The Creative and The Bizarre: Maybe these folks spend a bit too much time thinking about peeps? Naaaahhh... FIRST PRIZE - Winner, Scariest Dessert! Horton2000: My boyfriend, his brother and I were in a dessert contest together. We, being as sick minded as we are, entered a dessert with a theme-death on chocolate (thank you Ed). Those being killed were of course...peeps - snowman peeps. The base was a peanut butter bar cookie covered with chocolate. Powdered sugar was sprinkled over it for the snow effect. We had a Funny Bone as the Titanic with drowning snowmen surrounded by pyrrana played by Peperidge Farm goldfish. An upside down ice cream cone served as a volcano catching the poor snowman in molten lava. There were the impaled snowmen on killer pretzel sticks. A snowman meeting his untimely death in an earth quake. Needless to say our dessert WON!!! an the "best left at home" category and "scariest dessert" category. I felt bad for the snowmen, as I am an avid peep fan from way back (yellow chicks only!), but I was happy of our morbid creativity. The snowmen, melted, mutilated and destroyed, led us to a glorious victory. We celebrated in their honor by then eating of the life they gave for their art- Death by Chocolate-now lives on in infamy!!! HONORABLE MENTIONS pxpxpxpx: My family and I honor the pagan origins of Easter with a traditional Peep Offering. Every year a beautiful young virgin peep is selected as the peep of sacrifice. Once torn from the marshmallow ties of family, the peep is powerless to escape the four-tined saber that is jabbed brutally into her stomach. From here she hangs upside down at the round tin altar over two unlit torches arranged in an ironic cross. Suddenly a mighty hand grabs one of the torches and strikes it against the tiny box from whence it came. Fire! The torch is thrust under the peep's sugary yellow head. After minutes of flaming agony, all that remains of the peep is a charred, caramelized shell in a puddle of toxic goo. All hail Almighty Peep! Well, who says God isn't a giant yellow marshmallow chicken? hop_head: Peeps are an evil creature, see what I mean at the following URL; http://members.tripod.com/hop_head/peep.jpg Lady_Vampress: The battle of the making of Peeps Once upon a time in say, fifth grade, our cranky history teacher decided to do something nice for us. Peeps, Koolaid, and other assosited pastel candies. Thus the battle began: what are peeps made of and can they float in that Orange glowing Koolaid. One friend stated that they were made with raw eggs to make the sugar stick, we all disregarded her answer. Who would feed kids raw eggs? Another friend told us of how they take molds of little chicks, but a bunch of tiny marshmellows in them and hold the mold over a fire till they melt into a huge mess. Then the chicks are tossed into huge buckets of sugar with dye. This sounded logical enough for us. Then we began dissecting this chicks, this made a rather large mess over our desk of which the teacher was not happy. Then our in-class scientific buff decided to test which floated better in the Koolaid, the chicks or the bunnys. Into several cups went the different colors of chicks and bunnys, each had their own cup filled with the SAME amout of Koolaid, no cheating. To this day I am proud to report that they indeed floated, and that the bunnys lasted longer than the chicks :) suzymark: Last year we hosted a Peeps themed Easter party. We played many games all with Peeps themes including Peeps toss, Peeps trivia and stuff a Peep. The most popular were Peeps joust and Design-A-Peep. For Peeps joust, two players' Peeps were equipped with toothpick swords and placed in the microwave to expand. The one who pierced the other first was the winner. For Design-A-Peep we placed various craft items like string, toothpicks, candy, yarn, scissors, pens, paper, empty Peep boxes and lots o' Peeps on the table. Upon entering, each guest had to craft something special out of a Peep. The winners were a Peeps diorama which used a Peep box to illustrate a Peep lounging at his home. The other winner turned an empty Peep box into the Partridge family bus complete with Momma Peep driving her brood around. Once again, for my friends and me, Peeps made Easter great!
