Peeps Marshmallow Stockings (Candy Mail) By @Cinabar

I love hot chocolate, and I love marshmallows, specifically for dipping in or topping hot chocolate. Marshmallows in the UK aren’t exciting. It is easy enough to get pink and white ones, and maybe some twists, but anything more than that, and you have to look to the import shops. One of America’s biggest companies for marshmallows is Peeps; they make chicks and all sorts of shapes, so for Christmas hot chocolate, I bought these Peeps Marshmallow Stockings.

There isn’t a flavour to the marshmallows; they are vanilla, but they are fabulously shaped like red stockings.

I opened up the box, and I have to admit the decoration on these was a little minimalist. The white fur of the red stocking was actually just a very faint line, rather than anything more impressive. The picture on the packet showed quite a bit of white fur in the illustration.

I dunked them in hot chocolate, and the flavour was lovely; these Peeps Marshmallow Stockings are a sugary delight. They're soft, but a little crispy around the edges, and wonderfully fluffy on the inside. These did make a good seasonal hot chocolate extra and are still my go-to for marshmallows. I would have liked a little more design detail, but by the time it's been dunked in hot chocolate, all that matters is that they're yummy and tasty, which they are.
