Easter Onslaught

Regular readers will no doubt be familiar with our previous Easter related posts, Limited Edition Peeps, Cadbury White Mini Eggs, Marshmallow 3 Musketeers, and Nerds Jelly Beans. With a holiday so closely tied to candy though it would be a shame to stop there.  So today, under the guise of needing candy for my niece and nephews for Easter, I went to Walmart and went a little crazy.  Here is the Twinkie Wiener Sandwich Easter Onslaught!

Lifesavers Jelly Beans
These are a very straightforward approach to jelly beans. Based on Lifesavers hard candy they are very sweet and a little uninteresting. Not at all bad, but not at all exciting either.

Starburst Crazy Cores Jelly Beans
Another fairly straightforward approach but with a twist of whacky flavor combinations. Each color is dual flavored (one on the outer shell and one in the center) meaning you can really get "crazy" by mixing multiple colors. Also not bad and definitely more interesting than the Lifesavers.

Warheads Jelly Beans
Fairly standard jelly bean flavors coated in citric acid. Not as sour as a regular Warhead but delicious anyway. My favorite of this lot (although Nerds are still my favorite overall).

And now for the Peeps!

Party Cake
Tastes like a marshmallow dipped in cake batter. While it is a little on the sweet side, it stays tolerable and even a little pleasant.

Bubble Gum
Surprisingly good. A subtile enough flavor to not overwhelm. The only issue is forcing yourself to swallow something chewy and bubble gum flavored.

Sweet Lemonade
I liked this a lot. Almost tastes like the Peeps were dipped in Country Time powder (although a lot less sour).

Blue Raspberry
Another decent one here. A little sour and tart, it balances the sweetness of the marshmallow. A great option for someone who finds Peeps too sweet.

Sour Watermelon
Didn't love this one. The flavor felt a little too strong and the marshmallow does nothing to cut it. Tastes like watermelon Jolly Ranchers.

Given how little I liked the Limited Edition Peeps, I didn't have high hopes for these and was pleasantly surprised. I'd say Sweet Lemonade was my favorite of the lot.

Happy Easter from Twinkie Wiener Sandwich!
