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.
