Peeps are a classic sugary treat in Easter baskets every year. These chick or rabbit shaped marshmallows have tons of different exotic flavors and colors, and it can be hard to pick which ones are the best to put in your friends and families baskets; here are the 5 best flavors of Peeps.
- Dr Pepper Peeps
Dr Pepper flavored Peeps may sound and look gross at first sight. However, these Peeps capture the essence and taste of Dr Pepper while still maintaining the familiar marshmallow taste. They have just the right amount of Dr Pepper flavoring without being too overbearing and would be a great asset into a soda lover’s easter basket. I’m personally not the biggest soda fan, but I know lots of people would like these peeps.
- Cotton Candy Peeps
These pastel colored peeps have an unusual but delicious taste that accurately represents cotton candy and reminded me of a carnival or fair with its nostalgic taste. These sweet and airy peeps are a perfect whimsy touch to add to your easter festivities.
- Classic Peeps
You just can’t go wrong with classic Peeps. The sugary coat on top of the pillowy inside is a perfect, simple dessert for anyone. However, they are a little bit bland and get old after a while but are always a staple Easter treat.
- Peeps Delight
Peeps Delight is an upgrade on classic peeps. The rich chocolate coating on the bottom complements the classic marshmallow taste by adding a satisfying twist onto plain peeps. Peeps Delight also has different variations including caramel, graham cracker crumbs, or crushed cookies to add to the taste, but I only tried the chocolate ones.
- Wild Berry Peeps
These peeps burst with fruity flavor in every bite. They are sweet and tangy at the same time and are perfect for a springtime fruity treat. They are covered in bright colors and also add a festive touch to Easter baskets and displays.
