Peeps vs Candy Corn

[solobiker]

Okay, so I know some of you love Peeps. I honestly think I have only had 1 in my life. Now if you ask me about candy corn that is a whole different story. Gosh I am addicited to those things, usually by the time Halloween is here I am sick of them. Granted they are not in 5 food groups, and it can't even be considered a "food" but for some reason I really like them. That is my one weakness this time of year:D

[mimitabby]

candy corn is not high on my list of foods that i cannot resist.

I do like peeps tho.
we still have some stale ones on top of the fridge for weak moments.

then there is chocolate, one of my daily vitamins.

[RoadRaven]

excuse me, but what are Peeps???

[salsabike]

Road Raven, this site will not only ID Peeps for you but provide direct Peeps entertainment.

http://www.peepresearch.org/

Yup, I really like candy corn too.

[snapdragen]

Marshmallow goodness...best if "aged".

[teigyr]

Love the peeps AND candy corn :D

Cadbury Eggs are my ultimate downfall.

[oxysback]

Candy corn!!

Can't stand Peeps. Eww.

[Veronica]

peeps and candy corn .... ewwww.

Give me some good milk chocolate.

But diversity is what makes the world an interesting place.

[SadieKate]

peeps and candy corn .... ewwww.

Give me some good DARK chocolate. ..

A little creative editing and now you're talkin'.:p

[suzieqtwa]

Candy corn..................peeps are just, UCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Veronica]

A little creative editing and now you're talkin'.:p

Hey, that's not fair! :eek: Moderator, moderate her!

[makbike]

I'm a card carrying member of the Peeps Fan Club! I have a Peeps t-shirt, a Peeps hat and I've visited the official Peeps Fun Bus. I LOVE PEEPS!

[Zen]

as much of a sugar freak as I am, both choices repulse me.

[Running Mommy]

Oh boy... candy corn. Peeps only if they are stale, or I'm feeling desperate for sugar... Love the candy corn with the brown bottom best. fako chocolate! :p

Ok, I need to get sugar off the brain!
Tomorrow is a new day and I vow to EAT CLEAN for the rest of the week. MUST LOSE AT LEAST ONE POUND THIS WEEK!!!
I really want to hit a milestone going into next week. I'll be at Interbike that next week, so I need some momentum going into it. A week eating in Vegas is gonna be HELL on the diet..

[maillotpois]

Candy corn. Sort of.

I'm eating an Abba Zabba as we speak, so what do I know?

[Beane]

my vote would be for peeps. but really, do they have to compete? i mean, candy corn is a halloween thing and peeps are so easter.

[michelem]

What do you mean, candy corn is not one of the 5 food groups? Are you trying to tell me that corn isn't a vegetable? :eek: My husband tried to make me believe this as well, but he hasn't convinced me yet. :p

[RoadRaven]

OK OK...

I get the Peeps thing... thanks for the link Salsa... but I'll join Zen, Oxys, Veronica... they look waaaay to sweet for me... though they are cute.

Now clarification on candy corn... is that like popcorn? But drizzled with sugary/toffeeish stuff (like caramel corn?)

Road ~living-in-ignorance ~ Raven

[snapdragen]

Nope, no real corn involved; candy corn is pure sugar. :D

http://www.candyusa.org/Candy/candycorn.asp

[Wahine]

I had noooooooooooo idea.

Peeps and candy corn. I'd have to say eeeewwwwwwwww to both.

Now good chocolate (milk or dark, preferrably with nuts) is a whole different story. Oh, and I love cream eggs too. Thank god they're only out once a year!!

[RoadRaven]

ok... so candy corn is solid sugar lollies... i think i could go for those... but not toooooo many

:)

but in this thread, think i like the dark chocolate or chocolate milk options...

:D

[DirtDiva]

I'm with SK on this one. :p

[crazycanuck]

RoadRaven...I had the pleasure of being sent some peeps last year from one of the lovely ladies round here....Let's just say they're not on my list of things i want to eat all the time. They taste like marshmallows and come in some interesting themed shapes & sizes plus they last quite a long time the freezer!!! (:o )

I think i'd rather eat tim tams!

C

[lyca]

mmmmm....

I vote for candy corn......mixed with peanuts! :)

Yummmmmmmmmmmm

[Aquila]

Peeps have also made important contributions in theater!

http://www.theplainjane.com/peep_plays/ (http://http://www.theplainjane.com/peep_plays/)

I suggest the Peeps Romeo and Juliet.

