Peeps, the sugar-coated marshmallow treats, have become a staple of the Easter season, loved by some and despised by others.

Since then, Peeps have gained immense popularity, offering a variety of flavors and combinations that have taken over the candy aisle. From classic flavors to more unique ones, Peeps have become a must-have treat for many during the holiday season.
