How To: Roast Peeps

It is Easter and like millions of other Americans we have Peeps in the house! Our kids took one taste...

and rejected this classic sugar coated marshmallow.

But Rob suggested, what if you roasted a Peep, like you would a marshmallow, hmmm, so, having no campfire, we broiled them instead.

The results were pretty noteworthy, I think the taste was much improved. Here are the before and after results:













To broil a Peep, place Peep or Peeps on a cooling rack and place the rack over a cake pan (in case of drips). Position top rack so that the Peep will be about 5 inches from the broiler. Heat broiler to 500 and pop in the Peep. Watch closely for the sugar to caramelize, serve immediately.

If they didn't like the taste of them broiled, you could try microwaving them. It doesn't make them taste better, but it's a lot of fun to watch.

I bet it is a lot of fun to watch! Do they explode?
