Easter Prank: Where DO peeps come from?

Step 5: Epilogue

A friend suggested filling a painted egg with jelly beans or malted milk eggs.

A few peeps go a long way. Each of my boys wants his own box of every kind of peep the store has. Then they eat about two peeps a day until they get crunchy.

Sorry for the stock pix. This is pretty messy, and my wife is picky about "her" camera.

To those of you complaining about my spelling, incorrect homonyms (to, too). Lighten up go read W.F. Buckley or H.L. Mencken if you want to worship the English language. (Pedants are like that).

If the fact that I use "carefully" and "gently" 50 times on every step bothers you, try the Instructable and it will make sense.

Be nice.

As men do like to burn things, a suggestion for your "crunchy" peeps. They make the most delicious treat when roasted over fire aka marshmallows on sticks. I hate peeps too, but they are scrumptious that way!

Option 2: You can put two of the "crunchy" peeps into a microwave about 3 inches away from each other and about 5 inches away from the walls of the microwave. You can then stick a toothpick into each of the peeps, making sure to leave about an inch of toothpick sticking out of each peep. turn on your microwave for about 1 minute. For those of us who know about the affects of microwaves on microscopic air bubbles (such as those found in marshmallows) then you know that microwaving peeps will cause them to expand 5 fold. The first peep to stab the other with it's toothpick wins. Tada!!! Peep Jousting!

My kids loved the idea. They are all preteen and up so it was great fun. I was also able to teach a principle in our home school and they did not know they were learning. thanks for the fantastic afternoon with my kids.
