Classic Vanilla Bean Marshmallows
Started here because I figured if a marshmallow can't nail vanilla, nothing else matters. The difference between real vanilla bean and that artificial stuff hit me on the first sip.
Toss two of these into your mug and watch them slowly melt into this creamy vanilla layer — my partner thought I added actual cream to the cocoa.
Classic Vanilla Bean Marshmallows
Grab these if you're the person who always makes cocoa for movie night. They're pillowy enough to eat straight from the bag, which I definitely did before the water even boiled.

Rich Chocolate Marshmallows
Double chocolate cocoa sounded ridiculous until I actually tried it. Chocolate marshmallow melting into chocolate cocoa creates this layered richness that regular cocoa just can't touch.
Use these when you want cocoa that tastes like a dessert, not a beverage. The bitterness from the dark chocolate balances out sweet cocoa mix perfectly.
Mint & Dark Chocolate
Pair these with a lighter milk chocolate cocoa — the contrast is what makes it work. Ate half the bag before they ever touched a mug, no regrets.
DOUBLE CHOCOLATE MARSHMALLOWS
Try dropping one into coffee if you're feeling chaotic. The cocoa dust dissolves first and creates this mocha situation I didn't plan but now can't stop making.

Salted Caramel Marshmallows
This flavor wrecked me. One mug of cocoa with a salted caramel marshmallow and I couldn't go back to plain. That sweet-salty thing hits different when it's slowly melting.
Try one in dark chocolate cocoa specifically — the salt cuts through the sweetness and suddenly you're drinking something that belongs in a café.

Fruity Marshmallow Flavors
Didn't think fruit and cocoa would work until someone handed me a raspberry marshmallow in white hot chocolate. Wrong about that one, very wrong.

Grab this first if you've never tried handmade marshmallows. Six flavors means six chances to find your favorite without committing to a full bag of something weird.

Jumbo and Toasting Marshmallows
Sometimes you want one giant marshmallow taking up half the mug. These are thick enough to toast with a kitchen torch and still hold their shape in cocoa.
Use a kitchen torch on the top before dropping it into your mug — the toasted layer melts into the cocoa and it's the closest thing to campfire cocoa indoors.

One marshmallow fills the entire mug surface. My kid calls it the marshmallow lid and honestly that's exactly what it is. Cocoa stays warmer longer too.

Pumpkin spice marshmallows in October, gingerbread in December — I started matching my marshmallows to the season and somehow that made cocoa feel like an event instead of just a drink.
Grab these in September before they sell out — dropped one into chai and it was better than any pumpkin spice latte I've ever ordered. October cocoa with these is non-negotiable.
