I have now officially resisted the temptation to purchase Peeps for an entire Peep season. I no longer actually eat them. A much better use of the sugar-coated blobs of sugar is to watch them puff up like the Goodyear Blimp when you microwave them for about 30 seconds. You need not use Peeps to see the show--any standard issue marshmallow will work--but the chick-esque shape of a Peep does enhance the effect. A word of caution, though: always microwave your Peeps on a paper towel or similar disposable microwavable surface. The sugar coating of the Peeps tends to slightly liquefy and the underside will fuse to plastic plates, leaving you with a permanent pink or yellow splotch. No amount of soaking will get rid of Peep Smear.
UPDATE: Do NOT, I repeat DO NOT Google "peep smear."
