Best to eat your Peeps Porridge hot and quickly before the water balloon fights start. Peeps get bored so quickly!
If you have nine days to spare waiting around for pea soup to sit in a pot, then go for it. If however you’re up for a more timely repast, Peeps® Porridge Hot is for you. Porridge is a mushy dish made of boiled meal — for example — funnily enough — oatmeal. You can also use Quinoa or wheat or any other grain you may fancy. There are many forms of porridge, savory and sweet, from all over the world. The Chinese have a version of peas porridge and of course there is the famous British version with the typical weird spelling that has too many vowel (“pease” — I mean really…) that was turned into a nursery rhyme.
The peeps weren’t into the pea thing, because they’d already participated in a bean soup and felt that they had hot legumes covered — so they chose oats for our porridge. It can be made with boiling water or milk. It’s so yummy even Oliver Twist asked for more — oh, wait that was gruel, but that’s just watery porridge so we’re good. A little known fact is that it was actually hot cereal that gave Oliver the gumption to turn his back on a life of crime and move in with Mr. Brownlow who made a mean pot o’ porridge.
As you may recall the peeps were very interested in having more breakfast dishes represented in their blog, so we created Peeps Porridge Hot. It’s an excellent pre-ski dish in that it is as yummy as it is warming. It’ll give you your daily allowance of fiber and the week’s allowance of sugar. The peeps love swimming around in the hot, grainy cereal leaving a trail of marshmallowy goodness wherever they go. It’s a win-win situation where they get a warm bottom and you get sweetness to start your day.
