So when it comes to Peeps, how stale is the right amount of stale? How do varying degrees of staleness affect the Peeps’ texture and flavor? Some people make their Peeps stale by cutting small holes in the plastic wrapping, but I took out each sleeve of marshmallow and fully exposed them to air. They’re only slightly softer than the six-day Peeps — not on the exterior, but in the middle. “I never appreciated how soft Peeps are until now,” one taster said, marveling at the cloudlike texture of the new Peeps.
