Peeps

Peeps are a type of marshmallow confectionery produced by Just Born, a division of the J.M. Smucker Company. They are small, round, and come in a variety of colors and flavors. The marshmallows are made from a mixture of sugar, corn syrup, gelatin, and water, and are coated in a thin layer of sugar. Peeps are typically used as a decorative element in Easter celebrations, but they are also enjoyed as a sweet treat on their own. The name "Peeps" is derived from the sound a marshmallow makes when it is popped in the mouth. The confectionery was first introduced in 1952 and has since become a popular and iconic symbol of the Easter holiday. Peeps are available in various shapes and sizes, including the classic round shape, as well as hearts, stars, and other designs. They are often used to create Easter-themed decorations, such as nests and bunnies, and are also used in baking and cooking. Peeps are a versatile and delicious treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
