Did you know that the PEEPS brand joined the Just Born family in 1953, making the Just Born company what it is today? In 1954 Bob Born, creator of Just Born candy company personally helps design machines that can produce several PEEPS chicks at one time thus making the Just Born brand the largest marshmallow candy company in the world!
Of course the PEEPS chicks came first but shortly following in 1958 the company created the first marshmallow pumpkin for Halloween, which paved the way for several selections to follow such as hippie chicks for the 1960's, footballs in 1975, teddy bears in 1977, and of course the famous marshmallow bunny in 1980.
Recently, in 2009, marked the date for the first PEEPS & Company store to open offering each design available through the world famous brand. This year, 2011, PEEPS introduced their first ever Chocolate Covered PEEPS, which I am certainly thankful for!
