Happy Peepster or the Joy of Peeps


PEEPS - It's What's for Dinner!



.

I am a lover of Peeps.  The taste, the look, the texture, the variety of shapes and colors.  They are the goofiest of sweets and generally they only appear seasonally at Easter.  To celebrate the season I just thought I'd sure some lighthearted thoughts on a favorite Easter tradition:

Ever wonder the history? Just a few highlights from 6 Things You didn't Know About Peeps:

Originally they had wings and are over 60 years old!
A hot air balloon diorama made from Peeps for a contest
The first Peeps diorama contest was in 2004.  Check out 2016 winner:  A Peep Inside (Out) Donald J. Trump







The Peeps & Company Store  at National Harbor in Oxon
There are actually Peeps stores...and they have a Peeps car!

Peeps has become an industry unto itself with all sorts of food and artistic creations:
























Most importantly, they are gluten and fat free!


So when you gather with your family for Easter dinner and need to avoid any of those hot topics like religion and politics, share these little tidbits to keep the conversation safe and enjoyable...and don't forget to serve Peeps!
