Frosted Strawberry Pop-Tarts Peeps

Sure, why not make some [[Pop Tarts] Peeps]!? They're nut free, in any case. And they're little cuties. Unfortunately the ones I got from some guy on the internet are apparently from 1902, or else they all just are weirdly firm and not at all the normal peep texture. Rubbery. The taste is also artificial, strawberry, plastic, soap, all in one. At the same time, I went through the 5-pack in a matter of minutes, so it's hard to say how I really feel. I wouldn't buy them again, though, that's for sure. But they are little cuties, I stand by that. Kind of wug-ish even. 

Overall
Cost: 4/10 [I don't remember, but it was too much]
Taste: 6/10?

Sunny D Peeps

Easter candy is surely the best and worst thing about Easter. There is so much candy about it. Peeps are nut free and cute. And since they're just sugar, they can't make my internal agonies worse (we hope). These do taste like sunny D (bad sweetened orange "drink"), but they aren't sunny D, they are candy. So they are better than Sunny D. Also very cute. But a serving is 4 and they come in sleeves of 5. Peeps got a (Sunny) D in math I guess. I got a fresh batch so they're pretty decent, all told.

Dr. Pepper Peeps

Often I ask myself: What if instead of being bad, I didn't be? I wonder if these Dr Peepsers ever do the same. I like a peep now and again (when on Easter sale, pretty much), and I like a Dr Pepper compared to other sodas, and yet this is very much the minus of its parts. (Happens a lot with these gimmicky food combos, I feel). They are regular peep innards with a Doctor Pep flavored sugar coating. And indeed it's accurate, but they don't go together. This serves no one. Also the eyes were badly applied so they were like little 4-eyed alien peeps, which would be cute if they were delicious, but they aren't so it wasn't (the lament of every uggo, self very much included)!

Peeps Delights S’mores Graham Cracker Flavored Marshmallow Chicks

Peeps are so gosh darn cute!! In general they are delights. This flavoring (graham) doesn't do much for me, though. I kinda wish they were just regular peeps. I love their little shape, and the choco bottom is nice, and the marshmallow inside is fun, but the (subtle) s'more flavor here is mostly "a weird smell". It's very light so it's not too bad, the taste is decent, but it's not adding anything regular peeps don't have (except the choco bottom).

Dean's Sweets - Chocolate-Dipped Peeps

I can't resist a good peep! These are adorable and the chocolate elevates them beyond their pedestrian peep origin. :) 

Milk-Choco Chick: Really tasty, basically like a marshmallow egg (which I adore). The chocolate is good as always, and the peep too. 8/10

Dark-Choco Chick: The peep is the highlight of this one for me - the dark choco is just a little too thick or overpowering. Still good though! 6.5/10

Peeps

Peeps are a classic nut-free candy! I recently had one on a Peeps Donut and I thought "I like peeps". But after eating 10 of them, I'm not so sure if I really LIKE like peeps. Or maybe the donut version was somehow superior. I do like their soft, pliable texture, and they're obviously adorable, but the marshmallow isn't that nice creamy thick type (like a good marshmallow egg), it's more gritty and thin. So, it's not amazing, but it's still a safe candy.
