An Easter Surprise: Healthier Peeps
Seriously. I am not making these up. They don’t even have any marshmallow in them at all. I normally don’t like peeps (don’t freak out, I don’t like cotton candy or apple pie either) but these sound good. We originally found the link on Slashfood, but the recipe for Saffron Meringue Chicks is here on Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories and they look delicious.
It would take way more patience than I possess to make these, so if you guys make them, please let me know how they turn out. Or even better, if you live near me, please bring some over. I’ll be home in time for Easter.

RachelZ commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 amI’m with Grammy – Peeps are the spawn of hell and have no place in the civilized world except as tools for pranks and art.
Anonymous commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 amIs nothing sacred? Peeps are meant to taste like week-old stale marshmallows from the moment one opens the box. They’re good BECAUSE they’re awful.

regandbabe commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 ami made some of these, well minus the saffron i just used food coloring in the meringue mixture, last year in an attempt to be classy- they were good but not peepalicious. meringue is harder, crustier than marshmallow which took the fun out of putting the peeps in the microwave!
