    What Are Peeps? And Why Are They So Controversial?

    The combination of sweet colored sugar and fluffy marshmallow creates an unforgettable taste experience. For some of us, that might mean running to the nearest garbage can and then sticking our heads under the faucet to wash that unforgettable taste experience out of our mouths. But whether you love hate by all indications, Peeps marshmallow candies are here to stay. After all they have been around since 1953. The Peeps took 27 hours from start to finish to make these marshmallow chicks, thanks to the very lengthy cooling time required before the candy could be packaged. Peeps contain gelatin that shouldn’t be news to anyone who has ever eaten a marshmallow. Thanks to the kind of gelatin, vegans will want to steer clear of the Easter treat. Each Easter season, Americans purchase over 700 million Peeps!
