NORTH ANDOVER, MA — In recent years, people have gotten creative with the use of Peeps, the popular marshmallow Easter candy.

There is now Peeps-flavored Pepsi, Peeps and Mike & Ike flavored pops, and the Peeps themselves now come in flavors like Dr. Pepper, Kettle Corn, Hot Tamales and Cotton Candy.

At North Andover's Stevens Memorial Library, they have come up with another use for Peeps: the Peep-o-Rama diorama contest.
