Chocolate Marshmallows: A Treat Steeped in Tradition
The classic chocolate marshmallow treats, popularized in the roaring 1920s, are a delightful nod to the past, with a recipe rooted in history. Chocolate was first introduced to the European world in the 1600s, with its popularity growing quickly as it was used for everything from beverages to medicinal purposes. The turn of the century saw the rise of iconic chocolate treats, like chocolate-covered marshmallows, which became a favorite for their sweet, fluffy centers encased in rich, velvety chocolate. With roots tracing back to early chocolate enthusiasts like Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, who celebrated its health benefits, chocolate's journey through time has led to modern-day treats such as these marshmallows, and the story doesn't end here...
True Treats is the only historically accurate candy store in the world, bringing the past to life through researched sweets, teas, syrups, and more.

Leading this effort is Susan, a nationally recognized candy historian, researcher, and author who appears regularly on TV, radio, and in major publications. With over 40 years of experience, she has written ten books and founded True Treats to share the fascinating history of candy in a fun and delicious way.

Through True Treats, Susan makes history an interactive experience, allowing customers to taste the past while learning the stories behind every bite.
The chocolate covered marshmallow has a rich history that dates back to the early 20th century, with its peak popularity during the 1920s. During this time, the sweet treat became a favorite confection among candy enthusiasts, often associated with outdoor activities like camping and cookouts. The introduction of commercial brands helped in popularizing these candies, making them accessible for everyone to enjoy.
As society evolved through the decades, so did the chocolate covered marshmallow. It transitioned from a simple childhood treat to a gourmet item, often found in specialty candy shops and made with high-quality ingredients. Today, variations abound, with artisanal versions showcasing unique flavor combinations, catering to a diverse range of palates.
Health Benefits of Marshmallows
While often considered a sugary indulgence, marshmallows do offer some surprising benefits when consumed in moderation. Made primarily from sugar, water, and gelatin, they are low in fat and can provide a quick source of energy. Additionally, gelatin is known for its potential to support joint health and aid in digestion, making these fluffy treats a somewhat guilt-free addition to your diet.
However, it’s essential to balance these benefits with the awareness of their high sugar content. Enjoying chocolate covered marshmallows can serve as a delightful treat, especially when shared with friends and family, reinforcing positive social connections. As with any sweet, moderation is key to enjoying their perks without overindulging.
Chocolate Covered Marshmallows in Popular Culture
Chocolate covered marshmallows have made numerous appearances in popular culture, particularly as a nostalgic snack featured in films and television shows. Their playful nature and satisfying combination of textures have made them a favorite choice for characters seeking comfort or indulgence. This association has expanded their reach, making them not just a tasty treat, but also a symbol of joy and childhood memories.
