Peeps flambé!

Dear Shayne,

Without even knowing that I had posted about Peeps yesterday, Bill brought me home a surprise gift of... Peeps! Since I had just posted a link to the "recipe" for Peeps Flambé, I thought we would give it a go.
Peeps flambe: Let the madness begin

We have a nifty little hand-held blow torch. I guess you could use it for crème brulée, but we just use it for, um, Peeps brulée. Hee hee.

The first one caught on fire:
Peeps flambe: On fire

Which made for a rather charred Peep:
Peeps flambe: Heavy on the "flambe"

It was tasty, of course, but I thought I'd try another less blackened version.

Here's the start of it:
Peeps flambe: Perfection

I continued around the Peep in that fashion until it was crispy on the outside and melty on the inside. Mmmmmm.

love,
kelly

Wow...looks...uh...yummy, I guess.
Heehee! Not a big Peeps fan, but good idea for making Smores, which I love.

Even if you don't usually like Peeps, you might like 'em this way. The sugar makes a crunchy crust and the insides taste like a gooey marshmallow.

I think they'd make excellent s'mores! [Adds this idea to ever-growing list of things to make...]

He said that he saw someone else buying flowers and he thought, "Kelly's had a rough week, I should buy her some flowers..." and then he thought, "... what would she like more than flowers?"

And then he saw the Peeps.

Aw -- he knows me so well!

You know, I don't think I've ever actually tried a Peep.

I examined a Peep up close at my mom's and have determined that I wouldn't like it.
