Marshmallows; fluffy white clouds of sugary indulgence. No summer campfire is quite right unless there’s a stick of these beauties toasting away; and when winter rolls in, your hot chocolate just isn’t complete without them. Here at MGV we’re a sucker for the sweet stuff, so we searched high and low to see what else we can do with these squishy little treats.
Here are 21 awesome makes with marshmallows for you to try at home.
