The name of this bothers me because there is only one Peep in the egg. Why is it called Peeps inside a milk chocolate egg? A quick check of Wikipedia suggests that Peeps is the proper name for singular and plural. Odd.
Anywho, had a hard time passing up a chocolate egg with a Peep inside. I loved Peeps as a kid, would get big packages of them in my Easter baskets and would devour them with relish. After I hit about 15 though, I couldn't handle all that marshmallowy sugar sprinkled goodess. The occasional Peep is a nice treat though.
The egg smelled nice and chocolately upon unwrapping and I was delighted to see that there were little Peeps carved into the face of the egg (might be hard to see in the picture sadly) along with the actual word "Peeps."
I eagerly cracked the egg open along the seam and it broke pretty nicely and easily and revealed the beloved Peep in chick form. Bright yellow and sugar crusted just like it should be.
The chocolate was pretty average, almost like a Cadbury Dairy Milk bar, very sweet and smooth. The Peep was just right, soft and slightly sticky with that great little crunch from the sugar coating.
An interesting thing I noticed when I took a gander at the nutritional information on the package was the serving size. It said that half the package was a serving and that in one container there two servings. This led me to ponder...is half, just the egg? just the Peep? half of each? I suppose it's just one of those mysteries of life that we'll never solve. If only Robert Stack were still alive, I would submit this for Unsolved Mysteries.
