Well, I took the plunge and wrote to the Peeps people to see if it was true that Choco Bats had been discontinued. Here's their reply: __________________________ ...While we no longer make PEEPS Cocoa flavored Bats, rest assured, they have been replaced by PEEPS Cocoa flavored Cats this Halloween. They are the identical flavor, just a different shape. Some of the stores that carry them are Giant, JoAnn Fabrics and Dollar Tree. If you don't see them, be sure to ask for them! Again, thank you for taking the time to contact us; we hope this information is helpful. __________________________
So, there are no more BATS, but there are now Cocoa-CATS! Whew! I mean, this could have been DEVASTATING!!!!!!!!!!
HTH! Susan in VA [who has still never laid eyes on a chocobat *or* cat!] ;-)
