 peeps
Fresh (or raw, as I tend to think of them) Peeps are extremely sweet, with a texture that is a mixture of pillowy soft and slightly crunchy (due to the sugar grains with which they are coated), and tend to almost dissolve in the mouth, leaving a sweet but fresh aftertaste.
Stale (or aged, as I tend to think of them) Peeps are less sweet than the raw Peeps, though still extremely sweet, satisfyingly chewy and crunchy (with some of the crunchiness being contributed by the staleness), and have a firm mouth-feel that softens as they warm and moisten in the mouth.
