Peeps are back! The sugary treat was absent during Halloween and Christmas last year, but are making a comeback just in time for Easter.
The producer of the treats, Just Born, halted production last April to protect their employees’ health during the beginning of the pandemic.
Two new flavors are being introduced: Hot Tamales Fierce Cinnamon Flavored Marshmallow Chicks and Froot Loops Flavored Pop.
