Since I'm not doing the A-Z Challenge this year, I thought I'd attract new followers through a suggestive post title. And could there be a more sacred week for a Peep Show? Passover starts on Monday night, 4/10. This celebration of freedom, with a focus on compassion for the oppressed, lasts for eight days. So Passover overlaps this year with Good Friday and Easter. Woohoo!
Now, the real reason for this post: chocolate samplings.
There's a chocolate covered Peep on the left, and a chocolate dipped macaroon* on the right. (*coconut cookie that's a traditional Passover dessert)
Adults tend to either hate or really hate Peeps. Aside from the outrageously loud, carcinogenic-like coloring and the annoyingly sweet, sticky innards, what's there to hate? I loved my Peep.
I devoured my Peep. The milk chocolate covering was yummy, as was the bright
yellow marshmallow chick. And then it was gone.
Next, the macaroon. The coconut, which I typically dislike, was fresh and rich and nicely textured and light and semi-sweet. I only wished it had been dipped in more chocolate. A LOT more chocolate. I barely tasted the chocolate, and this made me sad.
I give the chocolate dipped Peep an 8, and the chocolate dipped macaroon a 7. With a total of 15 on a 1-10 scale, you're bound to have an extra sweet and sacred holiday week.

WARNING: The following Peep Show cannot be unseen. Please do not see it if you do not have a strong constitution. And for all of us in the United States, the constitution is weakening by the minute, so I suggest you close your eyes and move on. I'm posting this more for the Boycott American Women guy who's been trolling blogland for at least 6+ years and has 2 followers. Two!I'm also posting this for all the people who drop by and say "Visit me" numerous times in various languages. Yet they never follow my blog or buy my books, which I'm kind enough to inform them of numerous times. However, they tend to praise me for my informative posts. Granted, I take credit for my achievements, but an educational blog is not one of them.
Have a great week, dears. Okay, you've been warned...
This one's for you, creepster peeps.
We don't have peeps over here. For which I am probably grateful.
ReplyDeleteThis week my chocolate indulgence has been smothered over dried mango. Two of my favourite things. Together.
Have a wonderful week - and year(s) to come.
Mango is one of Mother Nature's best.
DeleteA wonderful week plus to you too, EC. Thank you.
I might try a Peep that was covered in black chocolate. I prefer it black and bitter, like Spike Lee. The Boycott American Women guy has left comments on my blog too! Always the same damned irritating comment.
ReplyDeleteHe can't think of more than one comment in 6+ years, GB.
DeleteI prefer my chocolate dark, like my men. Wink.
Chocolate marshmallow Peeps! None to be found here. We just taught some friends about "Peeps." Macaroons are popular here but I don't know if I can find my favorite chocolate macaroons dipped in chocolate.
ReplyDeletePlease, if you do Mitchell, post the chocolate dipped macaroon on your blog so I can taste vicariously. Chag Sameach.
DeleteI wouldn't eat the peep, but I love your Minion mat. I have that same one! LOL
ReplyDeleteIt's funny, Diane. I thought of you when I took the photo and I think of you when I think of the Minions. It's a compliment - to the Minions. =)
DeleteI don't like peeps either but maybe covered in chocolate. I always love the choc covered marshmallow eggs/candy so maybe this would be basically the same.
ReplyDeleteEgg candies are even better, JoJo. You're fine sticking with those.
DeleteWell! The peep show was worth it, I must say!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Debra. Happy Easter!
DeleteI love peeps unconditionally.
ReplyDeleteI love them when they are fresh and fluffy.
I love them when they are stale and chewy.
I love them when are tough and squashed together.
I love them whether they are yellow or pink or blue.
I love them almost as much as I love you.
WINNER for the most endearing and clever comment of the year so far: WILMA! Aw shucks. Thank you. Happy Easter!
DeletePeeping with food or Trump, sure doesn't make a umm bump lol
ReplyDeleteThat kind of peep is never good.
DeleteIt'd make you barf, it's understood.
