Could someone please tell me - what are "Peeps"?? Not something we have in New Zealand.
Thank you 
Peeps are a IMO nasty little marshmallow, shaped like a little duck and covered with sugar. Way too much sugar for my tastes.
Some people LOVE them...

Originally they were only out at Easter in bunny and chick shapes. Now they have them for nearly every holiday. I don't particularly like them, I like marshmallows, but the sugar coating on them does something to the taste of the marshmallow (I think).
Thank you all. CWR41 love the pictures - especially the peeps on the plane wings.

Great news. 
There are now chocolate covered Peeps:

HTH
Marshmallow Peeps taste best when you buy them, poke a hole in the cellophane, then wait a few days before you eat them. They get hard and chewy. Delicious.
As much as I love Peeps, I think the new "Peepsters" are awful. They are chocolate covered marshmallow lumps, but the chocolate is probably the nastiest I've ever tasted. They could have done much better with the new product.
OP, if you search on Cake Central for "Marshmallow Peeps", you will see many different types of Peeps on cakes.

That's exactly the method of preparation I used. 
Makes you wonder how many people actually eat them fresh/soft....
(Can't eat them now, too sweet!) 
Last year my daughter and her friends dipped peeps in chocolate. After Easter, she liked making s'mores with them.
