Because of production delays caused by the company’s manufacturing shutdown during the COVID-19 crisis earlier this year it has decided it won’t be putting out any specialty peeps or other candies this year so it can concentrate on its biggest holiday – Easter.

Just Born of Bethlehem, maker of PEEPS and other popular candies is extending its voluntary production suspension through May 3.

Bethlehem’s Just Born has now decided to close its production facility through at least April 7 to help stop the spread of COVID-19.

Just Born, which manufactures PEEPS and Mike & Ikes in Bethlehem said it will continue operations, while adjusting to extra precautions because of the coronavirus.

Just Born Quality Confections, the candy manufacturer headquartered in Bethlehem, widely known for its PEEPS chick, a glittery candy-coated marshmallow confection, will descend a bright yellow illuminated PEEPS chick for the new year's countdown.

Ross and Wendy Born will be honored later this year by the Eastern PA Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals with the 2019 Lifetime Achievement Award.
