Whenever we go camping or trips to a lake house, s’mores are usually on the menu. We normally get bagged marshmallows at the grocery, which I’ll admit, I’m not a fan of them because they taste artificial. But I do like gourmet marshmallows because they’re airy and have slight hints of flavor. Last year I’ve tried homemade Hot Toddy marshmallows which were amazing! This year I’ve been introduced to Plush Puffs.
Plush Puffs is a new brand of artisan marshmallows made with all natural ingredients. Yup, no high-fructose corn syrup. They’re soft and taste great alone, or in a s’more or fondue. Plush Puffs comes in a dozen flavors. We tried four: Caramel Swirl, Toasty Coconut, Lemon Meringue, and Mochaccino. The best flavor was a tie between Caramel Swirl and Mochaccino. Caramel Swirl was a bit on the sweet side, but if you’re a fan of caramel, this flavor is for you. Mochacinno was a perfect balance of chocolate and espresso. They taste great alone, or in a s’more giving it a nice twist. Once you try these marshmallows, there’s no going back to the barrel-shaped classics.
More about Plush Puffs.
Priced between $5.99 and $7.49, a 4 oz package of Plush Puffs contains about 16-18 pieces of 1″ cube marshmallows. They don’t come in resealable bags, so you’ll need to devour them quickly, or store them in a Ziploc bag. I’ve actually folded up the bag and stored them in our cupboard for a couple days, and the marshmallows were still soft.
Plush Puffs can be purchased online at plushpuffs.com and at select gourmet groceries.
