Peeps Lollipop Rings
They come in two flavors, actually. The first, in the traditional yellow is simply Marshmallow flavor. The second, in the bismuth pink is the new-millennium-classic flavor, Strawberry Cream.
The tart taste was not sour, more like yogurt. Just a tangy bite, kind of milky. It’s a smooth taste, the pop is good quality with no voids at all. It’s easy to crunch too, if you can manage to get your teeth around a good corner. The ingredients fully explain the taste here: sugar, corn syrup, water, lactic acid, citric acid, sodium citrate, artificial flavors, corn starch, acacia gum, titanium dioxide, artificial colors. (Made in China) If you took out the corn starch and put in some gelatin you’d have a Gummi Peep (mmm, Gummi Peeps).
The flavor is rather yogurt-like. A creamy flavor, not very intense and sweetly fragrant of fake berries. It reminded me of Frankenberry Cereal. The pops are super cute and very well made. They had a consistent appearance and the ring platforms were of good quality (not some sort of easy to shatter plastic that rips up your mouth). They even fit on my ring finger. Note: though these candies are branded with the official Peep (tm) logo, they are not made by Just Born, instead they are manufactured by Flix Candy under a licensing agreement. (Just like you don’t expect that Just Born sewed those little Peep plushies, right?) They also make a Peeps Pop Slider which is kind of like those lipstick candies.

Commenting is not available in this channel entry.I love these! Can’t wait to go find some.
Hmm. Sound interesting.
I’m tempted…but no. I already ate my “weird” easter candy by caving and getting those Brach’s “Chicks and Rabbits”.
A truly marshmallow lollipop would be so cool!
If only cuteness were a criteria in my candy purchases…this would be at the top of my list. I am less enthused about yogurt-flavored lollipops.
Lactic acid? Isn’t that the stuff that builds up in your muscles during exercise and causes you to feel sore?
Aw,those things are adorable. I always look at this blog to see what to get for my movie night.
When it’s Easter, just you and your peeps, Cybele!:)
