They're Party Cake PEEPS, people! PARTY CAKE!
Let the record show that I have not sampled them at this juncture. I am saving this treat until I am pretty sure there are no more available. Because once Val gets a taste of PEEPS, it's Katy bar the door!
I found this food of the gods a couple weeks ago, on a center aisle display at Walmart. I was almost successful in pushing my cart right past them. Until I saw the words PARTY CAKE! Uh huh. I could resist the regular flavor PEEPS, even the bunny form, my favorite. And the Mystery PEEPS, some of which I tried a couple years ago, and figured out they were sour apple. Yes, I was feeling quite emwillpowered that day, ready to forge right by the Bubble Gum PEEPS, and any flavor, really, until I saw PARTY CAKE!
Let the record further show that Val has been successful in suppressing her urges over the past year. In fact, Hick pointed out only Saturday that there is a Walmart bag with a box of PEEPS in it under the desk in the corner of the master bedroom.
"I know. I got them last year, and I've been trying not to eat them."
Mission accomplished, people! Mission accomplished. The PARTY CAKE PEEPS, though, are not long for this world. Probably after Easter dinner, I will partake of their squishy goodness. No way will I brave the hordes on the day after Easter, trying to procure holiday candy at rock-bottom prices.
What's the worst that could happen, right? That I backslide and devour the bunny PEEPS left from 2016? I can still recover. Two and done! Safe for another year.
Okay. Maybe that should be 20 and done. Because there are ten PEEPS in a pack.
Oh...and I think there are Halloween PEEPS now. Which will hit the shelves around July 5th.
Mrs. C. Loves PEEPS but they don't appeal to me.
ReplyDeleteMore for her!
DeleteVal--Peeps are unappealing... unless they're chocolate-covered. If they were dipped in milk chocolate, I might give them a try.
ReplyDeleteNO! Chocolate is bad for you! Wait a minute...chocolate is bad for DOGS! Carry on.
DeleteI would say I think they are disgusting, but I like scrapple and dirty water cocktails, so what the hell is my opinion worth?
ReplyDeleteOoh, sorry forgot whose blog this was, make that what the not heaven is my opinion worth.
Bet you'd eat one if you found it on the kitchen counter under a towel!
DeleteMy friends and I once microwaved a peep in our high school cafeteria. We were the reason that the principal took the microwave away....
ReplyDeleteAre peeps still edible after a year?
YOU are the reason kids can't have squooshy tasty treats!
DeleteA year? That's just a nanosecond in the life of a PEEP! My best ol' ex-teaching buddy Mabel unwraps hers and lets them age for a year, until they've reached the proper consistency for her taste buds.
I used Peeps last year to make Rice Krispy treats and the kids loved them.
ReplyDeleteOf course they did! PEEPS are delicious, even with superfluous Rice Krispies.
DeleteDid you see the COTTON CANDY peeps? I tried them, lacking your enviable will-power! I like anything cotton candy, but these were just so-so.
ReplyDeleteNO! Or I would be using those COTTON CANDY PEEPS to test my willpower as well. I LOVE cotton candy! And PEEPS! The inventor of this combination must be handsomely rewarded!
DeleteYou can have all the Peeps you can handle. Just give me a chocolate bunny or two.
ReplyDeleteWhen we both find our Easter basket on Easter morning, we'll swap PEEPS for chocolate bunnies!
