FOOD FUN: Stuffed Puffs Chocolate-Stuffed Marshmallows
|
How do you make a big, fluffy marshmallow even better? Stuff it with chocolate. S’mores around the campfire is been a yummy tradition: a stick, a fire, two toasted marshmallows, a square of chocolate and two graham crackers turn into a delicious chocolate marshmallow sandwich. While there have been numerous creative uses of s’mores (see our recipe list), as well as flavored marshmallows and chocolate-covered marshmallows, there’s now a true innovation: Stuffed Puffs. These marshmallows filled with soft chocolate (photo #3) are a game-changer, both in the marshmallow category and for making S’mores. Stuffed Puffs were created by Michael Tierney. What seems like an obvious idea, he says, was actually born around a campfire. While it may seem like a simple idea, it’s very hard to execute—which is why it hasn’t been done before. It took Tierney seven years to work out the details. Now that chocolate-filled marshmallows are a reality, S’mores lovers no longer have to juggle marshmallows, chocolate bars and graham crackers over the heat—be it a campfire, fireplace, grill or gas stove. Stuffed Puffs also solve the problem that marshmallows often do not get hot enough to melt the chocolate. With the chocolate inside the marshmallow, Stuffed Puffs has ingeniously solved the problem: The chocolate melts while the marshmallow toasts. It’s fail-safe. Stuffed Puffs are a great gift for Halloween and Christmas…but they’re also a treat that requires no holiday. Whether toasted or out of the bag, just enjoy them! |
