Those with an unabated sweet-tooth can rejoice this autumn as Peeps, the popular marshmallow candy shaped like chicks and other animals, will be coming out with a three new special seasonal flavours.

Consumers will soon be able to purchase the candies in pumpkin spice, caramel apple and candy corn. Do your teeth hurt yet?

Normally popular around Easter, these additions will, seemingly make the candies a viable year-round treat.

The jury, however, remains undecided about whether any of the new flavours actually taste good, says TIME.

Recently, a few editors at the Huffington Post conducted a blind taste test of the three new varieties.

So far, the front-runner appears to be the caramel apple flavour, although registering only a lukewarm endorsement.

“My taste buds are rather confused, but I like it,” said one of the blind reviewers.

The pumpkin spice Peep had mixed reviews with one editor saying “[it] tasted like pumpkin chapstick.” Another reviewer said they would actually eat it for breakfast.

There was no love for the candy corn flavour. Apparently it’s “totally gross.”
