Peeps can mean two different things depending on the context:
- Candy: Peeps are a popular marshmallow confection made by the candy company Just Born since 1953. They are usually shaped like chicks, bunnies, and other animals, often associated with Easter but also available for other holidays like Halloween and Christmas. Peeps are marshmallows coated with colored sugar and have edible wax eyes. They are a nostalgic sweet treat widely enjoyed in the United States and Canada.
- People (Informal): "Peeps" is also slang for "people," often used informally to refer to someone's group of friends, colleagues, or close associates. For example, "hanging out with my peeps" means spending time with your friends.
So, "Peeps" can refer to either the colorful marshmallow candies or informally to people depending on the context.
