Squish Marshmallows in New York City is putting a creative spin on a classic summer treat with its marshmallow cones.
As much as ice cream cones can be enjoyable and refreshing on a hot summer day, they also have the potential to melt quickly and become incredibly messy to eat. Squish Marshmallows serves a non-melting "ice cream cone" alternative that features small-batch marshmallows that have been molded to resemble a generous ice cream scoop. Due to the unique form of these treats, they have the potential to be stuffed with other decadent ingredient additions, as well as touched by vibrant colors and even torched to create a rich, caramelized flavor.
Aside from offering a unique flavor experience with varieties like Cereal Milk, Fruity Pebbles and Cookie Monster, Squish Marshmallows also succeeded in creating a highly photogenic treat that won't melt before one can snap the perfect shot to share on social media.
