Giveaway: PEEPS Fun at Great Wolf Lodge for Easter

Great Wolf Lodge Characters 2

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who eat PEEPS fresh from the package and a second group who believe stale PEEPS taste best. Why do they think stale PEEPS taste better? I don’t have any idea. But I do know that those who like stale PEEPS are fervent in their belief that the sugary marshmallow treats need to age a few days before being consumed.

PEEPS come in a variety of shapes and colors and are available most of the year, but I still think of those yellow marshmallow chicks as being the best part of an Easter basket. As a kid, it was hard to decide on the best way to eat a PEEP. Do you lick off all the sugar first? Do you bite off its poor little head? Do you just stuff the whole package of PEEPS into your mouth at once? I can tell you from experience that last option should be a no. 

If you are a fan of PEEPS, you should head over to Great Wolf Lodge for their very first V.I.PEEP program. From April 1-21, guests of Great Wolf Lodge will receive a V.I.PEEP card, can take part in a PEEPS Plush Scavenger Hunt, and can create a PEEPS-themed craft. If you complete the scavenger hunt and PEEPS craft, you will be entered to win a giant PEEPS plush.

    I love peeps when they’re old. And we live great wolf lodge. Just got back from their pocono location yesterday!

  6. Dave S. says

    Stale! I have some I’ve been aging for 2 years now. I think they’re almost ready.

  10. Aly Morell says

    I love eating them fresh from the package. I’m so happy that they’re not just around for Easter anymore. :)

  11. Laura Hawkins says

    I just tried the chocolate dipped peppermint Peeps over the holidays. They were wonderful! A new tradition is born.

  13. Sandy Habina says

    I can’t wait to have a Peeps donut from the Dunkin’ Donuts inside the Williamsburg lodge!

  15. Mike Lunsford says

    I love using peeps instead of marshmallows for rice krispie treats. It makes the treats sparkly!

  16. Kim L. says

    My parents always swore that stale Peeps were the best. They had a science. The plastic on the Peeps had to be split open (but not removed) and the Peeps had to sit on the windowsill in the kitchen for two days before they were declared ready to eat. Two days was too long when I was a kid and perhaps, as a result, I prefer my Peeps fresh from the package. :)

    We roast our peeps over a summer campfire! the sugar gets scalding hot, so be careful ;0)

  22. melissa e says

    I will never forget the look on my daughters face the 1st time we microwaved a Peep. Priceless!

  23. Laura S. says

    I love Peeps right out of the package. I’ll have to try freezing them. That sounds interesting.

  25. Sandy Habina says

    I’ve always liked yellow Peeps best. I know they don’t actually taste any different, but for some reason I prefer them!!

  27. Sandy Habina says

    I have never heard of eating stale Peeps before reading this post! I like mine fresh!

  37. Mike Lunsford says

    Now I’m thinking peeps would be a great addition to hot chocolate! A little more fun than regular marshmallows.

  38. Sandy Habina says

    I really liked the addition of Peeps to last year’s Gingerbread House at GWL! Glad they can be found for pretty much every holiday now!

  57. Sandy Habina says

    I found another way to enjoy Peeps…. a Marshmallow Peeps scented candle!! It smells awesome!

  64. Sandy Habina says

    So glad it’s almost Easter!! Can’t wait to see how many fresh Peeps I can eat!!

  71. Sandy Habina says

    I’m enjoying eating my Peeps while putting together the kids’ Easter baskets for tomorrow… hopefully there will be some left!!!
