Peeps are a marshmallow confection produced by candy maker Just Born since 1953 sold in the United States and Canada in the shape of chicks, bunnies, and other animals. Peeps were the earlier creation of the R. E. Rodda Candy Company of Lancaster, PA, and were offered for sale as early as 1948.
Though primarily promoted at Easter, Peeps have been marketed as "Always in Season", and as such have expanded to Halloween, Christmas and Valentine's Day. Since 2014, the confection has been available year-round with the introduction of Peeps Minis.
