What  a surprise I received Saturday when I dropped by my Mother-in-laws house.  She had invited a few of her great-grand children over  for an Easter celebration and they were having a grand old time roasting PEEPS marshmallow candies over an open fire.  <\/p>\n

There\u2019s actually something unsettling about that for me- I mean WHO would roast those sweet little marshmallow chicks and bunnies over a FIRE?  And why would Grandma, of all people, encourage such a dastardly thing? The thought of sweet, innocent children putting a skewer through a marshmallow chick or bunny and roasting it over an open flame makes me cringe.<\/p>\n

So what\u2019s all this craziness about?  Roasted PEEPS!  According to Grandma- everyone is doing it.  PEEPS are marshmallows with sugar on top! When you roast them, the sugar caramelizes to make a hard crunchy shell. \"easter<\/a> <\/p>\n

As Easter draws to a close and family reunion season quickly approaches and all the pastel candy starts crowding the supermarket and drugstore shelves, consider buying some extra Peeps now for a Peep Roast at your reunion.<\/p>\n

One thought- Peep S\u2019mores?  Does that make them S\u2019meeps? We decided to give \u201cS\u2019meeps\u201d a try and quite honestly, they were delicious.  I used a silicone Peep mold from Wilton to make chocolate the same shape as my bunny Peeps and regular graham crackers. Cook over a fire and assemble as you do for S\u2019mores. <\/p>\n

Although I\u2019ve got to admit, all this Peeps silliness makes me wonder- what will they think of next?  Oh, and don\u2019t forget, purchase extra  Peeps to have  on hand for your summer camping trip. <\/p>\n
