Love this headline!! That's the kind of thing that just reminds me forgive Gothamist its trespasses (cough, mugshot, cough).

I'm also going to experiment with a Cadbury Egg cookie...

It's fun to microwave Peeps. They expand. They can get pretty big. I, too, prefer the Cadbury Cream Eggs. Party City on 14th St has a ton. Try Rite Aid, CVS and Walgreens, too.

The cadbury eggs are all gone because stores start putting them out in January. How cruel!

Bryan - you can get them at TARGET. TARGET! I got a bag full a week or so ago, and they were on sale for $1.33 for four. They also had the mini ones. They also had Lindt carrot-shaped chocolates. The Target store is one stop from Canal Street on the N train.

It's times like this that I hate this city. There is not a Cream Egg for miles. Every deli is the same: "Waaaah? eggggs? whaaaat you want? No. No eggs." and since Duane Reade runs this town and has decided not to carry them, they are not to be found.

I too roast Peeps over a gas stove with a candy or serving fork. I find them best after a week of "aging" by exposure to air. As far as Cadbury Eggs, I'd highly suggest battering and deep frying!

#1 Thanks for ruining my peep feast with this PETA sponsored guilt trip. I will still eat tons of them this Easter.

I would like to add one treat on here that has surely never been discussed. My girlfriend is a peeps fanatic, I would guess she consumes about 40 a week. Anywho. Her preferred method of eating them is to shove them on a knife to be roasted over the range (You'll need a gas stove). They are Peeps s'mores. She calls them... "Spores"
