While some people are enjoying green-colored mint vanilla milk for St. Patrick's Day, others will be enjoying this peeps-flavored milk for Easter. Available for a limited time, the Prairie Farms Peeps marshmallow beverages come in a variety of flavors including chocolate marshmallow, regular marshmallow and Easter eggnog. The first two are also made with reduced fat milk.
Prairie Farms collaborated with Just Born to create the peeps-flavored milk as well as other dairy products. As peeps are considered the most popular non-chocolate candy during Easter, the combination of milk and marshmallow was considered "an obvious choice." For bonus points, you could try warming up a glass of the milk in the microwave to see if expands too.
