The is the season for toasted marshmallows out by the barbecue. This treat can be tasty yet there are ways of elevating it to a truly gourmet level. That comes in the form of Plush Puffs , flavored artesanal marshmallows. They can make any backyard or even campfire dessert special and flavorful.
Plush Puffs is a Burbank California based company started by Ann Hickey-Williams and Justin Leavens who acted as the company's guinea pig tasting all the different flavors. Ms. Hickey -Williams actually started in the health field and switched to candy making. She has filled an artesanal niche , creating all sorts of interesting flavors. This is not your folks Jet Puffs. These are small fluffy squares, similar to what you;d see in Europe. There are all sorts of diverse flavors , from mint to coconut to vanilla. Unusual flavors like maple bacon and pumpkin pie. There is even the ironic s'mores flavor, Plush Puffs also offers two pound marshmallows in flaovrs such as CHocolate Chippetta, Peppi Mint and S'Mores/ Imagine these toasted or better yet , split apart for guest and toasted.
The flavors are sublime and different. Some taste better toasted while others are just good as they are.The maple bacon is better toasted and is a great end to any meat lover's barbecue. It also holds up well to serious burning. I like the lemon which has a flavor reminiscent of lemon meringue pie. The coconut is good too as is. It's a bit intense when it's toasted and melts right off the stick. It would be good melting in a cup of hot Dutch cocoa as well. I would love to try the mint and the cinnamon, the last perfect in a cup of hot late or cappuccino.
Plush Puffs are a great end to any summer barbecue or just as a snack. Order these artesanal gem. These are the marshmallow that summer memories are made from.
