I bought these last time and hosted a neighborhood marshmallow roast. Absolute hit amongst the kids and the chocolate melts nicely for perfect s’mores.
They’re sickeningly sweet when raw, but work well on s’mores.
I have tried these in a sane way by buying one regular size bag. We were at a friend’s camp site and they had just had all the family kids out to roast hot dogs and marshmallows and whatever else you can put on a stick and hold over a fire. They told us how the kids loved them.
Later I saw them at the grocery store. A regular bag (8 or 10 ounce, maybe?) was almost $5. That was enough of these for us. But if you’re going to eat over a hundred of these, this is a good deal.
They are filled with a much drier version of chocolate. Which is probably a scientific miracle. If you had a chunk of Hershey’s in the middle of the mallow, once the roasting starts that chocolate would go all lava and either drip out of the marshmallow when you get it roasted just right, or fling out napalm-style and burn the guy playing guitar for the Kumbaya chorus when you perform the obligatory marshmallow roasting tribute to Icarus and set the sugar aflame.
That also means if you just pop one in your mouth from the bag, it’s like taking a hit of Walter White level uncut pure concentrated milk chocolate wrapped in a sugar puff. It’s a bit much. When it comes to creating a feature that enforces required heating of a marshmallow, your scientists were too worried about whether they could to think about whether they should. I believe these marshmallows are subsidized by Big Firewood in order to push more campfires.
Got kids or have big parties? Got fire? Gonna roast em all? This is a sweet deal. If you’re not a serious mallow and chocolate fan, though, this is a LOT of kind of weird marshmallows.
@djslack you started out with a helpful story, but then you transitioned into some kind of creative writing contest entry. You don’t always have to use all the words.
Finally somehow post something I actually want but can’t have as it’s it in my diet plan and I didn’t loose 80 pounds in 8 months and get rid of diabetes just for meh to come along and dangle these in my face.
Came to say what some others have already said. These really are not good for eating out of the bag, but they are great for roasting and toasting. The other thing they are good for is melting into milk to create a pretty good hot chocolate. Two to three depending on your mug size/milk quantity, get the milk piping hot and stir until melted.
@blaineg@werehatrack I’ve had good chocolate, but it’s never been exciting. Also, good milk chocolate can be delicious. I imagine that’s why so many people enjoy it.
I bought these last round. If you are into a big glob of stuck-together, chocolate-filled marshmallows…get these. You will not be disappointed. If you want actual marshmallows with chocolate stuffing…go to your local store because that is NOT what you get with these! meh thumbs big-time down on this one!!
@WilhelmScreamer Agreed, they somehow managed to make them sweeter than just a plain marshmallow.
If they had a contrasting smooth dark chocolate inside instead of a weird dry and clumpy sweet paste, these would be pretty good. (And probably not on meh.)
I’ve had both both this brand’s s’mores flavor and their birthday cake flavor, and both were/are incredibly disappointing. Both bags are still in my cupboard.
Bought these last time and they were clearly left in the heat all melted together into some kind of abominable chocolate infused marshmallow monster. Straight into the trash.
@whiskeyext Tradition! They didn’t have bricked candy corn, so they’re shipping these instead…
I guess we will go back to asking what percentage of any candy-like packages’ contents have been bonded into a single giant mass, and whether suitable implements of disassembly will be included. (For the candy corn, that was a crappy hammer.)
@klynb Stuff with 50% sugar content doesn’t really “expire.” These things will probably outlive you, and will definitely outlive anyone who consumes them.
That said, if I could get, say, 3 bags instead of 6, I’d give them a shot.
I’m being redundant, BUT, marshmallows were dried out on the outside, PLUS, STUCK TOGETHER… found NO EXPIRATION dates, Nor BEST BY dates. I DO KNOW, they weren’t My BEST BUY…
Last time it was 8 bags for $24 ($3/bag). Now it’s 6 bags for $17.99 ($2.99833333/bag). That’s a savings of over $0.0016 per bag! Stock up now folks!
@awk BY GRABTHAR’S HAMMER WHAT A SAVINGS
@awk !
@awk @BuddTX Too soon. Poor Quellek…
Uh Oh, look what you REALLY bought!
@danexton Maybe we can get snapster to generate one walking away, and using one these “marshmallows” as his butt hole.

@goffstock Thanks, I was worried about all the talk about how over-sweet they are.

