Hey&#8230;that actually sounds kinda good.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Peeps-Filled-Delights-Neapolitan-2.jpg?resize=550%2C550&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Peeps Filled Delights Neapolitan 2\" title=\"Peeps Filled Delights Neapolitan 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"550\" height=\"550\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The aroma is a super strong sweet strawberry with a notable creaminess that does evoke Neapolitan ice cream. There\u2019s no chocolate on the nose, which is to be expected with all of the fudgy goodness hiding on the inside. There\u2019s something always oddly nostalgic about artificial strawberry and the way it mingles with the vanilla marshmallow scent is inviting.<\/p>\n<p>Going in for the kill, the \u2018mallow isn\u2019t as sweet as I was expecting and is surprisingly pretty well balanced for something composed almost entirely of sugar. The sometimes harsh over-the-top fake strawberry notes are mellowed by the cool and creamy white fudge, which, as with all Delights, brings a nice smooth foundation and slight crunch to the bouncy Peeps body. The fudge also helps bring to mind the mouthfeel of ice cream and a legitimate vanilla component that\u2019s necessary to the create the Neapolitan trifecta.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Peeps-Filled-Delights-Neapolitan-3.jpg?resize=550%2C550&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Peeps Filled Delights Neapolitan 3\" title=\"Peeps Filled Delights Neapolitan 3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"550\" height=\"550\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The chocolate filling is ample and erupts from the midsection of the Peep with a mellow milky cocoa quality very similar to Hershey\u2019s Syrup and an appearance like a snapshot from a <em>Law &#038; Order: SVU<\/em> crime scene. It&#8217;s runny enough to bring a completely different texture than the vanilla dip, but firm enough that it stays in place while biting. The chocolate is pretty sweet, but again, not over the top, and all three desired flavors come through on their own, but also work in harmony.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve gotta say, for a Peep that I had no intention of ever seeing exist (like all Peeps?) I enjoyed the execution of this oft-neglected style of ice cream turned into candy. In fact, I enjoyed these Peeps more than my last scoop of actual Neapolitan ice cream. But after eating two in a row, the sugar rush consumed my body.
