NATIONAL TOASTED MARSHMALLOW DAY
National Toasted Marshmallow Day is celebrated on August 30th and is sponsored by the National Confectioners Association. It's a day to celebrate the simple pleasures of life and the joy that marshmallows bring to people. Toasted marshmallows are a quintessential fireside treat that are especially popular on summer evenings around a bonfire.
Believe it or not, marshmallows date back to Ancient Egypt. The mallow plant provided a sap the Egyptians used to create a candy with nuts and honey.
Ligonier, Indiana holds an annual Marshmallow Festival. It is also the marshmallow capital of the world. How sweet is that?
Homemade marshmallows use sugar, unflavored gelatin, corn syrup, and flavoring.
Marshmallow is a type of sugar candy. It originally was a medical confection to treat angina, made from Althaea officinalis, the marshmallow plant.
