Peep are a brand of American marshmallows that, although they are available all year, are associated with Easter. A bit like our Creme Egg (although they aren’t around in the Summer). Peeps are usually chick shaped but have other seasonal variations and they have various flavours too throughout the year. I managed to find these at an online import shop, these ones are The Original Donut Shop Coffee Flavoured Marshmallow Peeps.I am going to guess that The Original Donut Shop is a chain of coffee shops in The States and that their coffee is pretty famous, so much so you can mallows flavoured with it.
Inside the pack was a row of Peeps chicks, which peeled apart, leaving my finger with bits of sugar on them. The smell of sugar and coffee was quite strong. The flavour is more mild with the marshmallow, it is is sweet and there is coffee but it is more delicate than the strong aroma suggested. The Original Donut Shop Coffee Flavoured Marshmallow Peeps are rather cute too and as regular readers will know I love hot chocolate, there really was only place to serve these Peeps, sitting on a cloud of cream on top of my cocoa.