[snapdragen]

Bravo! Bravo! Romeo and Juliet as I have never seen before!:rolleyes: :D

[Velobambina]

Candy corn and peeps make my teeth hurt. Too sweet. Kind of like the candy circus peanuts (anyone remember those)?

I'm w/the chocolate crowd. Around Halloween, I get cravings for Clark Bars, something we'd get plenty of during trick or treating (way back in the 70s).

[mimitabby]

I LOVE CIRCUS PEANUTS!

sometimes they are for sale in the drugstore in these pathetic little cellophane packages. There are only 7 in a package. Raleighdon and I have to share. They don't last very long.

Circus peanuts? Yuk!!

A day that will live in infamy....

[aka_kim]

I have tears in my eyes ...

[maillotpois]

I have tears in my eyes ...

Bwwwaahahaha!

I'll bet you have tears in your eyes - LOSER! :D

[aka_kim]

LOL. Put your winnings to good use, something to better humanity. Peeps for all, maybe. "A Peep in every basket.", yeah, I like that.

[snapdragen]

Oh my. :p

And now for something completely different....


HALLOWEEN PEEPS!

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h181/snapdragen/h-peeps.jpg

Including the newest offering -- Spooky Friends. They appear to be individually wrapped Peeps. Proof that there is a God, and s/he loves Peeps.

[mimitabby]

and Halloween season is probably... (now?) in our local supermarkets!

[Brandi]

Yuck! I don't like either of them. Cadbury eggs (the little one's like m and m's) are my favorite and Jelly bellies!

[RoadRaven]

OK... circus peanuts???

Any real peanut in those? Perhaps covered in candy or choclate? Or no peanuts at all?

And Jelly Bellys are like Jelly Babies??? Maybe???


Raven (the lollie-undereducated)

[Zen]

And now for something completely different....


HALLOWEEN PEEPS!

Peeps are scary any time of year :eek:

.

In 1963, General Mills vice president John Holahan inventively discovered that Circus Peanuts shavings yielded a tasty enhancement to his breakfast cereal. General Mills formalized the innovation and created Lucky Charms, the first breakfast cereal to contain marshmallow bits (or "marbits").

YUCK!!!!!
Read about Circus Peanuts here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circus_Peanuts)

[GLC1968]

Circus peanuts? No thank you.

Peeps? Ew...please, no. I can stand them if they are stale, but even then...not my first choice for a sugar fix.

Cadbury Creme Eggs? Not if you paid me...those things are NASTY.

But candy corn? Yeah, I like candy corn. I crave it near Halloween and one bag not only lasts the season, but it kills the craving for a whole year!

Didn't I read somewhere that candy corn were actually a good on-bike food? They don't melt and they are predominantly honey? Fast acting glucose at it's halloweeny best! :p

[mimitabby]

circus peanuts have no peanut and no peanut flavoring. they are an odd combo of fluff and chewy made of pure sugar with light orange food coloring.

[Geonz]

In college a friend of mine fit a circus peanut ever so elegantly into his left nostril. It's a picture I will never forget. I never wanted to eat them before.... and certainly not after!

Candy corn is something I try to resist and I luv the brown-bottom ones. Peeps I dont' have to work so hard at, but I do like the way they sound when I'm crunching that sugar.

I shall munch it all vicariously too,k this week, runningmommy. Tryin' to Be Good This Week.

[sundial]

Well......I have a confession to make.

I ate a whole package of ghost peeps. I couldn't help it. It was calling out to me and it looked lonely sitting on the shelf next to the pumpkin peeps. There are fewer ghost peeps in a package than the pumpkin peeps and I thought to myself that I won't do as much damage with ghost peeps. :rolleyes:

[surgtech1956]

I like BOTH candy corn and peeps. Actually my favorite 'candy time of year' is Easter. I love jelly beans - sour and flavored(Sweet Tarts, Starburst, Life Saver brands).

[farrellcollie]

Smarties - gift from the gods

[short cut sally]

Cadbury Eggs-wayyyy toooo sweet for me
Circus Peanuts make me vomit
Candy corn is doable but only a handful at a time
Peeps-have to be the yellow only- and can be eaten day or night, and the staler they are the better they are. They would be my choice of the confectioners world.

