My craving has already begun. It's not even St. Patrick's Day yet, and here I sit craving some Marshmallow Peeps. Love them or hate them, Marshmallow Peeps have been appearing in Easter baskets across the country since 1953, when candy maker Sam Born, owner of Just Born, Inc., purchased the Rodda Candy Company. They were best known for their jelly beans, but also produced a small line of marshmallow products, including the Easter Peep. They were hand made at the time, and Born, with the help of his son Bob, developed machinery to make the Peeps, and the rest is history! They are now available in different shapes, forms, flavors, and colors for various holidays, but is still the original, yellow Peep that I crave today. Good thing for me Easter candy has been on sale since Valentine's Day :-)Sunday, March 16, 2014
