No, really. Please.

I thought it was pretty interesting that Williams-Sonoma had a brandless "Marshmallow Chicks Kit," that they sell online only with a soft, pastel, nice and classy photo of a girl making her chicks - very Williams-Sonoma-esque. But here's another Peeps kit in a loud, colorful box that actually screams "Peeps!" with a coupon for $1.00 off your next purchase of real Peeps (in case you just can't figure out how to make them with the kit?), and the option to purchase extra molds and colored sugar for different holidays.

It's $26.

Neato! Has anybody here used one? It looks like a mold rather than an extruder, but I'd bet you could use it with cheese, like this Pikachu-en-brie:

That would be awesome. Because if Peeps were made of cheese, I'd be as obsessed with them as everyone else seems to be.

Why is this listed under vegan? Vegan, most marshmallows are not!

Peeps are not vegetarian either if they contain gelatin.
