Peeps Oreos: A Tasty Treat 4 ur Peep (s)

Peeps Oreos



History: 

Peeps Oreos are a special Easter flavor introduced in time for Spring 2017. They are the second "D-Grade Candy" flavor in the last six months, following the truly detestable Swedish Fish flavor. I hate Peeps, but I'll eat marshmallows all day long.

Cookie: Golden!

Creme: Quite special. Going into the cookie I expected something similar to the 'marshmallow crispie' variety from 2015. That cookie wasn't great - far, far too sweet, and if you've read my reviews you're probably familiar with my sensitivity to Oreo sweetness. It is, by far, the most common shortcoming  seen in new Oreo varieties. Peeps Oreos, thankfully, don't exhibit that problem! The marshmallow creme actually tastes like marshmallows without going overboard. It is as close as we'll ever come to just putting a marshmallow between two Oreo cookies.

Thankfully they don't taste like Peeps, which are shitty and nowhere near as good as pure marshmallows.

Additionally, the hot pink creme also has the slightest texture of hard sugar like the Peep candy. It's enough to be noticeable, but it isn't enough to feel unpleasant.

Gorgability: I couldn't stop and now I'm a giant marshmallow.

Verdict: 4/5
