You should freeze the peeps if you try this again!! Isn’t that how state fairs make fried butter n shit? They freeze it in little balls so by the time the frying is done it’s not frozen anymore. Although I suppose frying frozen things is dangerous idk

Yeah, and in a thick batter rather than breading, to prevent bleed-out during deep frying. I feel bad for being kind of relieved that he liked this. On the one claw, it’s still garbage he’s shoving into his (rapidly aging, deteriorating) body for our amusement. But on the other claw, at least this torture was pleasant.

I’m glad you liked it but for the sake of everyone and everything, please don’t do it again!

You know...I'm not sure why I didn't think of freezing them. I did think about encasing them in pancake batter but we didn't have any milk! Both of you are geniuses.

Am I the only food writer who adores Peeps or is it because I live in France and they taste like nostalgia? Either way I have friends that bring them to me in exchange for local artisan chocolates. I would never fry Peels but I wouldn’t turn down a taste or two of your double down. For research sake, of course.

If I ever come to France I'll bring any, we'll get ripped on wine, and use only the finest French ingredients to make one

Oh my dear God. I think Elvis would balk at that one. Caution sir, us Asians are prone to diabetes. But frankly hold the mayo and fry it in butter... I'm on board. Lots of good treatments for diabetes after all.

I fucking love peeps and im not ashamed.

Also, my insane family has a bonfire the night before easter. We roast peeps over the fire...the sugar melts and toasts. It is glorious.

Wrap a roasted peep in bacon? I mean....

If Jebus rose again I'm reasonably confident this shit sent him straight back into hiding. There is no hope for us, Dannis Ree, no hope at all.
