Peeps. My kids get them every year in their Easter basket. And usually, I find them under the bed or in the closet a few months later. I think it's been years since they've actually EATEN them.
And frankly, I buy them more for decoration than anything else.
However, apparently there are a lot of people who really like Peeps. And there are more and more products that are using Peeps.
And I'm starting to feel like there's a Peeps invasion. We're being taken over by an army of little marshmallows.
First our Easter baskets, then cereal, jelly beans, donuts and COFFEE....even pizza! They even have one that will sit on a shelf and watch you (sound familiar?)
There are several new Peeps' flavors available at participating stores nationwide:
Pancakes & Syrup Flavored Marshmallow Chicks
Cotton Candy Flavored Marshmallow Chicks
Orange Sherbet Flavored Marshmallow
Chicks Dipped in Crème Flavored Fudge
Root Beer Float Flavored Marshmallow Chicks (at Kroger)
Delights Vanilla Crème and Peeps Delights Chocolate Caramel Swirl Flavored Marshmallow Chicks (at Target)
Blue Raspberry Flavored Marshmallow Chicks (at Walmart)
Easter Version of "Elf on the Shelf"? "Peep on a Perch"
The Peep on a Perch is designed to promote good behavior by watching children do good things in the days leading up to Easter.
