Fat Tuesday is next week and now is the time to start to think about Easter candy!

Don't be surprised if you find a new flavor of Peeps in your basket.

According to Metro Source News:

New flavors for this year include pancakes and syrup, cotton candy, root beer float and blue raspberry.  Just Born, the company that makes Peeps, says nearly 70-percent of children in America receive peeps in their Easter baskets.

I don't mind a good Peep every now and again. But if we are talking about favorite candy in the Easter basket; give me a black jelly bean anytime!! That licorice flavor is amazing!

You should be able to find the new flavors at store near you!
