I did not mean to do this post so late this evening. I have had one of those days of scrambling about. Estate sales, lunch with my mom, post office, haircut and two trips to the local antique mall.
I decided I had to pick a name in true Easter fashion. I printed all the comments out and cut them up into strips. I added a second chance for my google followers.
I got out my stash of plastic Easter eggs and put one comment in each egg. I had alot of eggs to fill..thanks to everyone that entered!
And the winner is LISA W! No blog, just a long-time commenter and blogland friend! Her favorite candy was one that was no longer made - a Fannie Farmer dark chocolate butter-cream egg. I offered to hunt one down in estate sale land (since people save everything), but after all these years am sure the quality of that treat would be compromised. Peeps were her second choice.
I also found it interesting that so many people that loved Peeps mentioned that they let them get stale before eating them!
Congrats Lisa. I will drop you a note to get your address. Thanks to all who entered and to all my blogland friends.
Happy day!
p.s. estate sale Friday post coming soon..
One word .... YIPEEEEEEEEE !!! Thanks so much Laurie !!!!

Oh my gosh!! I totally agree with letting the Peeps harden before eating them! I thought that I was the only one with that odd twist!
Have you tried Peepsters? My daughter texted me and said that they would "change your candy world!" I have only tried the dark chocolate and I have to agree...amazing!!! Dark chocolate around a marshmallow center, so much better than it sounds!
