How to Make Giant Marshmallow Peeps

See how to make Giant Marshmallow Peeps

Peeps are marshmallow treats coated with sugar.  Here in the United States they are available in stores around the Easter holiday.  When I was a child I remember having them lining my Easter basket on Easter Sunday.  

I enjoy Peeps but only when they are fresh.  Some people only like peeps after they have gone stale.  I like the soft gooey marshmallow as I separate the head of the Peep from the body.  My brother loves them after they have been exposed to the air for a few days.

Whatever way you like your Peeps you will no doubtably like a giant Peep.
