In celebration of Canada's 150's birthday this year, President's Choice launched special-edition maple-flavored marshmallows for toasting by the campfire.
The large-size PC Maple Flavour Marshmallows promise to "revolutionize your s'mores" with their unique maple aroma, as well as their slightly flattened shape, which is ideal for sandwiching between graham crackers. Although these maple-flavored marshmallow treats are being put forth as confections that are ideal for elevating favorite campfire rituals, they may also be used in a range of recipes like desserts and crispy rice square snacks.
For Canada 150, Canadian food and beverage brands are embracing the opportunity to highlight maple as an iconic Canadian flavor. The PC Insiders Collection also features a number of patriotic treats, including Maple Fudge, Loads of Canadiana Beef Burgers and S'mores Ice Cream Sandwiches.
