the kids have been begging to have another peeps war. i keep peeps on hand in case inspiration strikes, and hadn’t gotten around to doing anything with them for a while, so we had several seasons worth of peeps.
so first they wanted a castle cake. made with soda. if that sounds wierd to you, you didn’t grow up in the 1950s, when 7Up cakes were popular. of course, they wanted to use dr. pepper, so i dug out a recipe for a root beer float cake, substituted dr. pepper for the root beer, made a few other changes, and after 45 minutes in the castle cake-pan, we had “santa’s castle.” then it needed to snow (powdered sugar) and mountains (cotton candy.)
then they busted out the chicks, rabbits, pumpkins, ghosts, stars, christmas trees, and snowmen. of course they needed weapons… twizzler cannons. that shoot m&m bombs. as they developed their story, it turns out that the OG peeps chicks were pretty pissed off about all the imposter peeps, and had a genocide planned. they infiltrated santa’s castle by sending their secret weapon, the genetically enhanced robo-chicks, inside of the giant trojan chocolate eggs. the robo-chicks easily took over the castle, allowing the legions of clone chicktroopers to march across the land and lay waste to all who opposed them.
there can be only one.
sucka.
the battle raged for a solid two hours before the scene got eaten. and, yeah, the cleanup was a little rough. but after a bath, MonkeyBeef’s face was no longer 8 shades of colors god didn’t make, and everyone slept pretty hard… though EvilGremlin looked like he was still plotting mayhem in his dreams.
