peeps

Ever wonder how those sweet, gooey little peeps were made, well The Chicago Tribune decided to take a behind the scenes look into the Just Born Peep Factory in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
 Here is just a few slides of their tour.

Marshmallow sits heated in a pot before it is run through the pressing machine.

Yellow dye is sprayed onto the sugar that will be placed on the Marshmallow Peeps.
