I Just Came for the Peeps, Part 1
As a part of my new column I Just Came for the Food, I’m setting out to try all of the new Easter flavors of Just Born Inc.’s popular candy, Peeps.
Peeps currently offers an interesting variety of flavors, many of which are specific store exclusives. Today, I will be reviewing Sour Watermelon and Blue Raspberry flavored marshmallow chicks, but before I get into that; here’s what you have to look forward to:

Now lets get down to business…
This might be my new favorite candy! (At least my favorite peeps) The sour watermelon flavor is subtle and honestly not very sour, but that is not bad in this case. It’s what I consider “delightfully tangy”. The chick itself is a light pink marshmallow coated in a bright green sugar. A perfect peep.
My Rating: 
These, contrary to the packaging, are the actual sour candy of the two flavors. However, I do not consider this to be good. The flavor is a little to tart for my tastes, but sour lovers should celebrate Blue Raspberry Peeps arrival. Bonus: The bright blue marshmallow and sugar coating turns your tongue blue in seconds!
My Rating:
Next time: Mystery peeps 1 & 2.
