As an alternative to producing large quantities of plain marshmallows at a single time, Little Boo Boo Bakery specializes in the creation of gourmet small-batch marshmallows. Its reinterpretation of the classic campfire snack introduces all-new confections that boast rich flavors like Chocolate Mint, Matcha Green Tea and Earl Grey, all of which are packaged in standing pouches with a see-through slit.
Although the all-natural marshmallows boast simple, quality ingredient lists, the gourmet treats are priced to be affordable and enjoyed by all.
The unique qualities of Little Boo Boo Bakery's marshmallows challenges consumers to see the treats as more than just an addition to baked goods and hot drinks, and instead enjoy them as snacks that can stand on their own.
