In the kitchen
Good morning!
 And Happy Friday! 


Do you like Peeps? You know, those marshmallow Peeps that you find in the stores around Easter time.

I love them. Didn't used to, but I love them. They have to be a bit stale, so I may buy a pack, take the cellophane off, then let them just sit out for a day.

They're not just for Easter anymore!

And I must confess to more than a passing interest in the Sweet Lemonade Peeps, especially for the little cupcakes. Our Grands would love them! http://www.marshmallowpeeps.com/cookin-with-peeps/recipe-detail/lemonade-peeps--cupcakes

I love them. Always have, always will. I like the new flavors they came out with, too. Yum.

I don't really like them, but any candy that isn't chocolate, peanut butter or rootbeer doesn't particularly appeal to me.

i'm not a peeps fan. for easter, my favorite was always the cadbury cream eggs. these days i don't eat candy hardly ever. mostly, it's one of those lollypops that the bank gives out free, though the last red one i picked out tasted like a sucrets cough drop -- one lick and it was in the trash, very disappointing. my previous bank gave out dum dum lollypops -- now those tasted very good.

I don't care for them either even as a kid.  They seem to be one of those things that people either really like or really don't like, no in between.

I think the Cadbury cream eggs are the same way. I hate those things. I hate Cadbury chocolate period. At least the Cadbury that they sell here in the US.

I like them, though am not as crazy for them as I am for Robins Eggs or Jelly Beans. The Washington Post newspaper runs a contest every year where people create dioramas with Peeps. Some of them are hilarious and they are all very creative and colorful. They often have to do with current events which makes them even funnier.

Every now and then I get the taste for them.  They aren't my favorite.  DH tried toasting them like a marshmallow and he said they are ok that way; but you really have to be sure the outside sugar has cooled enough before you bite into it!

oooohhhh! i like candy corn, though i'd never be able to eat a whole bag of them before they got stale and hard. i especially like the kind that has white, orange, and brown (pretty sure the brown is chocolate or chocolate flavored) -- though i don't eat anything with cocoa or chocolate these days.

Circus peanuts are what they serve in hell. Those and Necco wafers. I am convinced. 


So awful. Whenever I see Circus peanuts in the candy aisle in the grocery store, I cringe.
