NEW FLAVOUR -

As it's my last weekend before I go off for my jollies I wanted to leave everyone a little going away gift. And boy what a marshmallow this one is 🙌🥳

Introducing our:

PEACH AND MANGO PIE HANDCRAFTED MARSHMALLOW.

This one was been an obsession for a long time and it's been worth every minute as it delivers our lightest, most refreshing marshmallow yet.

If ever there was a flavour destined to be a bit speciall with marshmallow it is peach and we whip up the lightest, peach cloud before swirling it with a homemade mango syrup and covering it a blend of bruleed and dehydrated waffles. A perfect sweet treat for the summer that needs to be tasted to believed 🤯

Changing the game one Mallow at a time!

I'll be giving out lots of tasters tomorrow at

Can't wait to see what people think 😁
