Easter is fast approaching! Yes, it’s true. While we’re still recovering from Valentine’s Day—buying cards and sneaking bites of our kids’ chocolate—March brings us only St. Patrick’s Day and National Submarine Day on the 17th. So, we might as well knock those two out in one go.
Easter is notorious for its promotional frenzy, and that means Peeps are back in the spotlight. Now, those colorful marshmallow treats have teamed up with Oreos, leading us to wonder whether we’ve entered some kind of culinary twilight zone. It seems like every year, Oreo decides to experiment in their own version of a mad scientist’s lab, and this time, they’ve produced Peeps Oreos. According to reports, these cookies feature two golden wafers filled with bright pink marshmallow Peeps-flavored cream and coated in sugar. “Thank goodness they’re sugar-coated; I was worried they’d lack sweetness,” said a person who clearly has a sweet tooth.
Let’s be honest: Peeps are not exactly a culinary delight. They claim to be a combination of marshmallows and colored sugar, but let’s face it, most of us know they’re better suited for microwave jousting than actual consumption. The reality is, Peeps are more about fun than flavor. Yet, there are still those who are determined to find new ways to get us to eat these sugary blobs, which is how we ended up with Peeps Oreos. Putting a Peep inside an Oreo? That’s like crushing a baby chick in a junkyard’s car compactor. “Where’s the chick, Mom?” “Oh, that pink mush? That’s all that remains, and that’s why we keep Peeps far away from our Oreos.”
Imaginative—and Questionable—Ways to Enjoy Peeps
While we’re on the subject, here are some imaginative—and questionable—ways people have turned Peeps into “food”:
- Peeps Popcorn: Picture this—burning Peeps until they resemble goo and pouring them over popcorn. Delicious, right?
- Peep-driving Twinkies: A sugary disaster on wheels, racing you straight to Diabetes Junction!
- Peep-tinis: Because your martini needed more sugar, now you can add marshmallow flavor to the mix.
- Peeps on a Stick: A skewered treat that’s either difficult to eat or just plain unsettling.
- Swimming Peeps: Bright yellow Peeps floating in blue Jell-O—a sight that makes you question reality.
- Peep Pie: This looks suspiciously like a 14-year-old’s art project gone wrong.
- Peeps Centerpiece: A bizarre homage to dessert horror, with layers of graham crackers and custard.
- Peeps in a Hot Tub: Finally, some Peep food we can rally behind! Not that we’d actually eat it, but it’s a fun image.
So, can we agree to stop pretending Peeps are food, Oreo? They are meant for jousting, decorating, and bizarre scenarios—not for actual consumption. Just give us one classic cookie and spare us the madness.

In summary, Peeps Oreos have arrived, and though they may not be the most appetizing combination, they continue to highlight the absurdity of seasonal marketing. As we embrace the quirky traditions of Easter, let’s remember the true purpose of Peeps: they’re for play, not for eating.
