Once just an Eastertime favorite, in recent years Peeps, the chick-shaped marshmallow candies, have become a part of popular culture. More and more they're showing up in works of art. The latest artful addition is a two-story Christmas tree at the National Harbor near DC.
Here's an excerpt:
"Standing almost two stories high, the tree is decorated mostly with undulating waves of green Peeps in the shape of Christmas trees -- it's a tree made out of trees. Some chicks and bunnies are grouped to create a few well-placed ornaments on the tree, and the yellow star on top is created entirely from Peep chicks. And this is the cutest part: Presents underneath the tree are wrapped in ribbons made of marshmallow chicks and bunnies."
