Christmas Flavors Peeps Review

This might sound like a weird review. I mean who would go out and wake up and say, "Hmm, today I'm going to go out and make a review on Peeps."

It all started when we were going through Target to buy some stuff. We went through a Christmas sweets aisle and I saw a Sugar Cookie flavored Peeps package and then I showed my dad. He looked at it and then put it back on the shelf. Then I asked him if we could get it. I barely convinced him to let me get one of the packs. And then before I convinced him, there were three other packs I saw: Red Velvet, Hot Cocoa and Candy Cane dipped in mint chocolate. So we were deciding to get the Candy Cane one, and then he said, "You can get more kinds if you want to do a review." So I agreed and we got all four of the Peeps.

I was going to do the review on Saturday but we ran out of time. So I did it during the Ravens vs. Chargers football game on Sunday.




The first kind of Peeps we tried was Red Velvet, which we thought would taste the worst. But we were wrong. The Red Velvet looked cool cause of the red sugar on it. And on the inside it had a chocolate flavored marshmallow. Before we started eating the Peeps, my dad made me some coffee so it wouldn't be too sweet.

After I ate the first one I thought I could take three more. I was wrong, of course. I barely ate the last kind. The part that made it so sweet was the bottom coating -- either chocolate or vanilla. So the Red Velvet was our favorite at the moment.




Then we tried the Sugar Cookie flavor. At first, all we could taste was the bottom -- chocolate. After it was down my throat I could start tasting the Sugar Cookie flavor a little bit, but I think it needed more flavor. By then, my coffee was halfway gone because of how sweet the Peeps were.



After I lingered past the Sugar Cookie Peeps coating I faced an even harder challenge: next up was Hot Cocoa Peeps. It was pretty good. I liked how the marshmallow didn't have a ton of flavor to it, because of how overwhelming the coating (vanilla) was on the bottom. I barely made it past that one. I had one more to go. My coffee was almost gone. The coffee was also for washing the taste of one Peeps out so I could taste the flavor of the next one.



Then came the best one, which made me think that I had to eat it and I couldn't let it pass by. I ate it of course, and felt glad that I did. It was very, very good. It was Candy Cane with a mint chocolate coating on the bottom. When I ate the regular marshmallow part, it was very, very good. It tasted like peppermint. Then the mint chocolate bottom tasted like a Junior Mint, which made it very, very minty flavored which I liked a lot.



So after I drank all my coffee and ate all the Peeps, my stomach hurt for two reasons: the Peeps which were very, very, very sweet and the Green Bay Packers (my favorite NFL team) were about to play the New England Patriots (another very good team). Thankfully the final score was 26-21, the Packers.

So disregarding the standings of how I liked them, all the Peeps that I had were very, very good. It was hard picking but the standings are:
No. 1: Candy Cane with mint chocolate coating
No. 2: Red Velvet coated with vanilla
No. 3: Hot Cocoa coated with vanilla
No. 4: Sugar Cookie coated with milk chocolate

Although that was one of my strangest reviews I can say that my hot sauce review was even more strange. So, warning: do not eat too much Peeps at a time or you will suffer from severe sweetness. That's it.