I've never had a chocolate-covered peep, but I bet I'd like it. There's something about that glittery grittery sugar that I love. Combine it with chocolate? Oh, yes. I enjoyed peeping at you, too.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Thanks, JJ. They are fun and yummy.
DeleteLove.
I don't care much for Peeps, but maybe I would like them better if they were coated in chocolate. The macaroon sounds yummy too. And I agree, more chocolate couldn't help but make anything better.
ReplyDeleteChocolate never hurts.
DeleteThanks, Connie.
Come visit me! Your butt is very informative.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I hope this means you enjoyed the Peep Show, Shoshanah. Smiles.
DeleteHappy Spring Holiday time.
But you are the source of my news, information, scandal, date advice, and all things chocolate. No Coconut!!!
ReplyDeleteJeepers, creepers, where'd you get those peepers......fun post!!
Thanks for reminder me of that fun jingle. I don't know why I hadn't thought about it til now.
DeleteHappy Easter time, Joanne.
Mrs. Chatterbox loves PEEPS, me not so much.
ReplyDeleteI'm closer to Mrs. C on this one, Stephen.
DeleteMy Mothernlaw loves peeps! I always get her the unusual flavors that they come up with every year. She likes to heat them on a fork over the stove and make smores from them.
ReplyDeleteI am not a fan really but would be willing to try the chocolate ones for sure! Super cute peepshow CHicky! Happy Passover
Mmm, a peep s'more. Nice idea. Thanks to you and your MIL, Holli.
DeleteHappy Easter.
The chocolate dipped macaroon looks tasty. As soon as I get over the plague and get my sense of taste back I am going to find one. I used to buy the occasional coconut just to have a tasty snack now and then. I'm too lazy now to process one.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lot of work. The macaroon form is much more user friendly. =)
DeleteBe well, Jono, and Happy Easter.
I read somewhere that the Donner party ate their peeps.
ReplyDeleteHand over hand? An eye for an eye? How nosey of them. They kneed-ed to. Do you think they split hairs over it? Did any of them get foot in mouth disease? Oh, Al, look what you started.
DeleteI have always liked peeps! Everyone else in my family hates them.
ReplyDeleteThat "boycott american women" idiot, has left several comments on my blog over the last 2-3 years. I've never published any, but he sure is persistent. Oh, thanks for the "peeps."
It's funny that he's still around. Now, relative to the greater scene, he's a benign annoyance. And over all these years, he has 2 twitter followers. (DT and Bannon, perhaps?).
DeleteThanks and you're welcome, Pat.
When I was very little, living on a medieval Portuguese truck farm, I would announce to my grandma,"Preciso ir peeps!", and be excused to the bathroom. This new definition is going to take some getting used to.
ReplyDeleteThat's a cute memory of "peeps." Sorry to replace it with this less heartwarming meaning, Geo.
DeleteWhat a tempting post indeed. I would love to have those food. :)
ReplyDeleteHope you're enjoying the season, Lux.
DeleteNever been big on Peeps. I'm more a Cadbury Creme Egg person. Yum.
ReplyDeleteCadbury eggs are divine.
DeleteI have no clue what a peep is. I'm glad you had that peep show....it looks yellow.....no comment:) now I am a sucker for chocolate covered marshmellows
ReplyDeleteVery, very yellow. Yikes.
DeletePeeps are one of my favorite treats in all the land. Add some chocolate on those Peeps and I'm a happy turtle! Yummy! I hope you enjoyed your Passover were surrounded by friends for Seder.
ReplyDeleteI did. Thanks, hon.
DeleteShakin that ass Robyn! Never to be unseen indeed! I'm all worked up now. At work! Hmmmm I may have to find a quiet room and have a little peep.
ReplyDeleteNice tittie grope Trump.
Peep ya later!
xo
Haha. I'm glad someone caught Trump's grope. Or I'm glad someone was bold enough to praise him for it. You make me laugh, Anthony. Thank you!
Deletexo
Using Peeps for S'Mores while camping. Giddy up!
ReplyDeleteNOTE: I mean the marshmallow confection, not friends. I regret any confusion.
Too late, Al. There's a party that started eating those s'mores already (the Donner party).
