It’s hip to be square

These airy artisanal marshmallows are almost too good to put in hot chocolate. They are made the old-fashioned way: Ingredients are beaten into a fluffy texture, cooled, then hand-cut into generous chuncks.

The confections come in a variety of flavors: watermelon, banana, peach, strawberry, cherry. We especially like the pale-green coconut-flavored ones, topped with fresh flakes of coconut.
