Following Easter Sunday, your household may be among millions across the globe with an abundance of marshmallow Peeps. In fact, Peeps have been the best selling non-chocolate Easter candy for the past 10 years. With this in mind, we could provide you with a list of recipes featuring this sickeningly sweet marshmallow treat… but we have a better idea. Rather than subjecting your bodies to copious amounts of sugar, we suggest you use them for a more entertaining purpose. Peep Jousting! The only supplies you need are toothpicks, Peeps and a microwave. To create a jouster, simply insert a toothpick (parallel to the ground) inside a marshmallow Peep.

Watch as they battle it out, the first to stab its opponent wins. more ›
