I had my first PEEPS today!

Melanie, your a Mod? haha I'm just kidding.

Its a biscuit stick that is dipped in cremes that harden a little. THey are pretty skinny and the cremes are different flavors, like milk chocolate and strawberry. They are from Japan. I guess they are covered w/ a flavored fudge, when I go look at it online.

I don't know how much they cost at Disney, but they are about a dollar a box or less at Wal Mart in the Asian food area. We've always found them on the top shelf. They're great for a little snack.

Just google Pocky and you should be able to see what they look like!

What is Pocky?

Mel

You must go out and get some.......

My dad brought me some when he went to Japan on business..... Oh man...... I called him last trip and said guess what I am eating. I love the strawberry ones....... Yes they also carry them in Epcot in the large store in Japan.... Yes I cant think of the name.... I got some last trip with the girls and they had never had them before.... well I had to go get more for me because in no time they ate a whole box.....

They're from Japan??? Now I feel really stupid.

Okay, we've had pocky here before, just didn't know what they were called. I'm being honest when I say I've eaten all sorts of unidentified things since I've been here.

ummmm Mel........... I would not have mentioned it if it was from say France....

Never had my peeps frozen. Gonna have to try that at the Pocky thing. Mmmmm. I've been hooked on Peeps since my kindergarten teacher used them as prizes if you took a nap. hahahaha That was more than 25 years ago now. hehehehe

I tried the rest of my peeps frozen today, they aren't too bad, still like them nice and fresh.

Speaking of peeps, when my DD was little she could never figure out why the Easter Bunny brought her those yucky marshmellowy things...I told her the Easter Bunny brought them for her to share with her mommy...I got them all!!!!!

Carol, you have my utmost respect

I've yet to buy Peeps yet this year as I'm afraid they will jump into my mouth. However, I have to head back to the market this weekend and soon I'll have a small stash airing out and another in the freezer. I'd LOVE to find the sugar free ones though.

In honor of this thread my family did a taste test this past Sunday. We bought green ones to freeze, yellow to microwave, and the pink ones stayed normal.

A little info before we start...Lou does not generally love Peeps but will eat them, I really like them, and the kids will eat almost anything with enough sugar on it...'nuff said!

So we each had one of each and here are our verdicts...

Lou and Ty liked frozen the best with Ty liking the normal second and microwaved third but Lou liked the microwaved second and normal third.

I liked the normal the best, microwaved next, and frozen last.

Skye took a very long time scooping the microwaved one up with her finger little by little until you could almost not tell it had existed there so we are calling that one her favorite, then she tried the frozen one which she ate all of and the normal one she offered to Ty after she bit the head off.

We also decided that the proper way to eat a Peep (at least in our house) is head first unless it has a long tail, then you eat the tail first followed immediately by the head...I guess I have been doing it wrong all these years!

Thanx guys, for a fun Sunday evening activity!

96 more days!
