Sugar Free Peeps

[jmc_bks]

I saw sugar free Peeps at the grocery store last weekend. They stopped me cold. How do you make sugar free Peeps? I thought marshmallow was just processed sugar, more or less.

On the other side of the Peeps display nestled a variety of Mary Sue easter treats, including vanilla butter cream eggs and pecan caramel logs. Mmmm. I don't jones for Mary Sue candy during the year, but when it starts appearing at the grocery store, I have a hard time resisting. In fact, I have to just avoid that aisle of the store in order to leave without purchasing vast quantities.

On the reading side of things, I don't have much to say.

• I started Demon Night but couldn't get into it, kept getting interrupted. I've set it to the side and will pick it up when I'm feeling better about reading.

• Found a copy of Elizabeth Elliot's The Scoundrel. Everyone seems to love her historicals, but it didn't work for me. Wallbanger because the hero was an @ss, the heroine was a Mary Sue (not the good kind mentioned above, either), the plot was riddled with cliches.

• Read and liked Drew Zachary's The Painted House, which was sweet, if a little bland in terms of plot/conflict.

• The Ties That Bind anthology had one story I liked (friends to lovers) but was otherwise forgettable.

How DO they do it?

Not to mention that Peeps are coated in colored sugar!

Colored Splenda? But I think Splenda cooks differently, so would it work for the marshmallow body?
