Hanging with My Peeps
We pulled out the Easter goods yesterday, and to really seal the Easter deal we picked up some Peeps at Target last night. The kids chose yellow and a new green shade that's really quite lovely. On the way back to the car, Ralph, who was so excited to break open the candy said, "I have a feeling the green Peeps are the best tasting of all the Peeps."
Oscar, on the other hand, who is not only my husband's physical twin but apparently inherited his taste buds as well, didn't care for the Peeps.
When it comes to candy, I'm as low-brow as you can get. I love me some Peeps — but only seasonally. (I know they're available now for every holiday, but I find they really only appeal to me in the Spring.) The rest of year, I satisfy my candy cravings with things like Sour Patch Kids, Mike & Ikes and Pear Jelly Bellys.

When I first saw that perfect shade of green Peeps it made me so happy for spring I actually wrote a post about it (and all my other peeps who add a little cheer into my life). They're too pretty to eat.
wow green peeps!
i brought back 2 big packages on my recent trip to the states. lucky me, my husband hates them so they are all mine!
Have you seen the Peeps recipe section on their website? It is awesome!!
I toured the Peep's factory when we lived in New Jersey. :-)
i don't know what got me thinking about this today, but i swear this morning i was laughing to myself thinking of your candy habits.
peeps gross me out but afton will probbaly love her first tastw of them this easter.
I LOVE pear jelly bellys...YUM!!!
I think we have similar candy cravings...sans the peeps! (pear jelly belly's mmmmmm...)
I thought I was the only person in the world who liked pear jelly belly's. Happy to know I am not alone.
However I may be the only person who loves those orange Circus Peanuts. They are so good when they are fresh.
And a thumbs down to Peeps. Though the green is really pretty.
not a big peeps fan but pear jelly bellies... ahhhh :)
I too wrote about the wonderful new green peeps! My sister tells me that she saw some red ones last night at Target... time to make a peep run and check it out! :) And if you're ever looking for a funny read about peeps... check this site out. I laughed so hard I cried... http://www.peepresearch.org/index.html
this is so funny - I bought green peeps yesterday too! which is also the first time I had ever seen them :) Love how BRIGHT the color is!
I have to say the cashier girl at the store I was at was not a fan of them though - she went on and on about how gross "peeps" were - which I thought was kind of odd since I was standing there buying them from her at the same time! kind of amusing though :)
I bet green peeps are the best tasting peeps of all.
i love easter candy! (and circus peanuts, too!)
did you see that cadbury mini eggs come in dark chocolate in the u.s. now? soo tasty!!
i love my peeps, but stale--I open my packages right away so they're good and tough by Easter (if they make it that long...)
guess it goes back to my obsession with Lucky Charms during my once-a-year Grandma & sugar cereal week...
Peeps take a sophisticated palate to enjoy them.
mmmm... peeps AND circus peanuts. two of my favorites.
You and I share the exact same taste in candy. I'm on the look-out for those green peeps.
