XO Marshmallow is putting a fresh new spin on cake truffles with its new Peppermint Fluffle, a minty and festive holiday treat. A Fluffle is a cake truffle that trades out the traditional buttercream layer for chocolate-dipped marshmallow. The Peppermint Fluffle is made with minty white cake, candy cane swirls, pink marshmallow frosting and a white chocolate coating.
Available for the 2021 holiday season, this marshmallow treat from the Chicago-based marshmallow cafe is free from nuts and gluten. XO Marshmallow is also introducing Fluffles in a Cookie Coal flavor with triple chocolate.
These sweet and nostalgic marshmallow treats are ready to be gifted this holiday season, especially since they set themselves apart from classic marshmallows, chocolates and truffles.
