Oh, definitely fresh. "Aged" Peeps are too much like foam insulation. (Maybe they are foam insulation...hard to tell with all that sugar on the outside.)
I ate some blue Peeps this year. I think actually they were "Cheeps" or some other inferior brand. But now that I think back, as a matter of fact, I'm pretty they were bunnies.
It's just not the holidays without brightly-colored sugar-coated marshmallow treats extruded into the shape of cute barnyard animals, I always say....
(They were definitely bunnies. I remember now, because I ripped off their long blue ears each time and tossed them to the dog, who caught them nicely in mid-air and chewed them happily.
And now that I've brought the thread to its knees, I depart... ;-)
I almost posted a photo of myself digging into a post-Lenten pint of Ben & Jerry's Phish Food...but the scene was just too frightening for public viewing.;-)
Now, Dash, where's your sense of empirical adventure? Got Peeps? Got a microwave? Get out a pencil and paper for your lab notes, and have at it.;-) (Helpful hint: Nuke 'em in increments -- don't set the microwave for, like, 5 minutes.)

Okay, so how do you like your Peeps? Fresh or "aged"?

Ever microwave a Peep?

I've never microwaved a peep before. What can you tell us about the experience? (I've got a big grin on my face just trying to imagine this...)
