I knew I forgot to tell you something earlier. Peeps. I've said it many times before how much I love Peeps. Mmmm! Only made better if you open the package and let the little lovelies sit to get stale for a day or two. So good!
Well today I quickly ran into Wally World and on my way out spotted sugar free Peeps. Being the wanna-be-healthy-chic that I am, I purchased a tiny package of three. I eagerly opened them up when I walked in the door and took a bite. And I can honestly say that if you are craving a little Peep goodness, go for the real thing. The consistency was so completely different- they were dense and chewy. The flavor was all wrong. And the usually crunchy yellow sugar coating was um...none of the above. They are bigger too. Peep wanna-be's is what they are. Diet coke, no problem. Eat more veggies and work out, done and done. But don't mess with perfection. It's original Peeps or bust around the Crocodile household!

I love these too. Crazy?
I love Peeps! Did you know they have a "fan club"? It's true, and I have a membership card to prove it. I also got a super cute baseball cap, but Dave wore it out.
I can't imagine sugar free peeps. they sugar covered sugar.
Have you ever tried microwaving them? The get huuuugeee. It's super fun!
um, slightly stale-ish Peeps are AMAZING! I was never a huge fan around Easter- I always went right for the chocolate goods- but my brother, the antithesis of a chocolate-lover always received a basket FULL of Peeps! He'd always take FOR-EV-ER to eat them.. which meant lots of stale-ish Peeps for me! Worked out perfectly..
good to know that the real deal is where it's at. if they're a once a year indulgence- gotta do the real thing and then just push yourself a little harder at the gym!
kHm
im so glad you told us. im a peep lover too. i saw the "healthy" peeps and wondered, but went with ole trusty instead!
I found you on the pink owl & first I have to tell you how cute your blog page is! :) Secondly, you are correct about peeps! My daughter and I love them and of course when she found these the other day at Walmart she was very excited! She's 10 and trying to watch her weight...crazy I know! But they don't taste the same! I'm with you, stick with the original and cut back somewhere else! :)
Ew, I can't imagine a sugar free Peep being much of anything, since they're basically made out of sugar, right? I was likewise disappointed with sugar free Jelly Bellies. Yuck.
my husband let's his get stale too!
This is funny. I never knew stale peeps were yummy. I just threw some away the other day that were left open and hard as rocks. Every year I stock up after Easter, like when they're $.25 and we use them all summer long for our campfire roasts....they're yummy in smores too!
Oh my gosh, we must be soul mates, I love slightly stale peeps too!! Yay I'm not as weird as I thought!
I love peeps!! i try to get the other holiday peeps too :D
My favorite ones this time of year are the egg shaped ones that are "vanilla creme" flavored - haven't seen them yet this year, but the colors of the regular peeps are so fun this season!
Someone else 'cooks' their Peeps the same way I do? Love it! Once, during a very weak moment, I tried to call the company during the summer to see if I could order a case of Peeps. They denied my request.
This time of year, I love peeps and cadbury cremem eggs...so delicious!
I'll definitely stick to the original.
I just can't do stale Peeps! LOVE the blog redesign though. Fabulous!!
