Best Easter Basket and Mother's Day Treat -- Plush Puffs Gourmet Marshmallows.



This weekend is Easter. May 11 is Mother's Day. This is the perfect gift for an adult (or your Mom, or Grandma, or anyone else....)
I've written about Plush Puffs before, and I'm totally addicted to their lovely flavors. And I'm about to get some more for my own Easter Basket.
From their wonderful PR team, the info:
What is it? Plush Puffs Gourmet Marshmallows are handmade, all natural, low-fat intensely flavored marshmallows! Many varieties are gluten free and have no high-fructose corn syrup. Light, fluffy, billowy puffs of sticky, gooey goodness, these gourmet marshmallows are made the old fashioned way – handmade in a two day process of whipping to a heavenly lightness, and flavored with the absolute highest quality all-natural ingredients. From whipping at a precise time and temperature to cutting them by hand, there are no short cuts taken to make these gourmet Puffs.
Plush Puffs are good enough to eat straight out of the package, and even more delicious when melted in hot drinks. That’s why they created the MugToppers. Cut and sized just right to float atop a cup of hot cocoa, coffee or tea, the MugToppers are beautifully packaged and come in four flavors: Vanilla Bean, Peppi-Mint, Mochaccino and Sydney’s Cinnamon.
From ice cream toppings to tasty rice crispy treats, marshmallows aren’t just for S’mores and hot cocoa any more! You’ll find delicious recipe ideas on the Plush Puffs blog including Caramel Scotcharoos, Marshmallow Nachos, and Apple Cinnamon Brule!
Delight your senses with these luscious Plush Puffs flavors:
  • Vanilla Bean – Don’t mistake these for your ordinary “plain” marshmallows. These Puffs are bursting with richly-flavored vanilla beans.  This “Cadilac Marshmallow” is a classic for toasting and simply divine when melted into coffee or hot chocolate or simply eaten right out of the bag. These marshmallows are gluten free, fat free and contain no high fructose corn syrup.
  • Simply S’mores – No need to race around looking for the graham crackers and chocolate anymore! Plush Puffs’ Vanilla Bean marshmallows are then mixed with all-natural graham cracker pieces, dusted with light cocoa powder and then topped with chocolate chips. These puffs are naturally low in fat and have no high fructose corn syrup.
  • Luscious Lemony Meringue – These all-natural lemony treats have the perfect amount of tartness. Fat free, gluten free and containing no high fructose corn syrup, these Puffs are delicious dipped into a hot cup of tea.
  • Chocolate Chipetta – These marshmallows start with an intense cocoa flavor and are then topped with micro-mini chocolate chips for that heavenly yet unexpected crunch. These puffs are fat free, gluten free, and contain no high fructose corn syrup.
  • Caramel Swirl – Plush Puffs’ classic Vanilla Bean marshmallow is topped with creamy bands of rich caramel. This marshmallow is sublime when roasted, dipped into a delicious dark chocolate fondue, and perfect in a steaming cup of cappuccino. These puffs are gluten free, low fat and 100% natural.
  • Peppi-Mint – These minty, refreshing Plush Puffs are bursting with natural peppermint flavor and are a perfect way to spice up an ordinary cup of hot cocoa or coffee into a special treat!  These Puffs are fat-free, gluten free and contain no high fructose corn syrup.
  • Toasted Coconut – Made from all-natural ingredients and topped with a generous coating of fresh coconut, these Puffs are simply delicious roasted and wrapped around a bar of exquisite dark chocolate. These contain no high fructose corn syrup. (This flavor is only available in bulk sheets). 
  • Sydney’s Cinnamon – Whipped with the highest quality ground cinnamon and almond extract, the aromatic smell and flavor of these marshmallows being toasted is exceedingly pleasing! These Puffs are low in fat and gluten free. (This flavor is only available in bulk sheets.)
  • Mochacinno – A tasty treat, the flavors of chocolate and cappuccino mixed in our light & fluffy marshmallow are delicious on their own or in a warm cup of coffee!
  • Pumpkin Pie – A seasonal flavor perfect for Fall, these babies are like soft luscious bites of a homemade pumpkin pie. Float one on a creamy latte, toast over some yams or come up with your own Pumpkin Plush Puffs recipe! And like all Plush Puffs, they’re equally yummy right our of the package.
  • Gingerbread Spice – A seasonal holiday flavor, our Gingerbread Spice Plush Puffs Gourmet Marshmallows come out just in time for hot cocoa and cozy morning mugs of coffee. They taste like the holidays epitomized. When toasted up, the nutmeg stands out and the real, all-natural ginger warms your soul.

Now, with two-day shipping you can order today (or tomorrow) and have it shipped to you.  Go to www.plushpuffs.com to order.  In Georgia, you can buy them at Taste at Phipps Plaza, or go to  http://www.plushpuffs.com/pages/where-to-buy 

Happy munching.  Buy a LOT.  They're good.  My favorite is the lemon -- Top a lemon pie, without the meringue, with those lemony luscious pieces.

Much love,
Ging
