Hatching a Peep from a chocolate egg

peeps in chocolate eggs More Peeps madness, y'all. Last year, the company that makes Peeps debuted a chocolate egg with a marshmallow peep hiding inside. This year, they have the same sort of thing, but the chocolate egg part is made with crispy rice -- like a Nestle Crunch-wrapped Peep. Could it get any better?!?! Yeah, I thought so.

Of course, this just opened the door for more Peeps creativity. The SF Chronicle has suggested you crack open the chocolate egg to create two separate halves, put the pieces back together, stick it in the microwave, and watch the marshmallow Peep inside expand and hatch out of the chocolate egg. I guess it's kind of a molten chocolate marshmallow brulee.
