Repurposing Your Peeps

Are Peeps the fruitcake of Easter_a necessary player, though not necessarily devoured? In our modern age of recycling and repurposing, here are some ideas to put your Peeps to good use:

• Entertain the kids by microwaving a Peep. Watch it quadruple in size while you make menacing sounds and warn them of a Peepocalypse.
• Or, turn the microwave activity into a sport with Peep jousting.
• Make Peep S'mores for a snack (sometimes called S'meeps).
• Create a Peep diorama to celebrate important moments in history, cinema, or literature.
• Enter your diorama in one of many national contests.
• Recreate a classic work of art, like Van Gogh's Starry Night.
• Declare a Peep War, a game of edible strategy.
• Contact the Peep fan club to see if any Peep aficionados would like your stash.
• Donate your extras for use in a Peep eating contest, like the one in Buffalo, NY.
• Make a batch of Marshmallow Peeps Cupcakes and share them with friends.
• Create an iPhone holder or business card holder. Or both!
• Invite friends over for a Peep-tini cocktail.
