Happy Valentine's Day, my friends! Who better to share it with than you all and Peeps!
Check out these little cuties - strawberry Peeps with a milk chocolate base:
It just doesn't get any cuter than this!
But here's the problem - they just don't taste very good. WAY too sickly strawberry sweet - maybe they need dark chocolate rather than milk chocolate. I love the chocolate/Peep combination - but the dark chocolate is the way to go. The sugary Peep needs the offsetting bitterness of the dark chocolate. Have any of you tried these? What do you think?
Did you see these at Christmas? I heard about them, but didn't see them in any store, so I had to order them from the online Peeps store. I had to order a CASE just to try them! I may not have been posting, but clearly my madness continues. They are caramel flavor (yay!) and dark chocolate:
Still adorable!
And WAY better in flavor. These are a winner!
You know, I tried to give a pack of these to one of my motivational seminar attendees and he said, "Ugh! I hate those things!" Now I KNOW he had never tried a caramel flavored chocolate based Peep. Total stereotyping. No open mind, no willingness to accept a gift. You know what I say?
Give Peeps a chance.

I have to admit the caramel ones are actually pretty good. I remain unconvinced by the original yellow peeps. But I opened my mind a little.
Yay - you gave Peeps a chance!!! These really do blow the originals out of the water. Or the chicken pen. : )
The chocolate covered Peeps are delightful!
