<p>Technically, marshmallows are a confection-a candy. &nbsp;They originated in ancient Egypt.</p>
<p>They have been around in their modern form since the mid 1800's. &nbsp;This confection is called a 'marshmallow' because part of the original recipe called for sap from the root of the marshmallow plant. &nbsp;Today, gelatin replaces the sap to create the fluffy marshmallow we have come to love for more than 150 years! &nbsp;</p>
<p>Marshmallows are enjoyed in many ways: in&nbsp;desserts, around camp fires and in hot drinks to name only a few.</p>
<p><strong>THANK YOU CHOCOLATES</strong> is proud to offer a variety of marshmallow treats. &nbsp;They make a perfect addition to any special occasion! &nbsp;Choose from chocolate dipped marshmallows to colourful sugar dipped marshmallows! &nbsp;</p>
