Originally Posted By LacyBelle That sounds delish, poohbear. I'm definitely going to have to try that!

Originally Posted By cstephens We went by Party City today, and they had lots more Easter stuff out, but only regular Peeps for sale. They didn't have the exact Peeps basket I want, so I'm waiting.

I have the medium sized one which she has custody of when I'm on vacation, so now she'll have her own, in a bigger size too. They didn't have the inflatable Peeps that we told a friend about last year. Here's a picture of it though: <a href="http://www.yardinflatables.com/e_peeps_easter_gemmy_airblown_inflatable.html" target="_blank">http://www.yardinflatables.com /e_peeps_easter_gemmy_airblown_inflatable.html</a>. Cute, huh? We also went by Target. They had the cocoa bunnies and the lime green chicks, so I got one of each for home. They didn't have the sugar free ones either. You know what they need to sell? Peeps antenna balls. I would so buy them. I found this really cool Peeps site: <a href="http://www.crowncombo.com/articles/2006/peepdown/22/peeperoni.html" target="_blank">http://www.crowncombo.com/arti cles/2006/peepdown/22/peeperoni.html</a>, though the info looks to be from last year. I so want that crossing sign! But I'm going to pass on the pizza. Just hanging with my Peeps! /cs

They had chicks last year too. They're not as cute, but I think we bought a pack anyway. /cs
Originally Posted By cstephens OK, I tried the cocoa bunnies and lime green chicks last night. I really like the bunnies. It's just a dusting of cocoa so you just get a hint of chocolate - it's not overpowering at all. I really like just the little bit of chocolate flavoring. And the lime green doesn't taste any different, but they're just really cute. There was much Peeps talk when I had dinner with some friends tonight, and a friend mentioned having been sent a link to something where they recreated "The Lord of the Rings" with Peeps. I had to go looking for it. They've actually only got a couple of chapters done, but it's too funny. So here's The Lord of the Peeps: <a href="http://www.lordofthepeeps.com/" target="_blank">http://www.lordofthepeeps.com/</a>. /cs
