About CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES
Kroger Co.'s PEEPS-branded Chocolate Cupcakes are a multi-component novelty baked good that incorporates a licensed PEEPS marshmallow chick topper into a standard cupcake format. Each 53-gram serving provides 377 calories, 67.9 grams of carbohydrates, 11.3 grams of fat, and 3.8 grams of protein.
The cake layer is made with enriched bleached wheat flour, soybean oil, eggs, skim milk, and alkali-processed cocoa. The white icing contains vegetable shortening made from interesterified soybean oil and hydrogenated cottonseed oil, a formulation that indicates legacy trans-fat potential from the cottonseed oil component. Titanium dioxide is used for whiteness, and potassium sorbate serves as a preservative.
The PEEPS marshmallow chick component is composed of sugar, corn syrup, and gelatin — making the product non-vegetarian and non-vegan — along with synthetic dyes Yellow 5 (tartrazine) and Red 3, Blue 1, and carnauba wax for sheen. Decorative sequins add rice flour, gum arabic, and additional artificial colors. The product carries multiple allergens: wheat, milk, eggs, and soy. The complexity of ingredients across three sub-components makes this one of the more elaborately formulated items in the Kroger baked goods line.
