last year\u2019s Peeps Mystery Flavors<\/a> and I was very much caught off guard. <\/p>\nNot one, not two, but three new flavors that I get to try and guess?! COUNT ME IN. I fell in love with the buttered popcorn one and so this makes me very excited to see what Peeps has in store this year. What would be the new buttered popcorn for me?<\/p>\n
There are again three flavors to guess and while the packaging has stayed similar the Peeps are now speckled with bright color flakes. This adds a whole another layer of complexity as it ties the colors directly to the peeps giving you another reference point to lead you to the correct flavor or just throw you off completely.<\/p>\n
First up is my favorite, Mystery Flavor #1 of 3.<\/p>\n
On first whiff, there is a predominately maple kind of scent like straight maple syrup, perhaps even a hint of caramel as well. Biting into the Peeps, I love how the sugar and flakes on the outside mix together with the squishy marshmallow inside. <\/p>\n
However, the flavor doesn\u2019t get any stronger, which is disappointing. I still taste maple but then also think these could be coffee too, but definitely with some creaminess. I really enjoyed these but am completely stumped by the flavor. They could be waffles or pancakes or cappuccino or latte but what I keep coming back to is maple syrup.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Next up is my least favorite, Mystery Flavor #2 of 3.<\/p>\n
After opening it I got a serious blast of fruitiness, but not sure which one yet. Eating the Peeps, made me think instantly of orange. These had a lot of flavor and were sweet, but also tart. There may be another flavor in there but these tasted exactly like those orange fruit slice candies. It can\u2019t be THAT simple, though, can it? Maybe these are blood orange or something. Plain old orange would be a serious missed opportunity.<\/p>\n
Finally, Mystery Flavor #3 of 3.<\/p>\n
Smelling these I got fruitiness again but distinctly a lemon-lime scent. Eating them, yep, lemon-lime was coming in very strong with sour notes, too. However, the flakes are yellow and green, which seems way too easy, unless that was on purpose to trick us? Brand mashups are all the rage recently, so maybe these are in fact sour Sprite flavored. Let\u2019s go with that!<\/p>\n

\nPros:<\/b> The fun that mystery flavors bring. Colored flakes upping the confusion factor. Sugary outsides and marshmallow insides joining together in perfect harmony.
\nCons:<\/b> Two-thirds of the flavors seem to be fruit based. Not finding my buttered popcorn successor. The agony that will take place until the flavors are officially revealed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
