Easter is just around the corner! Yes, I know Valentine’s Day has barely finished, and you’re still recovering from all those heart-shaped chocolates. But with only St. Patrick’s Day and National Submarine Day on the calendar for March, you can check those off the list in one go.
Easter brings with it a wave of marketing, and that means Peeps are back in the spotlight. And now, these sugary marshmallow treats have teamed up with Oreos, leading to a bizarre combination that raises questions about the state of the universe. Seriously, it’s time we start considering colonizing the moon. Thanks, Oreo.
Oreo, already notorious for its overwhelming variety of flavors, has unleashed Peeps Oreos: two golden cookies filled with a bright pink, marshmallow Peeps-flavored crème and coated in sugar. It’s almost comforting to know they’re covered in sugar; heaven forbid they wouldn’t be sweet enough for the sugar enthusiasts out there.
Let’s be honest: Peeps are pretty gross. Yes, I said it. These so-called treats are merely colored sugar and marshmallows, and we all know they’re not meant for consumption. Peeps are for fun—specifically, for microwaving and staging epic jousting matches. That’s their true purpose.
Yet, there are those among us who insist on finding new culinary uses for Peeps, which is how we ended up with them stuffed inside Oreos. And let’s be real: squishing a Peep into an Oreo feels a bit like a crime against nature. “Mom, where did the chick go?” “Oh, that flat pink part? That’s all that’s left. And that’s why we don’t mix Peeps with cookies!”
Creative (and Questionable) Ways to Use Peeps
If you’re curious about the creative (and questionable) ways people are using Peeps in the kitchen, here are a few very interesting ideas I stumbled upon:
- Peeps Popcorn: Imagine melting Peeps, pouring the sugary goo over popcorn, and then regretting your life choices.
- Peeps Driving Twinkies: A sugary disaster on wheels, perfect for those with a love for over-the-top sweets.
- Peep-tinis: Because your martini absolutely needed a sugary makeover.
- Peeps On A Stick: Some look delicious, others are best left unseen.
- Swimming Peeps: Bright yellow Peeps floating in blue Jello—a sight that feels like a fever dream.
- Peep Pie: More like Peep mush sandwiches, as if someone had a strange sense of humor.
- Peeps In A Hot Tub: Now this is a Peep concept I can get behind!
Let’s stop pretending Peeps are actual food, okay, Oreo? They’re for jousting, decorating, and, well, hot tubbing. And honestly, we just want one simple cookie flavor. Enough is enough!

In summary, Peeps Oreos might be here, but that doesn’t mean we have to embrace them as a legitimate dessert option. Let’s stick to what Peeps are truly for and hope Oreo reigns in its flavor experiments.