[stacie]

Those are the things left in the bottom of the holiday candy bowl after all the chocolate has been eaten. Usually dumped in the garbage around here.

[solobiker]

I can do without the circus peanuts and cadbury eggs. But I would have to agree with chocolate being on the top of the list. I usually don't endulge in to many sweets, I am not a cookie fan or a cake fan so that leaves chocolate to be my weakness.

[East Hill]

Cadbury eggs for the win! Hey, come on, I have had many a rellie working for Cadbury's over the years, as me mum's side of the family are Brummies.

Not a Peeps eater. Mr. East Hill sneaks in some candy corn every once in a while, and I'll have a nibble.

Here's another interesting link to stir the pot on Circus Peanuts:

[nancielle]

Peeps. They have to be stale (learned that from mom!) I have two very well aged ones (a blue and a purple chick) that sit on a shelf in my office right next to a card that a former co-worker gave me depicting a "Marshmallow Chick-aholic Anonymous" meeting. Several years ago said co-worker and I tried to get the Peeps to joust in the office microwave. The powers that be were not amused.

[divingbiker]

circus peanuts--ick

candy corn-ick ick

peeps--ick ick ick

None of these will every pass my lips again.

[Zen]

Been a long time been a long time been a long lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely time
since I've tasted any of these delicacies, but strangely enough this thread has given me the desire to do just that.

I won't even have to spend my own money on the Circus Peanuts, my mom always has some!

I will pass on the kraut juice, though.

[7rider]

circus peanuts--ick

candy corn-ick ick

peeps--ick ick ick

None of these will every pass my lips again.

Agreed.
But I'd put them in a slightly different order:
Candy Corn: Ick
Circus Peanuts: Ick, Ick
Peeps: Ick, Ick, Ick.

Candy corn have passed my lips on exceedingly rare occasions, but none of the others. I'd have to be alone on a deserted island first with nothing else to eat.

I have a friend who would only eat peeps when they were left out and stale. Then, they "changed the formula" and NEVER got stale!!! They never hardened up or did whatever made them palatable to her. Just that thought alone made them evem MORE frightening to me to consider as a food item.

[mimitabby]

Regina, I don't know what peeps your friend is getting, but my peeps still get stale very nicely in about a week of sitting on top of the refrigerator!

no icks here; WE like all that junk. our strategy is to not buy it often so it doesn't become one of the major food groups!!

[sgtiger]

Guilty pleasure:o -I like to toast my peeps 'til the sugar forms a crispy carmelly crust (like sugar top of creme brulee) and the marshmallow becomes a viscous goo. Dunno but I like it better than regular toasted marshmallows. I have to be very careful not to catch the things on fire or they taste burnt. Uck! It takes a bit of time to get right and usually the first one gets sacrificed because I get too close to the burner. Oh boy! Now my secrets out.:eek: :p :D

[salsabike]

I think this thread is a total kick! I am clearly a philistine because I don't like Cadbury eggs. Also, Mimi, I used to hate circus peanuts but in recent years have to come really like them. This amuses Chris no end, since he is convinced there is no organic material in circus peanuts. Oh WELL. Whatever. Pass me that 7-peanut bag, please.

sgtiger, great Peeps innovation!

[snapdragen]

I'm in the ick camp when it comes to Cadbury Eggs too. They make me gag.

Toasted Peeps...must find a campfire.....:D

[DirtDiva]

I think you creme egg haters just aren't eating them right - bite the top off, scoop out the goo with your finger then eat the thick, chocolatey shell. And don't be afraid to make a mess. :D

[RoadRaven]

+1 :cool:

[stacie]

Pass on the cadbury eggs. I like the ones filled with caramel or even better is the chocolate truffle. Dove eggs are so good.

[Kimmyt]

No Cadbury eggs for me! That gooey sugar is way too sweet, and I've never been a fan of Cadbury chocolate.

If I'm gonna choose, it's gotta be those Reese's peanut butter eggs (and pumpkins, and hearts and.....)

chocolate and peanut butter for the win! :D

[Pedal Wench]

I just saw the Hershey's Kisses have a new Candy Corn flavor. Must go investigate...

[smilingcat]

my partner was in search to get her fix of peeps. Haven't found any yet this season.

I'll pass on both peeps and candy corn.

