What's It About?

Most people have fond memories of childhood, sat by a roaring campfire toasting marshmallows on wooden sticks… Yum! Toasted Marshmallow Day is a chance to re-live those memories, and for people who’ve never experienced toasting marshmallows to find out what all the fuss is about.

Editor's Comments

Marshmallow is commonly mis-spelled as 'Marshmellow' - our research suggests that this is indeed incorrect, as early marshmallow was made from the root extract of 'mallow' plants cooked with egg white and sugar, whipped and shaped and left to harden into round medicinal candy to soothe children's sore throats (now a days we use gelatine, as it's easier to obtain, or agar for vegetarian marshmallows).
