PRODUCT: Gourmet Marshmallows
People in Vancouver are lucky; they can drive down to Butter Baked Goods and pick up their handmade marshmallows. While the store does not have online sales, we had the pleasure of tasting the marshmallows at a trade show earlier this year, and recently came across the marshmallows at Dean and DeLuca.
Of course we bought them, and they were just as good as we remembered—airy, delicate and beautifully flavored. You can send them as a Thanksgiving or holiday gift via DeanandDeluca.com: three gift-boxed bags in Pumpkin Spice, Toasted Coconut and Vanilla are $28.00. (When you get to the site, search for “marshmallows.”) Gourmet marshmallows are one of our favorite sweet treats: made from egg whites, sugar, gelatin and flavoring, there’s no fat or cholesterol,* and one large marshmallow is very satisfying. You can put them in hot chocolate, craft gourmet s’mores and use them as accents with other desserts.
