NPR: Repurposing Your Peeps

Repurposing Your Peeps

A new book with suggestions for what do with those Peeps you can't eat.

Chronicle Books, 2008

One of my favorite things about this time of year is marshmallow Peeps. They are so squishy and cute and -- best of all -- covered in sugar. I like to leave them out for a day or two so they get slightly stale and hard before I eat them. If you don't like to eat Peeps, Charity Ferreira's new book Peeps! Recipes and Crafts to Make with Your Favorite Marshmallow Treat has a number of other ways you can use them -- as modern chopstick holders, pin cushions, or table levels.

Peeps are the greatest thing ever created by man. Microwaving them is the best, but you have to make sure you use plastic spoons or forks, you'll have a hell of a time getting solidified marshmallow off of silverware.

Or you could just do the most logical thing and set up a peeps jousting tournament:
