NO PEEPS FOR ME

Back in the 50's our Easter baskets had the pretty pastel colored marshmallow eggs nestled down in the grass, and usually a chocolate bunny, and some jelly beans. I loved the jelly beans and the bunny, but I was always to disappointed that those pretty pastel eggs were not as good as they looked. I did not like marshmallow.

But as I look back now, I am thankful for those pretty pastel eggs, because if it had been a few years later, it would have been these:

I do not know when Peeps came along, and I can never understand how they have stayed around. I do not think even a pretty pastel candy coating would improve them. It is like eating a mouth full of sugar.
