The strawberry flavored marshmallows are wonderful too! Several years ago our grocery store also carried orange flavored marshmallows and I bet they would be good too, but I haven’s seen them on the shelf for a couple years. My boys have always loved to help me make bonbons and cake pops. Now that they are both teenagers, they like to get “fancy” with their dipping using both white and chocolate, different sprinkles, and toppings. It’s fun to watch them still enjoy creating in the kitchen
If you have the time, you can do something really special (and inexpensive) and make your own marshmallows and cover them in chocolate. The recipe calls for gelatin, sugar, corn syrup and vanilla extract. My husband has been making these the past few Christmases with rave reviews. My daughter helps him coat them in chocolate and then dips them in nonpareil sprinkles.
These are fantastic! Followed recipe and chilled for a day. Wonderful! Shared with a friend who immediately called and asked for recipe.
