Neapolitan Peeps - Target $1.66
The Peeps floodgates have opened! We have a ton of "new" Peep flavors hitting the shelves. Why did I put "new" in quotes? Well...most of them aren't really new.
This season, we've got...
- Kroger gets Pancakes & Syrup (One of last year's Mystery Flavors, unmasked & re-released)
- All Grocery Stores are getting Sour Cherry (Another Mystery Flavor, unmasked & re-released)
- Cotton Candy Peeps (re-release, I saw them at Target, unsure if they're exclusive)
- Lemon and Orange Sherbet Peeps (Very similar to previous orange & lemon Delights)
- Walmart has the NEW trio of Mystery Peep Flavors - Actually New
- Target has filled Neapolitan and Triple Chocolate Delights - Also New
In that sea of marshmallow chick-shaped sweets, there's a lot of old ideas being rehashed. In all honesty, I've always liked original Peeps (Especiaolly when they start to get a little stale), but a of of the fancier flavors they've released over the years just don't appeal to me. Especially the Delights line. That "fudge" dripped bottom is a waxy coating of lies. In what way is that fudge?
Even though I am no fan of the "fudge dipped" delights, I couldn't pass up a filled peep, especially one with a Neapolitan flavor profile. All the new flavors we have seen over the years are great, but the combination of vanilla, chocolate and strawberry is timeless. If it's done right...
So, let's see if these are a real Delight, or a fake-fudge-failure.
