A (Surprisingly Sweet) Little History of Peeps

Did you know Peeps have been peepin’ around for over 70 years?

Yep, those squishy, sugar-dusted marshmallow critters have a longer legacy than you might think.

They hatched (pun fully intended) way back in 1953, when the Just Born candy company—based in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania—acquired the Rodda Candy Company, a small business that handmade marshmallow chicks.

Back then, each Peep was piped by hand and took over 24 hours to create! (Can you imagine waiting that long for one marshmallow?)

But Just Born wasn’t having it—they mechanized the process and cut production time down to six minutes flat. That’s how the mass production magic began.

While yellow chicks were the original OGs, bunnies and pastel colors joined the lineup over time, followed by an explosion of seasonal varieties—from spooky Halloween Peeps to festive Christmas trees.

Love them or lovingly avoid them, Peeps are now a full-blown pop culture icon.
