Flavors like passion fruit and ginger or black currant and mint sound suitable for a sunny summer day, so why not infuse these summery combinations into a sweet snack? The Marshmallowists shared marshmallow recipes for cool season-appropriate flavors.
These marshmallows aren’t bite-sized: they’re an inch high and last four to five bites. But because they are made of fresh fruit oils, they are worth less calories than a cupcake. Instead of sugary and heavy icing, fruit-flavored marshmallows have a clean and natural taste.
Other fun flavors include mango and sweet orange, pear and elderflower and raspberry and champagne. These customized snacks would be great for parties or a girls night in. Who knew marshmallows could appear so dainty?
