No offense to chocolate bunnies, but it just wouldn't be Easter without Peeps! The marshmallow confection is one of those Easter treats that holds a special place in many people's hearts. But what started as cute little yellow chicks back in 1953, have now taken on all new flavors, colors, and even shapes. (Remember those giant bunny-shaped Peeps?)
Well, last year was a momentous occasion when Peeps announced that they would be teaming up with none other than Ladd Drummond's go-to drink: Dr Pepper! The special, limited-edition treat combined melt-in-your-mouth marshmallow with the iconic 23 flavors of Dr Pepper. And let's just say it was a hit! They've officially decided to bring the Dr Pepper Peeps flavor back for 2024.
The fan-favorite product, which is said to be sweet and refreshing, will be available at Walmart and in stores nationwide—and if you're anything like the Drummonds, you'll want to get your hands on them quick! But there also are a few other new flavors from the iconic brand that you can try including Peeps Rice Krispies Treats, Peeps Icee Blue Raspberry, Peeps Sour Strawberry, and Peeps Delights S'more Graham Cracker.
Last year marked the 70th anniversary of Peeps, and it's clear the brand is as popular and innovative as ever. "Having been a cherished part of family traditions and festivities for over seven decades, the Peeps Brand is so excited to help families create even more moments of sweetness with the launch of our 2024 Easter Marshmallow offerings," said Caitlin Servian, brand manager for Peeps.
The all-new tasty flavors—along with the returning Dr Pepper flavor—are perfect for adding to your Easter baskets or your favorite Peeps desserts.
Of course, you can enjoy the flavor of Dr Pepper beyond just marshmallows. Just look at Ree's Dr Pepper pulled pork sandwiches that are perfect for making this spring and her Dr Pepper cupcakes for dessert.
