Last year at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, many things in our everyday world either came to an end or changed in a way that we as humans weren't expecting. Many different brands stopped carrying certain products or just downsized what they were producing, and it left many customers unhappy when they couldn't find their favorite snacks...
People all over the country, including Maine, look forward to Easter Sunday and Peeps. This is the time year the marshmallow treat is at its peak. We love Peeps even though they are made mostly of sugar and corn syrup.
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.
Peeps. You either love them or hate them. But they are kind of a vestal “medium” for lots of projects, edible and otherwise. There are many colors and styles of Peeps, but can craft and cook with them, too. Boggles my mind.
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.
