Another tasty treat from the folks at The Sweet Shoppe, caramel covered marshmallows on a stick.
Just a few days prior to seeing these at the fair, John and I were at a Wal-Mart in Kentucky. We don’t usually shop at Wal-Mart but had heard that their stores in Kentucky were carrying gluten-free Bisquick. I really wanted to buy some, so we went to Wal-Mart late at night and found not only the Bisquick, but marshmallows the size of your fist. There was also some great people-watching at that store but about the marshmallows…
The grocery store usually has two sizes of marshmallows, the small standard size and the giant size. Sometimes I spot the giant size with toasted coconut on them. But the ones I saw at Wal-Mart were about five times the size of the typical giant size marshmallow–just ENORMOUS, like the size of an apple! And then I saw them at the Kentucky State Fair dipped in caramel. Oh my…
This Food on a Stick didn’t qualify as vegetarian (I don’t eat marshmallows because of the gelatin used in them) so Mark agreed to taste this one. I have to say it looked very tasty, the caramel was gooey and the marshmallows were soft and squooshy. For a moment I thought about putting my ethical eating standards on hold just so I could taste this!
*I did not pay for the caramel marshmallows on a stick. The Sweet Shopped provided this at no charge, however the opinions expressed are my own.
