marshmallow

For the Fluffernutter addict in your life.

My life is forever changed.

As summer is coming to an end there is one thing to look forward to in the fall…pumpkin spice peeps. If you are into peeps and pumpkin like me, you have to be looking forward to it. If not, well fall is on the way.

With Easter just around the corner that means it’s time for Marshmallow Peeps. The sugary marshmallow treats that come in many different colors but they all seem to taste the same.

Marshmallow Peeps, the Easter treat, is turning 60 years old this year.  The Peep was invented by the Rodda Candy Company in 1953, a year later it was bought by the current owner, Just Born. Bob Born, the owner, liked the way the Peeps looked, so he bought the company in 1954. Born had a machine made that would mass produce the Peeps and trademarked the name.
