Although I will eat some other Peeps creation from time to time, they never taste the same as the chickies ... & none of the chickies ever taste as good as the white ones which unfortunately aren't made anymore. The Peeps company decided white was "blah" for today's consumers I guess, but I always considered them to be the "gourmet Peeps." Also, my Peeps must age before they are fit to be eaten. I place an open package on top of the refrigerator for a few days until the aging process is complete. Hard chewiness ... yum!
