Not another peep

They don't seem edible, but squishy, neon Peeps have been making dentists giddy for 85 years. These marshmallow marvels are manufactured by PA's Just Born for every holiday, but Easter's when Peeps really shine. To keep things interesting, they introduced a chocolate mousse flavor and created a bevy of recipes to go w/ the co.'s campaign Get Creative with Peeps. Peep fondue (inset), looks like something the Peanuts Gang would have for Easter dinner. Ick. I can almost see Woodstock falling into the chocolate. It actually comes w/ this warning: Excessive consumption may cause stomach discomfort and/or a mild laxative effect. Umm. think I'll pass. Besides recipes, the co.'s website boasts a peep art contest. Anything that can be glued to a canvas, doubling as an art supply, should be far, far from the digestive track. Sorry Just Born, the marketing dept. needs to lay off the sugar. They took Olean off the market, but somehow Peeps are going strong. Any chefs considering working Peeps into holiday menus? There's got to be a Peep martini out there dying to be born. Or perhaps Peep pate, peep poppers?
