Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. Weren’t we just decorating the Christmas tree yesterday? It would seem that way.
Valentine’s Day is a fun holiday for both children and adults. Children get to give and receive fun Valentine’s Day cards from their friends and classmates and adults get to enjoy a romantic dinner, flowers, chocolate and perhaps even an engagement.
I have to admit, chocolates are one of my favorite things about Valentine’s Day. I have a “sweet tooth” and enjoy yummy goodies and sweet treats.
Have you seen the fun and colorful treats available from PEEPS & COMPANY® for Valentine’s Day this year?
PEEPS & COMPANY® sent me some goodies free to do a review.
Here are just a few of the goodies you can find at many retail locations. Look for these Peeps & Company goodies where the holiday candies are sold.
PEEPS® Valentine Hearts: Express your love with eight sparkly red marshmallow mini hearts. This new item is adorned with a write-on tag for personalized gifting!
I love this package. It’s a great alternative to a traditional card. Just be careful not to poke through the plastic wrap when writing on the to/from area. If you have a fine tip Sharpie it would work better.
PEEPS® Chocolate Dipped Strawberry Crème Flavored Chicks: Three delectable strawberry crème flavored marshmallow chicks dipped in smooth milk chocolate – perfect for the ones you love.
I LOVE the chocolate dipped PEEPS®. Marshmallow, chocolate and strawberry all combined in one bite? YUM!!!
PEEPS® Marshmallow Hearts: Available in 2 or 6 count packages, these pink heart shaped marshmallow hearts help show your sweetheart that you do know the way to their heart!
These hearts are ideal for the PEEPS® lover in your life. They are large in size too. You could use these to decorate cupcakes or a cake for your beloved too.
PEEPS® Strawberry Crème Flavored Marshmallow Hearts: Nine red marshmallow hearts with the delicious taste of strawberries and cream are perfect as a Valentine’s dessert treat or as a fun accent to your favorite craft or recipe.
Not only do I like the strawberry flavor, I also enjoy the rich color. These pair perfectly with the Pink Marshmallow Hearts and could also be incorporated into holiday recipes.
PEEPS® Cherries Drizzled and Dipped in Chocolate: Three cherry-shaped marshmallow flavored cherries dipped in and drizzled with decadent chocolate, perfect for sharing with that special someone.
These are dessert worthy. You could easily place these on a nice dessert plate and serve them as dessert for your significant other. They are very decadent.
PEEPS® Vanilla Crème Flavored Marshmallow Hearts: Nine vanilla crème flavored marshmallow hearts sprinkled with red flecks are a perfect snack to share, or delicious as a fun topper for hot cocoa.
These are a favorite of my husband’s. And they do make a wonderful topping for a cup of hot cocoa. Actually, any of the PEEPS® products would work well on top of hot cocoa. Hot cocoa and marshmallows are meant to be together.
PEEPS® Chocolate Covered Raspberry Flavored Heart: Individually wrapped raspberry flavored marshmallow heart covered in milk chocolate makes for a treat you can keep to yourself or share with your Valentine!
This is the first treat I went for when I opened the box of goodies from PEEPS & COMPANY® . I LOVE their marshmallows dipped and/or covered in chocolate. I also really enjoyed the raspberry flavor. I thought it might taste a lot like the strawberry marshmallows, but you can really taste the difference and you can tell this is raspberry flavored.
PEEPS & COMPANY® also represent other brands including MIKE AND IKE® and HOT TAMALES®. These brands also have some fun Valentine’s Day treats you might want to consider giving to your loved ones this holiday.
MIKE AND IKE® Passion Mix Candy: Feel the love of the season with the limited edition MIKE AND IKE® Passion Mix – a fruity and chewy assortment of Paradise Punch, Strawberry, Grape and Cherry in festive holiday colors.
These are GREAT flavors. I really like them, especially the grape flavored ones. I like to separate the flavors then eat them one by one (my son just tosses a bunch in his hand and pops them in his mouth). They might be tiny but they are packed with flavor. I like the colors too. Very festive.
HOT TAMALES® Fierce Cinnamon Candy: Spice up the special day with the original bold and fiery flavor of HOT TAMALES® Fierce Cinnamon! The festive box features a personalized tag – perfect for gifting in the box or using to craft something spicy for your favorite “HOTTIE”.
I LOVE this packaging! I love that it says “Hottie.” I plan on giving one of these to my husband. We have a family joke that involves the word “hottie” (it’s a long story). My husband is going to get a kick out of this.
HOT TAMALES® Valentine’s Lollipops: If you’re feeling extra bold and spicy this Valentine’s Day, the HOT TAMALES® Valentine’s Lollipops are sure to deliver! Available in circle and heart shapes, this fiery treat is a cinnamon-lovers dream!
This lollipop is so good! It’s hot, like HOT TAMALES® are. You wouldn’t expect that by looking at it. You can even see some tamales embedded inside the lollipop.
The HOT TAMALES® Valentine’s Lollipops and the PEEPS® Kabobs (sorry I don’t know the actual name for them) make a fun and tasty addition to a floral arrangement too.
PEEPS & COMPANY® also carries non-food items that would make for a delightful Valentine’s Day gift. For example, the PEEPS® Plush Valentine’s Day Bunny. This adorable 5″ plush bunny is soft and cuddly. It’s available in pink or red and has a little heart stitched on it. This cute little bunny would make a great Valentine’s Day gift for a child, grandparent or someone who enjoys adorable things.
I have one and I keep it on one of our bookcases as a decoration. He’s so cute that I am considering leaving him out all year long.
