After shaping, the Peeps are left to set and are then coated with colored sugar. The article highlights the company's efforts to maintain the traditional taste and texture of Peeps while also innovating with new flavors and seasonal shapes to keep up with consumer trends. Just Born's commitment to quality and nostalgia, combined with modern production techniques, ensures that Peeps remain a beloved Easter tradition.
