Peeps. You see them on shelves at grocery stores, in the candy aisle at the pharmacy, and over at, uh… well, that’s it, really. Supermarkets and pharmacies are really the only places we’re allowed to go these days.

The point is, Peeps are virtually everywhere this time of year. And that's despite the fact that the candy manufacturer that makes Peeps — Just Born — was forced to suspend production amid the coronavirus outbreak. (Just Born had already sent out its seasonal shipment before production was put on hold.)

Heck, even if you can’t remember purchasing any Peeps, chances are there’s a package of the pastel treats somewhere in your pantry, perhaps leftover from last year’s Easter season, or inherited from the previous owners of your house.

But this year, instead of simply putting the Peeps out by the candy dish, where they’ll quickly be eaten or ignored, why not use those Peeps for a greater purpose by baking them into other, more intricate desserts?

After all, it’s not like there’s anything else to do. You’ve got nothing but time!
