- eat them
stale, microwave them, freeze them, roast them, and
use them as a pizza topping... (OK, That's just gross, but I guess it's a free country)
Here's my favorite thing on the website:
PEEPS® Pastel Sombrero

Peeps are so cute. When you put them in the microwave the eyes are the last things to go.
