Roasting Peeps


I happened to be in the store on the day after Easter.  As I was passing by the Easter aisle, I saw a lady throw several packages of marshmallow Peeps in her basket.  She was saying something about camping.  I thought that might be fun but I didn't grab any of the Peeps then.  Last week, I was in Albertson's and they still had a few things left over from Easter.  I noticed some Peeps and couldn't pass them up this time!  My sister Melanie and her family were at our house so I thought the kids might have fun roasting the Peeps in our fire pit out back.  It was a little rainy and the Peeps didn't stay on the sticks very well, but the kids thought it was great!  They went through all 24 Peeps in a matter of minutes!  I even tried one to see if they were better roasted because, as a general rule, I don't eat them.  I have to say that they weren't bad roasted (think warm sugar coated marshmallow) but one was definitely enough!
