Okay, okay I got it I know what everyone hates[/IMG]

Those are the highlight to my valentines day every year!

No but seriously, I'd rather chew on chalk than eat those. Even though I think that's the primary ingredient.

I'm starting to think that the only confectionary our nations share are m&ms and lately Reece's peanut butter things.

The 8th grade science teacher was cool and we spent a whole class putting "experiments" in the vacuum chamber. :rockin:

Are you telling me I can't get stuff like this http://www.buzzfeed.com/robfranklin/where-is-the-peanut-butter#.sqQAqpzVx across the pond?!?!

I've always wanted to go to Europe...but if this is the case I don't know how I'll survive!

Peeps are good when properly aged....yes, at least a month, usually for six months or more in a properly dehumidified cellar at 67 degrees, but remember to open the package slightly for good aeration. Otherwise they do not reach the chewy state that is desired.
Now, if you are a feeling like you just HAVE to eat them now, there are two (and only two) proper and acceptable options:
The first is quick and dirty: Place a pair of peeps in the microwave for 10-15 seconds (depending on the wattage of your microwave). They will expand to 3 or 4 times their normal size, which in itself is pretty funny to watch. Make sure you use a microwave safe bowl, and allow them to sit for another 5 seconds (we don't want any skin ripping as you eat super heated sugar)
The other, usually more preferred method, is to treat them as a regular marshmallow: Roasted over a campfire. When you place them on the appropriate roasting stick or roasting fork, leave a little bit of room between each peep to allow for proper heat distribution. This also keeps the exterior sugar of one peep from sticking to its neighboring peep. Now, be sure not to set them too deep into the fire, as this can cause scorching of the exterior sugars.You only want to caramelize the the sugar coating. They will expand a little bit, but don't leave them too long or they could fall off the roasting stick, then you have to start all over. Once you have roasted the peep to your desired state of done-ness, carefully remove from the roasting stick with your fingers and eat. Any use of civilized tools such as a fork and/or plate is unacceptable. Be careful to not allow your near the roasted peep, as it could injure the and it's tender mouth. Also, and this is VERY important: It is against peeplaw to put the roasted peeop on a s'more. This would be cause for punitive action up to and including revocation of your peep roasting card, and in severe/repeated cases; notification of proper authorities causing the subsequent visit of Billy-Klubb for obligatory peepberry punching.

thus sayith the first book of peep.

No S'more for peeps - but you can put them in between the layers of an Oreo with the top twisted off.

Back on topic...

These damn things are a crime against candy:

I always thought these were the candies people who hated kids gave out so they wouldn't come back

Nah, that's apples.

 

[1977Brewer]

Nah, that's apples.

Popcorn balls.

 

[SnakeRidge]

Popcorn balls.

Ugh, I had blocked those out. I was kind of glad when that whole "razor blades in the apples" story came out. No more fruit or Styrofoam popcorn balls. Just sweet sweet fun sized Baby Ruth's

 

[Roadliner]

I didn't mind some of those home made treats though.. we had a lady in the neighborhood that gave out the peanut covered caramel apples.. that house was awesome.

Of course you can't do fun stuff like that any more because psychos ruin it for everybody.

I tried my first caramel apple since I was a kid back in the fall. They don't mix very well with beards. Not only does your face become a sticky mess, the apple itself looks like you rolled it around on the floor of a movie theater.

 

[iijakii]

Didn't I just warn you guys about snack foods?

 

[Roadliner]

We were talking about Apples.. that's a fruit.. totally different.

 

[hunter_le five]

An apple a day keeps the doctor away, if you throw it hard enough.

Why not just save time and put up a "TP me" sign in the front yard?

Ha. That's really gross.

 

[Psylocide]

Speaking of caramel apples... anyone ever handed out caramel onions on Halloween?

That ranks up there with filling a few doughnuts with mayo and adding them back to the box.

Wait, people don't appreciate mayo donuts?

 

[CreamyGoodness]

I have eaten the innards and testicles of countless varieties of ungulates... and the mayo donut mention just made me wretch.

 

[iijakii]

My FIL always tells a story about being stationed in South Korea ~30years ago. Goes out and there's a donut stand and they look great. He takes a bite into it and it's filled with fish.

Okay, I'm back through the hundred I missed....

This thread, although I did laugh a few times, is almost to informational, way to much to absorb in one thread.

I miss Gary.
