I could be sadistic and watch one of them melt in some hot chocolate.
But the Peeps police is going to get me now that I am found out!!!
You gotta try it with the snowman shapes around Christmas.
Pooooor little snowman! bye bye!

They are great for launching into low orbit with a model rocket... "The Terror of the Peeps at 40,000 Feet".
April Fools Day, 2000: For the past two years, NASA scientists at the Marshall Space Flight Center, in cooperation with ham radio enthusiasts, have pursued a high-flying program to investigate the meteoroid population of the stratosphere. One after another, weather balloons have been launched carrying a special dust collector designed to capture high-speed but fragile meteoroids. The first weather balloon mission was during the Leonids meteor shower on November 17, 1998. Subsequent flights included the 1999 Perseid meteor shower, the 1999 Leonids meteor storm, and a control flight on April 11, 1999 when no meteor showers were active.
These flights were reported in earlier stories. However, one fascinating and tragic aspect of the story was not announced until now. The April 11 flight included five brave passengers -- intrepid explorers who never returned. Where they went, and how, remains a mystery.
Stowed away on the weather balloon sent aloft in April 1999 were five tiny Peeps. How they got there is controversial. Most of his colleagues think they were smuggled on board by Bryan Walls, an irreverent member of the launch team. However it happened, one thing is clear -- these Peeps were not purchased with tax dollars and NASA does not endorse these brightly colored sweet treats!
The balloon launch was nominal with no major problems. Strong winds at the launch site were something of a concern, but proved not to be a major hazard. Telemetry from the payload reported the position of the balloon and returned spectacular video footage of the ground and the sky. But everything did not go as planned.
Soon afterward the balloon ruptured on schedule at an altitude of 110,000 ft. Unfortunately, no one had briefed the Peeps about this part of the mission! The audio downlink transmitted a mixture of wind and the payload's audio beacon. You can clearly hear the sounds of rushing wind when the balloon popped (at something over 100,000 feet) and began its plummet toward the ground.
As the payload fell toward Earth, the attached parachute began to work. The balloon gently drifted downward toward a tree in Georgia. It was recovered within about 3 hours by volunteer balloon chasers Ralph Fowler and Eddie Foust about 5 miles west of Adairsville on the property of Chet Hale. However, the Peeps in their capsule, as well as the top-mounted Plexiglas xerogel sample capture device, were missing!

Oh Jeebus, those things make me paranoid. My closet was haunted by a Purple Bunny Peep one time...One was left in my Easter basket and I discovered it MONTHS later in a shoe. A few months later I found a Purple Bunny Peep AGAIN...it was disposed of...then I found ANOTHER one, purplish and rabbity! (or was it the same one every time? D=)
They creep me out, and they don't taste very good either. There is something sickly satisfying about watching one poofify in the microwave, though. =)
