Spring will be here before you know it, and all of our favorite Easter candies are already starting to appear on store shelves … including the iconic Peeps Jelly Beans!

Peeps Jelly Beans are coming for another season, and these fruity marshmallow-flavored candies are going to be a must for Easter baskets. You can find them everywhere from Target to Walgreens to Amazon. This spring flavor is only around for a limited time, so make sure you stock up while you can.

A 10-ounce package of the beans is $2.99 at Target. You can also find smaller 4-ounce bags at places like Big Lots and Five Below for $1-$1.25.

Hip2Save reports there is a difference in these jelly beans from last year: you previously had to purchase three bags of different flavors to get all four: Blueberry, lemon and strawberry were each packaged separately with the white-colored marshmallow flavor. This time around, though, you can get them all together in one package.

Are you a Peeps fan? Keep your eyes peeled for other Peeps Easter treats headed your way! Their new flavors of Marshmallow Peeps include Hot Tamales Peeps. These cinnamon-flavored Peeps pack a little heat and can be found exclusively at the Kroger family of stores.
