Easter Peeps

Whether you are searching for a unique Easter gift, or you are searching for a special treat to take to a party, you may want to consider Peeps gummies. These sweet treats are shaped like peeps, and come in a variety of flavors.

Making Them by Hand

During the Easter season, Peeps become available in a variety of colors. They come in pink, yellow, gingerbread, and chocolate pudding. You can also buy Peeps Gummies. Peeps Gummies are shaped like the traditional Peeps, but they’re gummies.

The first Peeps were made in 1953. Sam Born, a Russian immigrant, started a candy company called Just Born in New York. His son Bob invented the Depositor, a machine that could produce six rows of five Peeps each. The Depositor could also produce the Peeps faster than by hand.

After the Peeps were released, the company’s executives realized that making the candy by hand was labor-intensive and took a long time. It took 27 hours to make just one Peep.

In 1960, Just Born acquired another company and automated the process. Now, the Peeps are made in six minutes. They are produced at a factory in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. This factory produces enough Peeps to circle the Earth twice a year.

Choosing Between Fresh And Stale

Choosing between fresh and stale Peeps gummies can be a tricky decision. Although they are similar in many ways, there are differences. A fresh Peep is softer inside, has a chewier texture, and is more fun to eat. A stale Peep is harder and has a crispy exterior.

For years, Peeps have been a staple Easter candy. While they are not chocolate, they have a chewy texture and a soft, colorful exterior. They are also available in different flavors.

They are made of marshmallows covered with colored sugar. These marshmallows are created by a process of inoculation with 12 different types of fungi. When heated, they expand and puff up. A fresh Peep will expand more quickly and puff up more easily than a stale Peep.

The same holds true when it comes to their color. The FDA has approved certain food dyes to keep these treats fresh. However, studies have linked these dyes to allergies and hyperactivity in children.

Flavors Available

Besides the obvious marshmallows, Peeps also make gummy versions of their marshmallows, as well as marshmallow cereal. While the marshmallows themselves have been around for decades, the cereals have been getting a new lease on life in recent months. These confections are made by Just Born Quality Confections in Bethlehem, Pa. Some of them are infused with a variety of flavors, including Kellogg’s Froot Loops and marshmallow-flavored vanilla pudding. Depending on where you shop, they will run you anywhere from $1.69 to $2.49.

Peeps aren’t just for the kids; their marshmallow cereals are a hit with adults as well. The gummy variants are available in two designs, both of which feature the requisite marshmallow flavor. The first is a classic marshmallow chick with four marshmallow chicks per stick, the other is a marshmallow-flavored version of the cereal. Peeps’ marshmallow cereals can be purchased at grocery stores nationwide. These are great for kids who enjoy chewing on sweet treats.

New Products Coming Out This Year

Whether you’ve tried Peeps or not, you’ll be happy to know that the marshmallow chicks and bunnies are back in the store for Easter. These treats are a favorite Easter tradition, and have been since the early 1950s. This year, Peeps has some new products that you may want to try.

Peeps will be available in a number of new flavors, including a Marshmallow Cola made by Pepsi. Peeps will also be partnering with International Delight to offer flavored creamer singles in the dairy aisle. Some of these products are exclusive to certain retailers.

One new product Peeps has added is the Peeps Gummies. These marshmallow gummies are available in three flavors. The Chick and Bunny shaped gummies are covered in sugar and have edible eyes. They come in a Kraft Mac and Cheese box, which gives them a fun play on the comfort brand.

Peeps will also be launching a new marshmallow treat in the form of lattes at 7-Eleven. This April Fool’s joke will be available at some locations.
