KABLAMMO!!!
Phew. That's better. I think someone was playing an April Fools Day joke on me or something. But hey, April Fools Day is all about playing practical jokes on people, so I guess I had this one coming.

Okay,
so now that I have everything back to normal, I thought that I would use this
post to talk about an Easter treat that can actually be used in a number of
different ways. Only one of which is
eating them.
I
am talking about the brightly coloured, yet versatile Marshmallow Peep.
In
fact, I suppose that you could say that I have a rather memorable experience
with Peeps. It comes in the form of a story.
Back
when I was a teenager, a family member made Easter cupcakes that had bright
yellow Peeps on top of them. And when I
received one, I had decided that I would eat the cupcake a little later so I
set it down on the counter for just a couple of seconds.
Well,
that was all it took for my then two year old niece to march up towards the
counter, take her little paw out, snatch the Peep off of the cupcake and shove
the whole thing into her mouth! And all
I could respond was "YOU STOLE MY PEEP!"
And
to add insult to injury, she thought that was the funniest thing in the world.
Sigh. Sixteen years later, and that incident has
become kind of a running gag.
The
irony is...both of us hate Peeps now. I
was never a really big marshmallow fan to begin with, so I probably would have
given her the Peep anyway.
But
I still say that Peeps can be used for so much more than topping cupcakes. Here are a couple of other things that Peeps
can be used for.
1.
MICROWAVE SWORDFIGHTS
Seriously,
this is so much fun. All you need is a
microwave oven, two different coloured Peeps, and a couple of toothpicks. Stick the toothpicks in each Peep, put the
Peeps on a plate, and nuke the chicks for thirty seconds to a minute. One thing about Peeps is that if you microwave
them, they expand to three times their size.
The game is, you see which toothpick stabs the other Peep first. If that happens, you win the match! Of course, trying to explain to your
parents/roommate/spouse why the inside of your microwave is yellow and blue
might be a challenge.
2.
MULTI-COLOURED RICE KRISPIE SQUARES
Are
you bored with white marshmallows?
Well, why not use marshmallow Peeps to your Rice Krispie treats to add a
little colour to your desserts? At
least it would be a great way to dispose of the half-eaten ones.
3.
MAKE TOYS OUT OF THEM
I
think I'll let this image that I found on Pinterest explain it. Isn't that ingenious?
4.
INSULATE YOUR HOUSE AT A LOW, LOW COST
Oh,
sorry. That was an April Fools Day
joke. I do wonder if that could be
possible though.
5.
TURN THEM INTO A DAIRY BEVERAGE
Interestingly
enough, this is NOT an April Fools Day joke.
Neither is this.