My chocolate: Callebaut, Guittard, Valrhona. Generally wok with Callebaut 5kilo blocks yummmm.... gooey berry brownies.... yummmm

for finished chocolate goodies: Lindt by far the best for its price.get'em at TJs.

Overpriced but still okay Godiva (it was bought out by Campbell Soup Company) tastes more like nestles than the original Godiva. I miss the old Godiva. I still think it tastes like Nestles maybe because of corn syrup and other non-chocolate stuff. I could of sworn it was owned by Nestles. The explosion of Godivia outlet went from Paris, Brussels and NYC to "on every corner" in the late '70s... :confused: :confused:

Ses's is always a good standby, never pass them up.

Smilingcat

[teigyr]

Fudge, preferably handmade/specialty store made. No nuts. Nuts get in the way of pure fudge indulgence.

[Bad JuJu]

For all you people waiting patiently for your Peeps to go stale on top of the refrigerator:
Put them IN the refrigerator--they reach a state of simulated staleness within an hour or so, AND they're a nice chilled treat (only a Floridian would care about a chilled treat at Eastertime...or Halloween, I realize, but there it is.) This is how the Chief likes them best.

I prefer chocolate myself.

[Trek420]

Overpriced but still okay Godiva (aka Nestles) tastes more like nestles than the original Godiva. I miss the old Godiva.

Godiva is Nestles?? :confused: Say it ain't so!

+ 1 on fudge.

Not that keen on Peeps, love Candy Corn and get my fix at work once a holiday season and I'm done. Dark chocolate in any form is best. :) Will stoop as low as M&M's.

Does jelly belly have a candy corn flavor?

[solobiker]

I just saw the Hershey's Kisses have a new Candy Corn flavor. Must go investigate...

My CO-Worker brought some of these into work last week. They taste more like white chocolate, it is a different consistency then what one would expect out of "candy corn". It was hard to get over, kind of like the popcorn flavored jellybeans...Yuckkkkkkkk

[Beane]

I just saw the Hershey's Kisses have a new Candy Corn flavor. Must go investigate...

eeew. I'm a huge fan of regular old hershey kisses. but now they have all these gross weird flavored ones.

my most favorite-ist candy is peanut m & m's. I often have them for lunch or in lieu of a nasty food pellet (clif/luna/power/balance/other energy bar). :D

[teigyr]

No Cadbury eggs for me! That gooey sugar is way too sweet, and I've never been a fan of Cadbury chocolate.

If I'm gonna choose, it's gotta be those Reese's peanut butter eggs (and pumpkins, and hearts and.....)

chocolate and peanut butter for the win! :D

I'd almost say the same thing but I am full of vice. I was in London during Easter once when they were giving out packets of Cadbury eggs with pizza purchase. After the pizza (and obligatory egg) I then went back to my hotel and tried to sleep with the devious little buggers in my room. No such luck, they called to me and I ate them. ALL of them. In one night. Total of 6 :eek:

You'd think I'd be off the eggs and I was for a year or so but alas, not anymore.

[chickwhorips]

We gave peeps to my friend/boss for easter as a joke because she called the 3 of us her peeps. She still has the 3 peeps in her office. I say hi to them every morning. I can also tell if the office is dry or hydrated by how they feel.

I can't believe the shelf life on those things!

I'm not much of a peep or a candy corn kinda girl. Chocolate, yes please, add peanut butter, I'm lost. Also a fan of the cadbury eggs.

[Zen]

Oh,cool!
A way to market Peeps year round!
WeatherPeeps :D

I rode to my mom's house today and told her about this thread. She said these are three of her favorite candies (wonder where I got my sweet tooth:rolleyes:

But mom let me down. She had no Circus Peanuts in stock!

[northstar]

Candy corn wins for me, hands down.

More like fists up, though. Around this time of year, I typically shove an entire bag in my face over the course of two or three days, fistful after fistful, then realize how sick I feel from the sugar binge, and I swear it off for another year.

But oh, the sheer joy I feel at that first handful in my mouth...what sweet sickness...

Peeps? DISGUSTING!!!

Chocolate is in an entirely different category for me. :)

[GLC1968]

eeew. I'm a huge fan of regular old hershey kisses. but now they have all these gross weird flavored ones.



Yes...but as the dark chocolate kisses are technically also one of these new weird flavors, I'm gonna have to disagree with you. Dark chocolate hershey's kiss just ROCKS! :D


Has anyone tried coating candy corn in chocolate? It seems like it might be pretty good and I'm sure that someone, somewhere has tried it. Anyone?

