Peepshi

I discovered the concept of peepshi last weekend, right around the time the amount of Peeps sold go into overdrive because of Easter. A quick trip to the grocery store and before I knew it, my friend and I were settled in our lounge, getting busy making peepshi.
They’re not hard to make at all; the only things you need are Rice Krispie treats, Fruit-by-the-Foot, and Peeps. Peepshi are very sticky to make (so much marshmallow is involved!) but the disgustingly hot lounge may have been a factor in all the stickiness, as a floormate was using the oven to bake cookies at the same time. Still, the peepshi were lots of fun to make. The nigiri peepshi were a lot easier to make because I didn’t have to roll the Rice Krispie into a circle and stuff extra Peep filling inside, unlike the maki. Also, the maki required me to decapitate various Peeps :P
As fun as they were to make, eating them was a total sugar overload. I personally only managed one, as did my friend whom I made the peepshi with. We gave out the rest of them to the floor by offering them to people we bumped into as we made rounds in the dorms!

Hi, I'm Manda. I'm a college student studying communications and languages. I like to read, shop, bake, and travel. I have a tendency to listen to my favorite songs on repeat for hours on end. Sometimes I catch myself thinking in a language other than English. 
They’re kind of cute looking (you could probably make so many different shapes and scenes and such with them), but I think I would probably throw up if I ate them. XD No offense to you or your creation, but marshmallows make me feel uneasy just plain, let alone with other sugary things with them.
Oh, I only like marshmallows in Rice Krispies. I ate a maki peepshi and took the Peep head off it before I ate it :P
Haha that is absolutely adorable!
I’ve never heard of them before, but they’re so cute! I would have loved to be one of those people in your dorm who you handed them out to.
(What I wrote before wikipedia-ing ‘peepshi’): They’re so adorable. They remind me of sushi for some reason. I don’t even know why.
BUT HEYY they’re supposed to look like sushi :D They’re so cute!
