I was so bad!!! Like- I have been so good about hitting the gym instead of caving to all the piles of Easter candy in my cabinet – until the other day. I have always had a deep affection for Peeps & I get super excited when it comes this time of year & they are out in stores. I don’t know…..it’s probably the fact that it’s a marshmallow covered in fun colored sugar. I mean- for a marshmallow lover like myself – it really doesn’t get better than that. I love them when they are super fresh & soft. I also really love them when they are a little stale because they have been sitting exposed in the Easter basket overnight. It’s all good for me & when they started making them for other holidays too- my world changed. But there is still something about the Easter originals that make me happy. So there they were in my cabinet, calling to me. So I gave in to the temptation & I made this ultra yummy Peep Ice Cream Syrup.
This prepares super quick- so by the time your partner in crime is done scooping the ice cream- it’s done.
I could eat this all day – everyday.

Love how simple this fun syrup is, Gina! Now I can’t wait to pick out a fun color… gosh, they are all fun. You’re not the only one that likes to eat these when they are a little on the stale side! 🙂
Gina Kleinworth says
That is so cool Gloria! Love knowing that about you.
BTW – you wouldn’t happen to be going to SNAP! Conference are you?? I would LOVE to see you.
Gloria Phillips says
Gina, I sure wish I was going. I wasn’t able to snag a ticket before they sold out a while ago. It would be awesome to meet up with you… especially since I live in the area. Get a hold of me and let me know what kind of schedule you have while you’re in town. 🙂
