marshmallow

Marshmallows are soft, light confections made primarily from sugar, water, and gelatin, whipped to create a fluffy, slightly chewy texture. They have a mild, sweet flavor and are eaten as sweets or used as an ingredient in desserts, hot drinks, baked goods, and candies. When heated, marshmallows soften and melt, making them popular for roasting, s’mores, and dessert toppings.