Maybe I have an interesting halloween experiement to do.....

[Hub]

my vote would be for peeps. but really, do they have to compete? i mean, candy corn is a halloween thing and peeps are so easter.

Ditto what beane said.- But the Cadbury question- I respect Cadbury eggs, used to love them- (plus they had one of the greastet TV commericals ever- the bunny that clucked like a chicken)- what up?

I love the Dove truffle eggs- only available at easter-

and Peeps- pink bunnies or yellow chickies only- the blue & purple are too weird for me.

[snapdragen]

Peeps dipped in dark chocolate. Hmmmmm, could be brilliant.:rolleyes:

[mary9761]

20 plus years ago, I used to work in the Candy department in JCPenney. Another form of the candy corn is the different seasonal mellocremes. http://www.dutchvalleyfoods.com/food/ItemDetail.aspx/ItemID/03ba5162-a513-4efd-b79c-5734fbcc45ca I prefer the ones with the faux choco too (mostly the indian corn and thanksgiving mellocremes):D

[mary9761]

When I sold candy, we used to sell nuts too. I had people come all the time wanting peanuts and jelly beans and/or peanuts and candy corn/mellocremes I thought EWWW, till I tried it! OMG the perfect combination of salty and sweet with some crunch. Of course I can't have the nuts at all now with the diverticulosis and should avoid the candy with my diabetes, but periodically just have to.
One of my all time favorites this time of year are the old fashioned Mary Janes, or peanut butter kisses. MMMMM, chewy and peanut buttery... http://www.necco.com/OurBrands/Default.asp?BrandID=1

[Trekhawk]

Those Peeps things dont even resemble what I know as Marshmallow....they are awful!!!

Candy Corn also yuk!!

Now if only people would hand out dark chocolate at Halloween this mum would be happy. As it is I dont get to raid the kids buckets because all of the stuff including those Kisses things are just YUK!!

Let's see.....

Pink Canada Mints
Choco Kitty Peeps
Necco Wafers - Regular and Chocolate
Nestle Smarties (similar to M&Ms)
A Grow your own skeleton

and because I saw them on Unwrapped a couple nights ago, Valomilk cups. Think Reeses Peanut Butter Cup, only instead of peanut butter, it is filled with runny marshmallow. :eek:

I ate the valomilk, but the majority of the other stuff is getting sent off to a friend....providing it survives the night.:rolleyes:

no no no Trekhawk, peeps AREN'T marshmallows. They are something ELSE.
They even have protein in them! yes! it's true. That's why they are not water soluable..

you guys made me hungry too. I made some Castanaccio out of chestnut flour (That I bought in Italy) wheat flower, eggs, a little olive oil and milk.. then I stuck raisins and chopped nuts and a little sugar on the top. it's sort of like a cake and it's not really sweet... it's pretty good though...

okay, back to sugar...

[HappyAnika]

How did I miss this thread?

Candy corn: used to eat some every now and then, but now I won't go near them because 5 years ago I discovered mellowcreme pumpkins, mmmmmm (see below). I find these to be far superior due to their shape and texture, despite tasting nearly identical to candy corn. My rule is no more than 4 a day. The bag must be kept in the pantry, not on the counter, to prevent passing-by-munching.

Peep: love 'em. Around easter I cannot get enough. I was happy to discover that Michael's craft store typically carries peeps for the more obscure holidays, such as Valentine's day and 4th of July. I have had the ghosts and pumpkins, but not the cats. Must track down the cats.

Circus peanuts, interesting, I don't care for these much. But I LOOOOVE lucky charms. I try to eat "adult" cereal most of the time, but every now and then I let myself get a box of lucky charms. If DH is caught eating them he gets the silent treatment for the day.

[Blueberry]

Did you have to post the pumpkins?!

Must. Step. Away. Now.

Gosh, what did I do when I started this thread...I was just wondering peoples opinions. Yes, the pumpkins are great but, what about the HARVEST MIX that has the pumpkins, maple syrup jug, hay stack and I think a bat. Each is a different flavor. I am not a fan of the hay stack, but the maple syrup one is great..

And this talk of letting the Peeps get stale! I've never heard of that, and it sounds really gross. :p It's also gross that some of them DON'T get stale. :p I'm not sure if I want Peeps anymore or not now. :p
