Can one freeze Peeps???

[BC38]

My big question would be WHY?
I'm always surprised to hear that people older than 5 will actually eat puffed balls of sugar (marshmallows) - especially when they are covered in yellow granulated sugar.

Wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to just eat sugar by the spoonful directly out of the sugar bowl?

For what it is worth, here is what Bing has to say about freezing marshmallows...

Marshmallows will not freeze in your standard home freezer. The sugar and air prevents the moisture from freezing at 32 degrees. You can try liquid nitrogen.

So, you can't freeze them, but if you put them in a ziplock bag to keep them dry, you can probably keep them "fresh" in your freezer for a lifetime..

When I was a kid I remember my great grandmother doing exactly that. She'd use a big tablespoon, and gobble it right up. Made me nauseous to watch. Must not have hurt her, though, she was healthy and active until she fell and broke a hip while mowing her yard with a manual reel mower at age 87.

I think they found peeps and twinkies when Dr. Carter opened Tut's tomb. Seems like he wrote they were still tasty. They had to last a long time to get the Pharaohs into the afterlife!

That's like asking if there's a need to keep Twinkies or fruit cakes fresh.

Well, I had a box of twinkies from wally world and they were some fresh ones. Fresh ones are the bong or bang or whatever the kids say

Seriously, people really eat those things? I'd rather eat the sushi in WalMart....with a canned tamale chaser.

My late MIL was a Peep freak. The more stale they were, the better. She would buy them en masse and vacuum pack them.

The woman was serious 'bout her Peeps.

Like BC, a bag of sugar and a rolled up $20 would be more expeditious.

My peeps are always frozen during the winter here in Minnesota. Finally thawing out...

Yes, Peeps will freeze.

When all else fails, Google it.

I thought I was alone in hoarding peeps!

You "hoard" peeps....

You should try to get booked on the Dr. Phil show.....
He might be able to help you....but if you're over 8 years old....well never mind....

Use 'em for target practice.......

Or better still, badger bait.

"OK, what's a peep ? "
In my part of the world when I was growing up, "peeps" and "chicks" were synonymous. Peep candies look like miniature chicks.

My father had an addiction for Circus Peanuts, somewhat similar to peeps. Sort of an orange flavored and colored concoction with a marshmallow-like consistency shaped like large peanuts.

Great, create another shortage due to hoarding. What's next, pickled eggs? Joe

Intelligent hosts on ESPN... 'tho they were in short supply before the latest round of cuts.

For the record, I like my Peeps grilled with a jalapeño slice. Happy Cinco de Mayo!

I'm a Reese Peanut Butter Cup addict.

During the few cold spells in Central Texas I have them in the pantry but the rest of the year they're in the freezer.

They go great with Guinness and other black beers.

As did mine. He also loved ginger snaps and mom had standing orders to never let him run out of either.

He preferred to keep his Circus Peanuts in the fridge with the bag open to let them get rock hard.

I actually like stale Peeps. Poke a few holes in the package with a toothpick to let air in and let them sit for a few weeks.

You can keep them in the freezer, but they won't freeze. See my post above and if you don't believe it, feel free to try it for yourself.

Peeps and circus peanuts are NOTHING alike. Circus peanuts are whipped, but they are not spongy flavorless balls of sugar like marshmallows. I can actually eat up to about a dozen circus peanuts. I don't think I could choke down even one peep...

Peeps have enough chemicals in them to survive several nuclear blasts and stay fresh. Deep fry them.

don't freezum... try this instead...
