I have been sitting on a secret for the past couple of weeks. Not literally sitting, because my ample rumpus would do no favors to my secret. Which I am sure is no longer a secret, because you've seen the thumbnail picture before reading.
I HAVE BEEN HOARDING PEEPS!
Yes. It's the season for PEEPS. I found some new flavors. Of course I had to buy them. They pretty much hopped into my cart on their own, and twisted my arm behind my back to persuade me to take them home. They may THINK they're safe. But they're not. I'm only waiting on The Pony to come out and help with Easter Dinner. Then we'll crack open those PEEPS for a tasting.
We are having Easter Dinner on Friday, because it's more convenient for Hick's business. So Thursday and Friday, The Pony and I will be PEEPing. Of course we will set some aside for Hick to have later. And a few for me to enjoy at my leisure. I don't want to overdo it. Then The Pony can take the rest home.
Here are my new flavors. In no particular order. I think I bought them over two or three different trips to 10Box, because they had a big bin, and different days there were different flavors.
The cashier said the Cotton Candy flavor is always the first to go. When the first shipment came in, she ran to get her share. Indeed, they were out of this variety on the first day I bought some.
They're not so pretty, but Dr. Pepper might be an interesting flavor. Not sure how The Pony will react. Way back in third grade, for surgery on the first broken elbow, The Pony chose Dr. Pepper scent for the anesthesia mask. Hope this doesn't cause any flashbacks!
Everybody knows Val LOVES a birthday cake flavored treat. I imagine Party Cake is the same thing. Hick may not get some of these!
I bought two of the Rice Krispies version. Not because I think they'll be my favorite, but because I think The Pony will like this flavor best. How could it go wrong? PEEPS are already 99% marshmallow. So the "Rice Krispie" flavor should be simple to add.
Of course I had to get the original basic yellow PEEPS. I'll probably keep them just for me. Everybody knows what an old-school PEEP tastes like.
I only regret that all these PEEPS were the chick shape. I am partial to the bunny shape. I like biting off the ears first. Then their abdomen, then their rumpus. It's harder to dismember the chicks evenly.
Happy Easter to all my PEEPS!
I think you either love or do not love Peeps. I am in the last category. I really do not love Peeps. Ugh. Fortunately, my dad must have also had an aversion to them, as my Easter basket never had one Peep in them. Usually, a large chocolate Easter bunny surrounded by various other Easter egg or bunny type of candies and usually some kind of little toy and a little book of some kind. I would have thought I had been put on the naughty list if I had been given a basket full of Peeps. Enjoy your booty. Cheers to the Valedictorian and her Peeps. Ranee
ReplyDeleteMore for me! My best old ex-teaching buddy Mabel likes PEEPS, but she requires them to be open for about two weeks, until they get stale. I like mine fresh and squishy, but would probably not turn down a stale one.
DeleteAnd now I know what peeps are! I have never seen them here, maybe I just don't notice them, or they sell out quickly or we just don't get them here. Fine with me, I'm not a huge marshmallow fan.
ReplyDeleteAgain, more for ME! I wish I could have found some of the bunny variety, but it wasn't worth going to Walmart.
DeleteI like my Peeps stale, too! Red Vines licorice is another favorite to leave out to harden up.
ReplyDeleteI have a large bag of OPEN Twizzlers in the pantry right now, petrifying. I think Hick won them somewhere, because I didn't buy them. Maybe he got them at the auction. It was before Christmas, I think! He only had a couple, and I got tired of seeing them on the kitchen table.
