Microwave a Peep

This article shows you how to microwave a Peep.

Steps

Buy Peeps. They are usually found in the candy aisle of a supermarket or drugstore, particularly during Easter and other holiday seasons (Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day etc.).
Put the Peeps on a plate.
- Make sure that you use a large enough plate. The peeps will expand to the size of a softball when microwaved.
Open the microwave door.
Put the plate in the microwave.
Close the door.
Set the timer from 30 to 60 seconds. Note that the Peeps will deflate after removing.
Start the microwave.
Watch the Peeps.
Stop the microwave and open the door.
Take them out.
- Get some graham crackers and some Easter chocolate for a colorful Easter S’more.

Something fun to do is to stick a toothpick in each Peep, then put the Peeps close to each other so that the toothpicks barely touch. Put them in the microwave, then watch the “battle”.
The Peeps will taste like cotton candy.
Despite rumors to the contrary, exploding Peeps in the microwave does not occur as quickly as it would appear. If you truly want a sticky, gooey mess and the explosion, then do not take them out of the original box and leave on the plastic wrap. Set the time on the microwave for about five minutes.

Do not handle the microwaved Peeps with your bare hands until they have cooled, or you could burn your hands.
If you leave them in the microwave too long, they will taste burnt.
If you leave them in the microwave too long, they may “pop” and make a mess.
The resulting Peep will be really sticky.
