If the world ended tomorrow, Peeps would probably survive. It's a scientific fact that the marshmallow candy, shaped like bright-colored chicks, is indestructible. Which is a good thing in post-apocalyptic scenarios, since they also make a reliable food source, artwork muse, and baking ingredient. The fun Easter candy with the hecka-long lifespan dates back to the 1950'sand comes with some seriously fun traditions. "Peeple" are getting on the Web to get their sugar fix. Searches in the last week alone for "marshmallow peeps" have sweetened the Search box almost 1,000%. Lookups are also following cravings for "marshmallow peeps recipes," "marshmallow peeps," "peeps dioramas," and "peeps ecards." Here, a roundup of our favorites.

As a non-candy eater I confess....I ate a package of Peeps this week and when my husband asked what happened to them I blamed it on our teens.

Personally, I think they are gross as I don’t eat sugar at all, but I actually found some sugar-free peeps for my grandkids yesterday at Walmart.

Due to Global Warming and the adverse effect it had on their hair, Barbara and her 4 sisters moved to Juno, Alaska where they could all reestablish their lives.

If you slightly nuke a peep in the mike, then stick a fork in it while it’s still warm and gooey, then pull the fork away from the peep and twirl, you can do a kinda cotton candy thing :)

There is now a Peeps store just north of Washington DC. I’ve already made my pilgrimage there.

My kids prefer their peeps al dente. So, we have been pre-staling their peeps since last week. They ought to be chewy delicious by Easter.
