Peeps Minis

Peeps have jumped on the minis bandwagon! They are offering three new minis varieties, Sour Watermelon, Strawberry Crème, and Chocolate Crème, which will be available year-round. There are 24 mini Peeps per bag, which has a zip-top closure. Finally, a way to reseal a package of Peeps to prevent them from drying out! 

The mini Peeps are obviously smaller than regular Peeps. They are also very flat. 

Peeps Minis Sour Watermelon

The mini Sour Watermelon Peeps taste exactly like the full-size Sour Watermelon Peeps. 

Peeps Minis Strawberry Crème

Strawberry Crème Peeps were available exclusively at Target for the 2014 Easter season. In comparison, the Strawberry Crème Peeps Minis have a stronger strawberry flavor and are significantly more vibrant than its larger counterpart. These are my favorite of the three Peeps Minis varieties. 

Peeps Minis Chocolate Crème

The Chocolate Crème Peeps Minis are similar to the Chocolate Mousse Peeps I recently reviewed, but without the chocolate layer on the bottom. The Chocolate Crème Peeps Minis have a strong aroma similar to hot cocoa. Unfortunately, the chocolate flavor is much more subdued compared to the aroma.

Chocolate Mousse Peeps Dipped in Milk Chocolate

Place purchased: Meijer 

Number of reviewers: 3

Appearance - 8.3 

The Chocolate Mousse Peeps Dipped in Milk Chocolate have a light brown, chocolate flavored marshmallow with a slightly darker brown sugar exterior. There is a sizable layer of milk chocolate coating the bottom of the Peeps. 

Flavor and Taste - 7.7 

The flavor of the milk chocolate layer dominates over the flavor of the chocolate marshmallow. When eating the marshmallow alone, the chocolate flavor is not apparent until the aftertaste. 

L: It tastes cheap, but in a fun way.

S: I love the chocolate covered bottom! Delicious. 

Texture - 7.3 

There is a good contrast between the solid chocolate layer, soft marshmallow, and crunchy sugar. 

L: I like the contrast of the marshmallow and chocolate. 

S: Soft.

Aftertaste - 8.0 

The Peeps have a milk chocolate aftertaste. 

Overall - 7.7

Overall, the milk chocolate coating greatly enhanced the flavor and texture of these Chocolate Mousse Peeps.
