Blue Raspberry Icee Peeps and Peeps flavored Icee - taste test comparison

Today we're trying the last of our collection of Peeps flavors we've gathered this Easter. We found Dr Pepper Peeps (which were delicious), Rice Krispies Treats Peeps (which were unremarkable), and Churro Peeps (which were also unremarkable). For our last flavor, we are trying Peeps Blue Raspberry Icee! 


And so, we headed to the store to find Icees that we could compare them to! "But wait," I hear you say, "haven't you already tried Blue Raspberry Peeps?" Wow, what an amazing memory you have. I'm impressed. We have indeed tried Blue Raspberry Peeps, but those were a little different.  

Back in 2020, right as the pandemic started, we found Blue Raspberry Peeps, but they weren't branded as Icee at that time. Despite that, I was trying to think of things to compare it to that were blue raspberry flavored. Even back then I chose Blue Raspberry Icees and Blue Raspberry Sour Punch Straws! 

Happy Easter! 2025/04/20

Happy Easter!


The Easter Bunny came with treats for the kids. He must have remembered that Alli liked Blue Raspberry Peeps and Ian liked Cotton Candy Peeps from our taste test years ago. And that Alli likes Dove chocolate, while Ian likes Hershey's chocolate.

Peeps Cinnamon Churro - taste test comparison

It's time for another Peeps taste test! So far this season we've had Dr Pepper Peeps and Rice Krispies Treats Peeps. Today it's Peeps Cinnamon Churro! 


I've made my own churros at home a few times when we made Disney Treats at home, tasted Cinnamon Toast Crunch Churros, and Chocolate Cinnamon Toast Crunch Churros. Today though, we'll give someone else a chance. I found these Goya Churros with chocolate dipping sauce at our local Target. 

Peeps Rice Krispy Treats - taste test comparison

Happy Easter! We're trying out lots of the new Peeps flavors that came out this year and today we're trying Rice Krispy Treat flavored Peeps! And even better than trying Peeps alone is hanging out and doing things with friends! We're going to make Rice Krispy Treats together and see how the Peeps Compare! 


Let's make some Rice Krispies!

Dr Pepper flavored Peeps - taste test comparison

It's Easter time which means it's time for Easter treats! And one of our favorite treats is Peeps! 

We've tasted a whole bunch of different flavored Peeps, including back in 2020 when we tried 9 unique flavors! This year, I noticed that Peeps has added quite a few new flavors to the line-up, so we'll be trying them along with the item they're supposed to represent! 

Today we've got a really special one. Based on the best soda out there (arguably) it's the Dr Pepper Peep! We've tried Dr Pepper Cotton Candy, Dr Pepper Baked Beans, and lots of flavors of Dr Pepper. Growing up I even remember a Dr Pepper gum that had a liquid center. How will these Peeps compare? 


And of course, to compare, we'll have a cold can of Dr Pepper to see how close Peeps really get to the flavor of Dr Pepper.

Peppermint Candy Cane Peeps and Brachs Candy Cane Taste Test Comparison

Time for more holiday treats! This time it's from the makers of all those Easter marshmallows, Peeps! For Christmas, they have come out with Candy Cane Peeps 


Alli and Ian bought these for me and said that we should do a taste test. I agree! 
But these Peeps we're trying today are Candy Cane Peeps. I love the packaging with its red and white stripes. We all think it's pretty hilarious that they can't seem to put the eyes in the proper place on the Peeps. These ones all seem to be looking to one side (or have an "eye" on the top of their heads). 

Joe - They're all leaning to one side, like a dog going "huh?"

For our comparison today you've got to go with the delicious Brach's candy cane. I know there's lots of different candy cane makers out there, including Spangler, but we think Brach's makes the best hard candy.

Little Caesars Pineapple Pepsi Taste Test Comparison

You've heard the endless debate about whether or not Pineapple belongs on pizza. Some say it's delicious, while others call it an abomination. That debate will continue to go on, but today we have a different question to answer. 

Does Pineapple belong in Pepsi? 


And who has brought us this question to ponder? It's Little Caesars! They've partnered with Pepsi for a Little Caesars exclusive drink! 
Today, we'll give that a try, along with regular Pepsi and pineapple juice to see if this is something we like and can make ourselves!

Peeps Filled Ropes Taste Test Comparison

As a family, we've tried a whole lots of different Peeps. 

Original Peeps to homemade sugared marshmallows, Cotton Candy Peeps, Hot Tamales Peeps, Pancakes and Syrup Peeps, Fruit Punch Peeps, Blue Raspberry Peeps, Sour Watermelon Peeps, Party Cake Peeps, and Root Beer Float Peeps. We compared all those flavors in a Peeps Face-off Taste Test challenge. We bought the chocolate dipped Peeps. We tried Peeps cereal back in 2019, and then again in 2021 when they changed the cereal marshmallows. And when Pepsi came out with a Peeps flavored soda called Peepsi, we tried that too! There was Peeps Cotton Candy, Peeps Gummies, and Peeps Lollipop Rings

So, when I saw another version of Peeps on the shelves this Easter, I knew we'd be trying it. These are Peeps Filled Ropes!


