What it is
Tiny pink and white heart shaped marshmallows, soft and light, sold loose. Used as much for topping drinks and cakes as for eating on their own.
Taste
Where it comes from
Mini marshmallows are an American idea from the mid twentieth century, created for baking and for topping hot drinks rather than as a sweet in themselves. The heart shape is a British and European refinement, aimed at gifting and at Valentine's.
What it's made of
Sugar and glucose fructose syrup whipped with pork gelatine, deposited into small heart moulds and dusted with corn starch to stop them fusing.
