OT: update on ChocoBats

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their reply: __________________________ ...While we no longer make PEEPS Cocoa flavored Bats, rest assured, they have been replaced by PEEPS Cocoa flavored Cats this Halloween.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!] ;-)

t, JoAnn Fabrics and Dollar Tree. If you don't see them, be sure to ask for them!>

that is a crock - I have checked the local Jo Ann Fabric stores - and they don't have them - -and when I asked the response was "we get what we get, and can't order anything"

SCORE!!

Dollar Tree had both the Cocoa Cats (very cute) and the filled pumpkins! (but no regular peeps).

They were located on a aisle towards the back - not prominently displayed like I expected.

I'll be having a taste test later :)

Later???!?? You mean they survived the trip home intact? I would have been munching on them before I'd gotten out the door of the store! However do you control yourself so well?

So are there pumpkin peeps *and* FILLED pumpkin peeps? I saw pumpkin peeps at Michaels last night, but didn't see any obvious indication that they were filled. I didn't get too close, though, as I'm on an avoid-processed-sugars diet, and I'll be damned if I'll let those little monsters draw me off track! (Oh, but how I do love peeps.)

ME TOO. Good lord, and she got them all the way home, too! I'd have eaten an entire package in the car. KATHY! Are you sick, honey?

Yes -- they're different.

I got a link from the Peeps folks at JustBorn - - to buy candy online. [They said not all JoAnn's etc. carry all the product line.]

I guess I'll have to order online since the nearest JoAnn's is a two-hour roundtrip drive. I know I'm just obsessed enough to make the drive, but I think I'll control myself - - this time.

Click on 'Halloween Candy' for all sorts of stuff, then scroll down a bit for Peeps (including the CocoaCats and chocolate cream-filled pumpkins!).
