People go nuts over Peeps this week — ’tis peep season, after all.

But if you really want to go wild, Shauna Seaver’s book Marshmallow Madness! is your ticket to sugar heaven. Seaver spoke with Here & Now’s Robin Young about making marshmallows at home and the sticky, sugary-sweet varieties (oreos? Liqueurs, anyone?) you’ll find in her book. Here & Now invited its own tasters to the studio to see how the homemade varieties compared to store-bought. The average age of the tasters is 9.5 years old, but they sound like pros. Listen to the story.

If you want to stick with a basic peeps recipe but get a little fancy on the outside, Boston blogger and sweets diva Buttercream Blondie has posted Glamour Peeps 2.0 —  her own recipe and tips for making peeps at home, complete with DISCO DUST!!

As Seaver warns, ‘This is candy we’re making. Not breakfast.’