@warpedrotors you didn’t know about the creative writing contest? The words are free flowing first thing in the morning, what can I say?
@djslack @warpedrotors
Then why are they there?
@djslack you popping chocolate-filled marshmallows in your morning coffee?
@blaineg @djslack two reasons: 1- So books have something to put inside, and B - Yes?
@warpedrotors that’s not a terrible idea to try now that you mention it.
Not a good enough idea to buy six bags of them, though.
@djslack @warpedrotors Hmmmmm…… popping these in coffee…. I think you got an idea there!
My doctor said I was “border diabetic “. Lol!! I’LL SHOW HIM!!!
@bugger Mightas well go full blown diabetic or go home is what I’ve always said
this is why cannabis is legal in 22 states.
@alacrity But the other 28 must have been where they were trying to sell them.
Finally somehow post something I actually want but can’t have as it’s it in my diet plan and I didn’t loose 80 pounds in 8 months and get rid of diabetes just for meh to come along and dangle these in my face.
As Stephanie Tanner would say…

@ThyProphet Were you fishing for congratulations there?
@ThyProphet
Just kidding - that’s awesome, congrats.
DIPLOMAT! RAT-A-TAT! FAT CAT! AWESOME!

@yakkoTDI one of my favorites!

@erthian yes.
@erthian love the cat giphy but how that ended up from the phrase is a giphy fail for sure.

Part! Hey kid, do you have diabetes?
No?
Do you want to?
@EvilSmoo
Still meh. Milk chocolate is boring.
@werehatrack if you get excited over any particular type of chocolate, I’m concerned for you
@warpedrotors @werehatrack I’m concerned you’ve never had good chocolate.
@blaineg @werehatrack I’ve had good chocolate, but it’s never been exciting. Also, good milk chocolate can be delicious. I imagine that’s why so many people enjoy it.
We tried these. 0 out of 5 thought they were good.
Hi Sugar!!!
@hchavers, you mean something made out of pure sugar is high sugar? No fucking way!
@DavidChurchRN @hchavers i believe he was greeting the sugar.
Man, I think they’re great and they’re amazing roasted
I just bought these 2 days ago on sidedeal. Dont I feel like chump

It’s been less than a week!
these things are sickeningly sweet, I felt ill after biting into 1.
@WilhelmScreamer Agreed, they somehow managed to make them sweeter than just a plain marshmallow.

@WilhelmScreamer You’re suppose to roast them to melt the raw unmelted chocolate inside, They’re not meant to be eaten “raw”
@ThyProphet @WilhelmScreamer nobody has time for that shit
Meh, it hasn’t even been a year since you sold me the last marshmallows with chocolate! You think I’ve finished them already?
It’s Stay Puff Marshmallow Man
@Larry1977 Stay-Puft.
Bought these last time and they were terrible. Everyone tried and hated them and we did not even use up the first bag. Ended up tossing them.
YES. More sugar! More salt! Metabolic Syndrome, here we come!!
Baught these last go around. Yes they were stuck together, but my bags weren’t so stuck together I/my kids couldn’t pull one off.
They taste just fine and are definitely filled with some sort of black magic chocolate as it doesn’t run when you poke them and roast them.
The marshmallow part also seems to be a little different as they don’t roast quite like standard Stay-puffs.
/giphy marshmallow-monster
I love these.
But I’m changing my eating habits in the next few weeks.
Also why a 90 day warranty?
I’ve had both both this brand’s s’mores flavor and their birthday cake flavor, and both were/are incredibly disappointing. Both bags are still in my cupboard.

Love to have one of these for a late night snack right out of the bag. Six bags are still too many but…
/giphy plagued-polluted-werewolf
These are a huge hit and actually are pretty good. Probably won’t use them until it gets warm again though - any idea on an expiration date?
@cbrass99 Best by Date: 12/31/2022 - 03/31/2023

@werehatrack chocolate stuffed marshmallows with the jaws of life
These, like other marshmallows, do NOT freeze well; the marshmallows dry out and become powdery. Only buy what you can eat before expiration.
@klynb Stuff with 50% sugar content doesn’t really “expire.” These things will probably outlive you, and will definitely outlive anyone who consumes them.
That said, if I could get, say, 3 bags instead of 6, I’d give them a shot.
@klynb i freeze almost all of my marshmallows. They’re fine. (I had a cat who would eat the whole bag every time he found them)
The chocolate in these does freeze poorly though.
@klynb @ShotgunX like casemates, but for marshmallows?
If the graham crackers were included, I’d bite.
I would buy these if they were $18 even.
taking a lot for shipping… right?
@alfredochavez what do you mean?
I’m being redundant, BUT, marshmallows were dried out on the outside, PLUS, STUCK TOGETHER… found NO EXPIRATION dates, Nor BEST BY dates. I DO KNOW, they weren’t My BEST BUY…
@mammy87 Besides Best Buy doesn’t sell them anyway.
