It wouldn’t be Easter without Peeps — those pastel sugar-coated, marshmallow chicks that fill baskets every year. But while Just Born, the Pennsylvania-based candy company which makes the sticky sweets, has temporarily shuttered due to COVID-19, the company assures everyone that their Peeps are safe.

Just Born, which also produces Mike and Ikes and Goldenberg’s Peanut Chews, expects to reopen April 7.
