Peeps - Fruit Punch (Candy Mail) By @Cinabar

The only thing better than a hot chocolate is a hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows. The Americans have a huge brand of marshmallows called Peeps which are usually shaped as chicks but often seasonal editions in different shapes too. I bought a selection of their marshmallows to have with hot chocolates.

This box is the Peeps Fruit Punch edition, and the chicks inside are a bright shade of red. They sit in rows and pull apart quite easily. I popped one onto a bed of cream on top of a mug of cocoa. They do look lovely and very instagram worthy on top of the drink. I allowed the mallow to melt a little before giving it a taste. The coating on it was sweet and sour. Sherbet-like is probably the best description, but with a taste of Fruit Salad sweets. There was citrus and tang. The mallow smoothed out to a gentler flavour and was a lovely topper for a hot chocolate. I loved these Peeps Fruit Punch edition mallows. They are super cute and make me smile when making hot chocolate. I also can’t wait to try some of the Easter editions I picked up too. They are perfect fuel for my hot chocolate addiction.
