Ah, Twinkies. Bar shaped, golden cake on the outside, creamy filling on the
inside. Produced by Hostess Brands, who went bankrupt, but in such a way
that they are still around. Coming back to store shelves this summer.

Like Peeps, things have been done with Twinkies.

And like Peeps, I've never actually had a Twinkie. Which probably makes me
UnAmerican.

And now you need to explain to those of us who aren't American, what the
peeps of Easter candy are?  After 13 years of living in IL, I've heard
the name , but don't know what it means!

Thank you for that explanation. I've always wondered but never stopped and
asked before!

 Sue,
 They are marshmallow figures in shapes of chicks, rabbits and eggs. They
 were originally just chicks in yellow marshmallow. Now they have all
 different shapes and colors to include yellow, pink, blue  green.  They
 are now making them for Christmas in different shapes too.
 Hope this helps.

Sorry about not explaining what peeps are in the US. For those of you who do
not know about peep marshmallow treats. They originally came out at Easter.
They where a marshmallow shaped as a chick covered all over in yellow sugar.
Now they are now available  all year long come in  and come in different
shapes and color to corresponding with what holiday is coming up. You either
like them or don't. There is a following that has diorama contest with this
tasty treat. go to

I did think of the peeps. I've never actually had one. They seem to have a
cult following, just like twinkees.
