Peeps Fest!
Peeps! They’re not just for Easter anymore! And, to prove it, there’s a Peeps Fest December 30 and 31, 2009, at Spring and Main streets in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The fest highlights “the delightful confection that has won the hearts and taste buds of people throughout the nation. It’s two days of great music, art and family fun right here in the city where Peeps are born!” Needless to say, Road Trips Foodies, this is a family event complete with musicians, clowns and Peeps-themed arts and crafts. Kids can even make their own s’mores — with Peeps, of course. If that weren’t enough, during the week between Christmas and the New Year, some of Bethlehem’s finest restaurants will be featuring desserts featuring Peeps as a central ingredient.
And, speaking of recipes, here’s an easy one:
