Best Answer

Peeps are made out of marshmallows because that is a inexpensive, sugar filled, tasty substance that can be molded or crafted in most any way possible.

Another answer: Because the original peeps (made of real baby chicks) were too difficult to eat with all the bones left inside, and they tended to lose their shape once their skeletons were removed. When the question was brought up as to what the Peeps manufacturers should use to refill the chick's carcasses with so as to maintain their original shape when the bones were removed, it was a tossup between marshmallows and caulk. After many meetings and much heated debate, they chose marshmallows and the rest is history. But all this history's making me hungry. Have a Peep? AAAAAAAAAGGGhhhhhhh... I'll take that as a "no."
