Peeps® it's what's for Brunch

My wife and I are often asked why we have not posted a single breakfast recipe. There is one simple reason. Lucky Charms™ are the Peeps® of the morning. And as much as I love those cute marshmallow chicks, the savory sweetness of Peeps® is really better reserved for Lunch or Supper. We love our Lucky Charms™ and feel they make excellent ingredients in Frittata, Breakfast Quiche and of course as a holiday filling in my lovely wife’s Beef’n Charms Sausage.

Our one “Brunch” suggestion how ever is:

Papa B’s Peeps® and Yogurt energy drink.
This is a real pick me up. I find that Brunch is best appreciated after a hang over. Why else would you wait until 10 or 11 in the morning to eat breakfast? This energy drink relies on lots and lots of honey. We have slowly removed all but about 1 tsp of milk from this drink. If you don’t have Yogurt you can substitute crème cheese. One of the best features of this recipe is it is gluten free!

1½ cups of honey (I like a full clover honey because of the pH)
½ an Orange peeled
Zest of the other half Orange
15 gms of Red Hots
Peeps® (yellow)
2 Cremesicles® split length-wise then brought to room tempature

Remember to clean the Blender between uses, and this means turning it off before you put your hand in the bottom. We love our trusty Blenderizer with it’s 3 hp engine, but most sturdy table top models will produce a silky consistency. Place the orange half in the bottom of the blender along with the red hots and Peeps®. Remember it is always 12 Peeps® to a gallon so count your guests and adjust accordingly. The other ingredients seem to stretch very well. Once the mash is the consistency of pancake batter, turn the blender up about 3 clicks until bubbles are seen on the top of the slurry. It is important to pour the honey and Cremesicles® in quickly, as you slow the blender. Serve in Martini glasses and dust with the orange zest. Grain alcohol can be added to further release the tannins in this "energy drink."
