These pudgy marshmallow chicks and bunnies have certainly racked up quite a following over the 50 years of their existence, so we can't say we're terribly surprised to hear they're getting their own shop in National Harbor in Prince George's County.
According to the Washington Post, the store -- owned by the preciously named company Just Born -- will be packed with Peeperphernalia including Peeps dressed as Village People, Peep pens, key chains and even fancy china.
And what of the "& Co" in the shop's name? Ah, yes. For those who are not happily drowning in a sea of Peeps, available wares will also include Hot Tamales and Mike and Ike's, two other brands owned by Just Born. Of course the puffy critters will be the star of this show.
Peruse our homemade faux-Peep recipe.

My favorite way to eat them...some I eat as soon as I get them. However, many times I will get two or three extra 'trays' of them....open one corner and let them firm up. They are really tasty that way! (My family even knows I do this...and they just shake their heads). My sister always asks me...how many are you going to eat now and how many will you save for later!

I am not a fan, but as my grandfather always told me..."if we all liked the same thing, we would be chasing after your grandmother". I wonder what the shop will do with their peeps past their shelf date??? May I suggest donation to a super fan in California??? They will not go to waste. I promise.

Nothing is better than a peep coming off the assembly line still warm, sooooooo yummy. It was a fun place to work at. The Teenie Beanies were yummy too fresh. Ahhhhhhhhh the sweet memories, in the one department we had chocolate enrober, well, we would bring in our own things and put them on the line, they came out the other end chocolate covered, talk about good!!
