Where to get marshmallow peeps in February?

Asked by ChocolateReigns (5624points) January 19th, 2010

I suppose you want to know why I’ll be looking for peeps next month. The newspaper that we get has a contest every year (around Easter, of course) for dioramas using peeps as people. I’m having a sleepover with a few of my friends, and I thought we could put together an entry and take a picture of it and send it in. They’re gonna be taking entries in February, anyway. So that’s the story. The one problem: where would we get the peeps so early?

If you’re looking for the Chicks or Bunnies, check your grocery stores.. it might be too early.
Our stores carry heart Peeps around this time.

They should be in the stores by February. As soon as Valentines day is over or even before, they will stock the shelves with the Easter candy.
Walmart, Kmart, Target etc.

I have to follow @lucillelucillelucille on that one. :-)

You could try rooting around your local landfill, since it’s apparently nearly impossible to dissolve them. Dig ‘em up, give ‘em a bath, and you’re in business!

Finally a question about Marshmallow Peeps and I’m late to the game. dang

You can order them as Trillian said. That’s what I do to keep my collection up to date.

You can also contact Peeps & Co (first retail store!) in MD at (301) 749–5791.

Good luck with your diorama- they’re incredibly fun!

I don’t want to eat them, @lucillelucillelucille. I just want to make a funny picture with them as people. But I have a feeling a few of them will be missing by the end of the project. Btw, I need them by February 5th.