And right off the bat, the kids and I saw that they got the colors wrong. Sure Peeps are blue, pink, and yellow. But not that color blue, pink, and yellow. And Alli wanted to know why there was only one red/pink one.

Hot Tamales Cotton Candy taste test comparison

Hot Tamale Cotton Candy? I love Hot Tamale candies! They are one of my favorite movie snacks! But, can that spicy goodness be captured by a cotton candy? We'll find out! 


The Hot Tamales candies are a bright red color, while the Hot Tamales Cotton Candy is definitely not. It's the standard pink color that we're used to seeing. I think the bag is maybe exaggerating the color of the cotton candy. It's nowhere close to that color. 
Theresa - Can you imagine how much red dye would be in that if they did? 
Theresa - This is going to be a love/hate relationship. My favorite candy and my least favorite candy. 
She does not like the texture of cotton candy at all.

Tasting Peeps Lollipop Rings

For our final Peeps inspired treat, I found Peeps Lollipop Rings! 


These ring based lollipops remind me a lot of Ringpops and would work great in an Easter basket.

Taste Testing Peeps Gummies

Easter is coming so there's lots of new Easter themed candies around! My favorite Easter treat are Cadbury Mini Eggs, but that's followed closely by Peeps. Peeps have decided to expand their lineup this year with a few new treats. Now instead of just marshmallows, they're trying Peeps Gummies too! 

Alli - I loved the Peeps cereal. Ah yes, I remember that one too


How will they stack up? Read along and find out! 
Being Peeps related, of course they're Marshmallow Flavored.

Taste Testing Peeps Cotton Candy

As we get closer and closer to Easter, I've been seeing a lot more Peeps themed snacks around. Not just the classic marshmallow chicks that are at every grocery store, but also some more unique items that I haven't seen before. Well for the Peeps lovers in this family, I know what to do whenever we see something new! We try it of course! 

Let's start off with this Peeps Cotton Candy! 


As I was looking around Dollar Tree, I found these two bags of real cotton candy. Not to be confused with the Marshmallow Peeps flavored like Cotton Candy that we tried before

Tasting Peeps Pepsi, Peepsi, a Marshmallow Flavored Soda

Pepsi flavored to taste like Peeps? You know we're in! My brother sent me a picture in early February of Peeps Pepsi from the internet. Both of us set out to find it. 

We love trying lots of different Peeps. We've done multiple Peeps taste tests, comparing the flavored Peeps to their counterparts, like Original Peeps to homemade sugared marshmallows, Cotton Candy Peeps, Hot Tamales Peeps, Pancakes and Syrup Peeps, Fruit Punch Peeps, Blue Raspberry Peeps, Sour Watermelon Peeps, Party Cake Peeps, and Root Beer Float Peeps. We compared all those flavors in a Peeps Face-off Taste Test challenge. We bought the chocolate dipped Peeps. We tried Peeps cereal back in 2019, and then again in 2021 when they changed the cereal marshmallows


I love that the bottles are the bright yellow of the classic JustBorn Peeps.

A visit to Michigan Pt 1 - 2022/04/28-05/05

Didn't we just get to Colorado? Just a few days ago we completed our long trip from Orlando Florida to Colorado Springs Colorado in the RV. Since we're planning to crash here for a few weeks, we decided to take the opportunity to head up to Michigan to see all that family again. Pop Pop and Gram drove us up to the Denver airport.

Saturday morning cereals - Peeps Cereal 2021 edition

Easter is almost here and the kids were thrilled when they saw Peeps cereal back in the store. They loved it back in 2019 when we tried it for the very first time!


It looks like they've made a few changes in the 2021 edition too! Now instead of plain white marshmallows, these marshmallows are shaped like Peeps Bunnies and Chicks! 
We'll of course have some regular Peeps to try along with them.

Kool-Aid Tropical Punch Cotton Candy

Kool-Aid Cotton Candy? While I was at CVS I happened to see this randomly on the candy shelves. I like Cotton Candy, so yeah! Why not! And as I was looking around at graphics for this article, I found one of the Kool-Aid Man crashing through a wall holding cotton candy for a Mystery Flavor promotion they did recently. Gotta use that. 


The Kool-Aid Cotton Candy is Tropical Punch flavored. We'll be tasting it along side regular Kool-Aid Tropical Punch as well as Tropical Punch Kool-Aid Bursts.

There's nine flavors, so I've got a bracket and we're going to do this properly.
Those flavors are:

Peeps

All of those 8 other Peeps taste tests has finally led to this. The original Peeps.
The Just Born company was started in 1923 by Sam Born. As the company grew, it acquired other candy companies. In 1953, Just Born bought the Rodda Candy company, who was responsible for making marshmallow Peeps. Originally made by hand though piping tubes, a year after buying the company they mechanized the whole thing, allowing them to make Peeps a lot faster!

Here's what we're tasting today. We'll get into that in just a little bit.
