    Default Peeps!

    Can't believe I'm so late with this thread this year that it's almost time for clearance Peeps! Ahhhh, where has this year gone?

    Anyway, we've got a debate going at work. I introduced my co-workers to frozen and microwaved Peeps, and we're split. I, of course, prefer the frozen (with an occassional fresh one) and I'm partial to the bunnies. My favorite color is purple, and I'm liking the blue ones as well.

    So how do you prefer your Peeps and why?

    Happy Easter!

    I haven't had them either way but straight out of the package! But I can imagine that I would enjoy FRIED peeps if there is such a thing. Anything fried is delicious. I love fried Twinkies Though I haven't had one in years.

    Easter is finally here! The annual peeps debate returns. I'm one of the few that could care less if I ever eat another peep again, but I love them for the way they have become almost an art form.

    Yeah, the peeps thread is back.

    Melanie, I never thought to freeze or microwave them. I will definitely have to get some extra to experiment.

    Oooh - frozen peeps sound like a yummy treat - gonna have to try that! As wierd as this might sound, at our house we like to open the peeps and let them get hard, prior to eating them.

    Fresh purple chick peeps are the best, but fresh of any color/ shape is good.

    Then frozen.

    I do not like microwaved peeps.

    And I can't believe we are still having this discussion every year! I am so glad I have come back to Intercot!

    Yellow peeps straight out of their little boxes. I'm the only one in my family that likes them. Never tried freezing them.

    Not a huge fan, but if I'm going to have one I prefer them a tad stale.

    To be honest, I hate Peeps. I don't get the hype. They're... marshmallows?

    My peep preferences are:

    Bunnies
    Blue or Purple
    STALE!!

    Cut them open and let them get stale. YUM!

    I'm going to try them frozen. That could work for me too.
    Not microwaved. Not for me...I'm a hard peep kind of gal!
    Happy Easter!

    I have a package sitting out getting stale as we speak.
    I love them stale, my kids like to microwave them, but never had done that till I read about it here years ago.
    I think I might try frozen that sounds good too.

    I don't care if they are bunnies or chicks and I really don't mind they color either. I have never tried the flavored ones ever or chocolate covered, I just want the original way, colored sugar.

    I like them fresh, stale, frozen, microwaved, purple, yellow, bunnies, chicks, in a box, with a fox, here, there... Well, my favorites are the yellow chick shaped. Mostly, I avoid them at other times of year but the orange jack-o-lantern ones at Halloween are pretty irresistible, too.

    I have not had them in years! My family is not fans. But, I am tempted now to buy a pack and try the microwaved and frozen just to see. Funny though I haven't hd them for so long, I can still recall the taste of them after reading this thread!

    Yep, me too. Will pretty much eat them any way but stale is my favorite. And I have a slight preference for chicks but that is just because they are bigger.

    Nope no peePs for me. But DSs love them! So I will have to let them try them frozen and microwaved to see which they prefer.

    I don't eat Peeps, but this thread has me wondering a couple of things:

    1. What do they taste like stale?
    2. What happens to them when you microwave them? Don't they just melt?

    Stale is kind of hard to describe. Regular Peeps are soft marshmallow with a light coating of sugar so they are kind of squishy. When they are stale the sugar gets crunchy and the marshmallow is chewier.

    I've never tried them microwaved.
