Bethlehem, Pennsylvania-based Peeps is expanding its lineup of marshmallow treats with new flavors and forms for the Easter season.
“The Peeps Brand has been a part of fans’ Easter and spring celebrations for nearly seven decades. Many parents and grandparents who received Peeps in their Easter baskets are now passing on that tradition to their families,” said Caitlin Servian, brand manager for Peeps.
“In 2022, we’re kicking off the spring season earlier than ever to provide fans with the perfect mix of classic chicks and bunnies, along with trending new flavors. There is something for family traditions throughout the season.”
The new Easter line of coffee-flavored Peeps, through the company’s partnership with The Original Donut Shop coffee, will offer two new varieties: Peeps Coffee Flavored Marshmallow Chicks and Peeps Filled Delights Coffee Caramel Mocha Flavored Marshmallow Chicks.
This is the first time that the Filled Delights flavor will be available nationwide. In addition, the brand has given the bunnies a makeover through the launch of a unicorn-inspired Sparkly Wild Berry Flavored Marshmallow Bunnies.
