Did you know…?

• Yellow is America’s best-selling color of PEEPS^® Chicks and Bunnies, followed by pink and then blue.
• Just Born produces enough PEEPS® Brand Marshmallow Candies in one year to circle the earth three times.
• Chicks rule! 4 out of every 5 PEEPS® purchased are Chicks – either flavored, dipped in chocolate, covered in chocolate or in the original un-flavored marshmallow form.

Just a few fun facts to start your day off sweetly.  You are going to want to get your PEEPS® early this year so you can try all the new flavors for 2015. There is also PEEPS® plush, apparel, and other Just Born candy brands at peepsandcompany.com, the one-stop-“hop” for all things sweet.

My son just loves Peeps.  My grandmother has always loved them as well, so I always buy a ton as soon as they hit shelves and get them both a wide variety of Marshmallow Chicks and Marshmallow Bunnies.  While Peeps are great for Easter baskets, they are also a fun reminder of spring in general, and my son, husband, and grandmother eat them pretty constantly until there are none left.

I love the new additions that they have this year, and honestly didn’t make anyone wait until Easter to try them all out.  There are new lemon and lime flavors, chocolate mousse dipped in chocolate chicks, dark chocolate- not to mention new candies.  There are PEEPS lollipops and Mike and Ike lollies as well.  Our favorite this year are the “Mystery Peeps”- they are white (neutral) in color, and you have to guess the flavor.  We have a thought, but won’t spoil it for you.

My husband likes to put Peeps in the microwave- they get HUGE before shrinking back down (melting, really).  He also likes to make Peeps S’mores, his favorite thing to do with PEEPS.  He loves the Mike and Ike Apple Corn Clusters as well- so much so that my son and I barely got to try it, haha.

To pick up some PEEPS and Easter candy for your basket this year, head to your local store or visit peepsandcompany.com .
