I love the great deals you can get on candy after the big holidays, and I was excited to find a half-off sale at a local store.
I felt sure that even my wife, who is an expert bargain-shopper, would be impressed by this deal – A large bag of something called Jet-Puffed Holiday Mallows for only 62 cents.
“That’s not candy” was not exactly the reaction I was expecting. Apparently not everyone thinks marshmallows should really count as candy. However, judging from the rate with which these have disappeared, I’d say she likes to eat them even if she doesn’t think they are candy.
The marshmallows come in two colors and shapes, green trees and pink stars. The two colors taste identical, as far as I can tell.
The taste is just general sweet, as you would expect form a marshmallow. But they are strangely addictive, and because they are so soft and fast to eat you can easily eat dozens of them before you even realize what you’ve done. Just remember, only eat one at a time - The bag comes with dire warnings:
“CHOKING WARNING Eat one at a time. Children should always be seated and supervised while eating.”
