Easter poppler

Alert reader Bob M. calls our attention to this year's must-have Easter device: the Peeps Marshmallow Maker.

I have to admit I’m addicted. Every year at this time, my knees get weak and my eyes light up when I see one of the first signs of spring: marshmallow Peeps on store shelves. Those super-sweet, neon colored delights always bring a smile to my face. What could be better?
How about a machine that lets you make your own Peeps at home? Best known for Frisbees, Hula Hoops, Hacky Sacks and the original SuperBall, the wizards at Wham-o have now created the Marshmallow Peeps Marshmallow Maker. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on one. […]

I have to confess, I've never been a huge Peeps fan. As a kid, I used to eat them (along with everything else in my Easter basket). But I think that the only candy I like less than Peeps (stale or fresh) is the Cadbury Cream Egg. Stranger still is this recipe for homemade Cadbury Cream Eggs— blarrgh.

More Peep-y goodness: "scientific" research and Marshmallow Peeps in Outer Space.

Wait, wait. Let me check... [scanning] ...nope, nope. Neither Peeps nor Cadbury eggs on my list of candy. Keep in mind that my list of candy that I actually do like is really short and generally revolves around chocolate. I've never taken to sweet candy.

I'm just dying for a good Chocolate Cross. ;)

That was supposed to say Easter Cross, guess I messed something up.

Fixed now. You had a ) instead of a > for the end of your href.
