OK, I couldn't let another year go by without posting something about Peeps.
OK, this is going to require a little explanation (I saw this at Boing Boing)...
You know what a Turducken is? This comes up each year around Thanksgiving. It's de-boned turkey stuffed with a de-boned duck, which itself is stuffed with a small de-boned chicken. (Check out the Wikipedia entry)
OK, now take that concept and "Easter-fy" it with candy, and you come up with an Easter Turducken...
... you start with a miniature Cadbury cream egg.
Take an peep and cut a deep, large slit in the bottom (Caution: don't cut it all the way through!)
The cut is a pocket that you shove the miniature Cadbury cream egg into (use any extra, um "flesh" to fold around the egg). You should make a couple of these, based on the final "layer"...
...One of those hollow chocolate Easter bunnies. You have to cut-off the bottom to gain access to the empty insides of the bunny. Apparently, a dremel tool works well. Don't destroy the cut piece! You'll need it to seal-off the Easter Turducken.
Once you gain access to the hollow space, shove the Peeps into it and replace the bottom.
The key - if you can do it - is to melt the bottom seam closed with a crème brûlée torch.
EASTER TURDUCKEN!!!!
Oh...
I HAVE to share with you something that's in the comments of that original post... it's a great idea for those hollow chocolate bunnies...
The Comment by VorFemme says:
If your Easter leaves you with the need to be anesthetized - take one hollow chocolate bunny (a good one - no leaky holes - you’ll be drinking from it) and bite its ears off (hey, it wasn’t a good day - get even). Now - mix Kahlua ™, milk, and Coco-Cola ™ to a pleasing taste. Pour this into the bunny. Add a straw. Paper umbrellas are optional. Sip slowly while contemplating your day. Does it still seem so bad? When empty - eat bunny…..day should seem a little brighter now.
This has been named the “Bunny Foo-Foo” - don’t knock any field mice over the head. Don’t drive either. A blue fairy might turn you into a goon. Or at least put you in the drunk tank with some goons. Stay home. Have another Peep ™ or two.
