This week I have been absolutely loving these jumbo, gourmet, hand-made marshmallows that I was sent to try by Fluffy Puff Puffs. Fluffy Puff Puffs create the most amazing looking marshmallows with insanely mouth-watering flavours and I got to try their Vanilla Bean, Strawberry Burst and Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Drizzle marshmallows.
I’ve never tried hand-made or gourmet marshmallows before, my marshmallow experience is limited to those pink and white things you can get in the supermarkets. Fluffy Puff Puffs marshmallows are nothing like those, for a start look at the size of them. They are almost a handful each! It takes a good four bites to eat one of these bad boys.
Other than the immense size, one of the first things I noticed is that they feel really good. I know that seems like an odd thing to say but they are soft yet firm, fluffy yet dense, all at once. When my fiancé had a look even he said “ooh, these feel really nice,” so it isn’t just me being weird!
The Vanilla Bean marshmallows are made with hand-scraped Indian vanilla beans to give them a lovely, authentic flavour. You can see the tiny little vanilla beans running through the marshmallows. For me these are the classic marshmallow taste, these are the ones to enjoy with a big mug of hot chocolate.
The Strawberry Burst marshmallows are made with real strawberries which have been dried out in an oven for three hours. I think it looks like there is a little strawberry kiss on my marshmallow! That would be totally apt as all Fluffy Puff Puffs marshmallows have been lovingly hand-made. This marshmallow had such a sweet, juicy taste. Totally scrummy!
The Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Drizzle marshmallows are the ones that you’d want to bring out when you’ve got your friends over as they look so good. The topping is made with Belgian dark chocolate mixed with roasted peanut butter and skilfully drizzled over Vanilla Bean marshmallows. My fiancé had this one all to himself; he said the peanut butter taste really comes through, so peanut lovers will adore these.
I think these marshmallows would be perfect for gifts, hampers or for occasions like baby showers and birthday parties. They’re so unique and make a cute change from the cupcake/macaroon trend. Of course you could just buy them for yourself!
Disclosure: I was sent Fluffy Puff Puffs marshmallows for review purposes, however all thoughts and opinion remain my own.
