Just Born Peeps

In the long line of quintessentially American foods behind Jell-O, Velveeta and SPAM lies the Marshmallow Peep. They used to only come around Easter time, which is March 31st this year, but they have expanded to be year 'round treats. The Just Born history details the little critters evolution. Even Martha Stewart has a Marshmallow treats kit so you can make your very own if you have lots of time and homemaking on your mind. Jarkko made me try herring in Finland so I'm working my way up to feeding him Velveeta by way of the peeps and I don't think Peeps would be a hit in Helsinki. :)
