You know... those sugary marshmallow treats that were once only an Easter treat. Now they are available for nearly every major holiday. I don't know about you, but as much as I love them this time of year, I just can't bring myself to eat a ginger bread shaped Peeps at Christmas, or a pumpkin shaped Peeps at Halloween. Maybe I'm a traditionalist, but to me Peeps are an Easter thing. When I was a child I'd eat bunches of them every year. My Easter basket always contained a generous supply of Peeps. These days, although I don't eat as many Peeps as I used to, I still love them. Over the last few years I've been using them to decorate the carrot cake I make every Easter. Not only are they cute, but the memories they hold from Easters past really makes me smile. <br /><br />It seems there's a lot of Peeps love going around. This year over 800 people entered the <a href="http://www.yumsugar.com/1137185">Washington Posts 2nd Annual Peeps Show</a>. Contestants created Peeps themed dioramas. This years winner was called "The Tomb of King Peepankhamun." You can buy Peeps <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10471259">earrings</a>. You can view countless videos about Peeps. Some of the wackiest are <span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CydPRXQ7whU">Optometry Peeps</a>, and </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_XHZZassMU"><span>A Guide to Recovery.</span></a> You can even join a Peeps fan club at the official <a href="http://www.marshmallowpeeps.com/">Peeps website</a>.<br /><br />Do you love Peeps?
