Kraft just can't stop, offering StawberryMallows for Valentine's Day:
They still have the choking warning on the bag, thank God. I almost killed myself with these.
These are pretty much the standard marshmallow with a vague hint of strawberry. ZZZZZZThey might be okay in hot chocolate or a S'more for something different.
Of course, in my book, Just Born is the King of Marshmallow. And they've pulled all the stops out for Valentine's Day:
The chocolate mousse bears were new last year. They are really good - for marshmallow that is. Way better (and way cheaper) than those Williams- Sonoma marshmallows. and so cute!!! These are chocolate through and through as you can see in the pic below.
These are different - they are strawberry creme flavored:
And let me tell you, these have some SERIOUS strawberry flavor. they are WAY better than the Kraft marshmallows - they are really soft and, well surprisingly good. And you have to love the cute red hearts.
Both of these are just regular marshmallow flavor:
Like the I heart U - very creative! And look at the close uu - its sugar is glittery!!!
Very festive!!!
Here are the autopsy photos:
You can see the strawberry in the smaller red heart.
And there's the cocoa in the bear. Even if you hate Peeps, they are some of the most festive candies out there. And they are low in fat and calories!
This is a whipped creme cherry heart by Georgia Nut Company:
At least this one looks like a heart.. Georgia Nut is notorius for blobs. The cherry flavor is there but fairly subtle. These are soooo rich because of the creme filling, but because it's creme, it's better than marshmallow. I've said it before - it's like Fluff. For some reason I like these. You'll only want one - too rich, but for only 140 calories it tastes pretty darn good!
I can't explain it - it's good!
These surprised me and I have no explanation for it. I tried them at Christmas - they were red and green - and didn't like them:
The marshmallow disappoints me more than it delights me, but as long as there are Peeps in the world, it will always make me smile. And I do believe the world would be a lesser place without the marshmallow. It doesn't have a lot of taste, but often marshmallow is the glue that holds the rest of the confection together.
Hey, everybody can't be chocolate.
Very festive!!!

These I liked! It makes no sense unless they have somehow changed the ingredients. Maybe the green in the crisped rice freaked me out. Maybe I am insane. I dunno. But these were pretty good. Are they the greatest thing ever? Oh hell, no! But if you want a Valentine's Day rice krispy treat - this is for you!
