marshmallow chicks

Sugary spring treats

Marshmallow chicks are small candy confections shaped like baby birds, made from sugar-coated marshmallow.

They appear primarily around Easter, often in pastel colors alongside marshmallow bunnies.

The best-known brand is Peeps: The kids got marshmallow chicks in their Easter baskets.

People either love them or find their texture unpleasant.
