Mike & Ikes are my favorite. Fruit flavored jelly beans that are delicious. The packs come in different sizes and weights. I formerly liked Hot Tamales the intense cinnamon jelly beans; but, have switched favorites.

I had no idea that Just Born were the manufacturers of Peeps, because I was here for the wonderful Goldenberg's Peanut Chews. Since 1917, these bite-sized candy pieces are made here. Goldenberg's company was acquired by Just Born in 2003, who made some small adjustments to the product to try to expand beyond the mid-Atlantic. Originally, a military ration bar, they've since been released for the public to enjoy. Chewy, chocolate, peanuts. A delicious treat that I had had as a child and rediscovered more recently. They sell them in the original wrapper design at Cracker Barrel with the other candy. Yay!

Blue raspberry is one of my favorite flavors though and it was enough to get me to buy these for the first time a couple Easters ago. The packaging easily caught my eye as it’s a lovely combination of blue and purple hues. Each package contains ten beautiful blue peeps (it doesn’t hurt that this shade of blue is my favorite color). A sugary coating covers each marshmallow bird. The flavor is a right on the mark sour blue raspberry, but it’s good. All of the sour aspect and flavor comes from the outer coating with the inner marshmallow being like a standard Peep. Interestingly, I’m on the team that believes Peeps are best enjoyed stale (don’t knock it until you try it, I was once a non-believer). I find they are best at two to three weeks after being open to the air. The flavor is not altered in any way, but the texture vastly improves. The Peeps become much chewier with each passing week. I don’t think I would let them g
