Peeps & Company

Who would have thought that there would be an entire store devoted to tiny marshmallow creations, also known as Peeps! The store is located on the interior of the mall close to Nickelodeon Universe, which makes it a prime target and destination for parents and small children.
The store is devoted to all things Peeps, from original Peeps, mini chocolates, and even Peep scented candles. In addition to getting Peeps to eat, you can also dress yourself in Peeps themed clothing. Although this store is heavily focused on Peeps, there is a large section where you can mix your own Mike & Ike’s and Hot Tamales.
I have to admit that this was a bit of a guilty pleasure, and I couldn’t leave without making a small purchase.

When in Minnesota…
Buy your cray cray nephew Peeps everything he’s ever dreamed of at Peeps & Company because this place, friends, is Peeps Heaven. My nephew loves Peeps so much that he has to be rationed for energy purposes. The kid is already bouncing off the walls as-​is, so how else can I turn up the power on this seven year old? Duh, Peeps in a rainbow of flavors and shapes. (Sorry, not sorry, to my brother, haha) But, seriously, how awesome is it they have a store of a simple marshmallow treat? Genius!
Located in the Nickelodeon Universe area, you can’t miss the Peeps & Company sign and the delish yellow Peep inviting you in. Then throw in every staff member offering you Peeps, Mike & Ike’s, and other intriguing treats to try. You, too, will be bouncing off the walls (too many Peeps in the belly, haha — too soon?) and feeling like you have to buy EVERYTHING. (Maybe that was just me.) FYI — in the store, they sell a ton of Mike & Ike’s of all flavors (think Jelly Beans, but better — just my opinion) and Hot Tamales. Candy for days, right?!
There truly is Peeps everything: shirts, magnets, stuffed Peeps animals, lunchbags, pens, laptop cases, baby stuff, mugs, cups — you name it, they prob have it. Oh yes, and they have Peeps — original, chocolate crème, vanilla crème, strawberry, watermelon, chocolate covered Peeps, purple Peeps, Halloween Peeps — whoa, I’m Peeped out! (You get the point.)
Long story short, what a find it was to discover this #amaze store. I know my nephew will continue to call me his favorite Aunty — yes, marshmallow bribery wins over this kiddo. (And no, I will not babysit him after he’s eaten all the Peeps I bought for him.)
Peeps Out! (Ok, I’m done.)

Who knew there was an entire store for peeps candy? I find them appalling but it was an easy stop in Mall of America to pick up a cheap souvenir for the kids. They sell everything Peep you can imagine including colors you don’t normally find in the grocery store. You’ve always wanted a peep notebook and pen set, right ?
Not only do they sell Peeps but they have Mike and Ike and Hot Tamales too. The Three Alarm Hot Tamales are not for the weak of heart ! I felt steam coming out of my ears just like in the cartons !
