Ground Cherries? Peepers or Tomato

I can't seem to get the info right. Help. Are these classified as tomatoes, peppers, or just something else?


Peppers not peepers.. haha..

From what I've been told, they are a close relative of the Tomatillo. I grew ground cherries this year, and wasn't a huge fan. Some people really love them though.

They have the same type of paper covering.  Taste kinda like a tomatillo crossed with a pineapple or grape to me.  Unusual for sure and great in hot sauces but not so great for eating out of hand imo.  
 
They're part of the nightshade family like potatoes and tomatoes. They grow wild here and I just mow them down but some always seem to mature somewhere in a garden row.
