Spicy flavors

Oonagh Simms, founder, The Marshmallowist, said the flavors support a growing trend of natural ingredients and spicy flavours as reported by ConfectioneryNews State of the Industry​ report.

The range is complimented by gold embossed gift boxes which contains six marshmallows.

Simms said she was the first company to launch a gourmet marshmallow brand in the UK and wants to remain true to that through its creativity. ​

“I want the brand to be synonymous with progressiveness and I love how that’s reflected in the packaging and flavors,” ​she said.​

The Marshmallowist is also launching a ‘revolving range’ each season with playful, bespoke flavors for the first time.

Limited edition combinations include; Tequila Lime & Chilli, Scorched Peach & Star Anise and Earl Grey & Butterfly Pea. As well as John Lewis, the products are available to buy in Harrod’s and Selfridges in London.

4 month shelf life

The sweets have a shelf life of four months and will be sold in a pack of six on a presentation tray.

The Marshmallowist was created by Simms in 2011, after training as a chocolatier in Paris.

She incorporated artisanal French methods with classic confectionery to create handmade experimental flavors to make soufflé marshmallows from fresh market fruits, organic herbs and boutique alcohol.
