'Epic Mallows' is a series of pop culture marshmallows inspired by movies and television shows. From the rose petals covering up Mena Suvari's character in 'American Beauty' to a gory eyeball from 'Kill Bill' and even the dragon eggs from 'Game of Thrones,' it is interesting to see the bonfire staple be turned into something else worthy of Halloween. Just imagine giving these pop culture marshmallows out to children in place of traditional candy.
Created by Dan Bannino, a photographer based in Italy, for marshmallow printing company Boomf, the pop culture marshmallows is his personal tribute to movies and shows "that in the recent past have been consumed as sweets and have found the favor of critics and audiences," writes Bannino.
