Plush Puffs Gourmet Marshmallows

Specialties

We offer the highest quality, all natural, intensely flavored marshmallows ever. This is a marshmallow that is not only good enough to eat on its own, but amazing when melted in hot drinks, used in any number of recipes and/​or roasting applications. Each flavor is actually intensified when it is roasted. Quite simply: we want to provide a product that delights the senses.

To be truly artisan, we have had to be quite creative about the process of getting these gourmet confections right. Downright innovative sometimes. But what makes our marshmallows so special is how they taste. Even after all these years of making marshmallows, we still love to eat Plush Puffs ourselves and share them with our friends and family because we think they just taste so darn good. We’ve tried all the other marshmallows out there — and there are some good ones. But we consistently come away feeling confident that ours are best gourmet marshmallow product available. We think you’ll agree.

History

Established in 2004.

The Plush Puffs Story

Once upon a time (Halloween time that is) a young boy asked «hey Mom, let’s make pumpkin marshmallows today.» Mom said, «hmmm, that sounds interesting, let’s give it a go.» Well, that Mom called another Mom (who both coincidentally already worked as chefs together) and they went to it. After many painstaking hours in the test kitchen and many «almost batches,» Plush Puffs were born! Much to our delight, a whole bunch of other flavors turned out beautifully, and finally a limited edition flavor we added last fall Pumpkin Praline. From the first hit, Toasted Coconut to the Chocolate Chipetta, they have all been a labor of love. In fact, it is still hard to resist more than one taste test when the batches are being made.

Meet the Business Owner

Ann H.

Business Owner

Marshmallows is a second career. Many may relate that the first (health educator at USC) was abbreviated by a 2^nd child. Then, I was a personal chef and caterer specializing in healthy gourmet. I have a master’s degree and completed culinary school. Finally, Plush Puffs was created.

A lot of people express to me, «YOU MUST BE NUTS to take this on.» I explain «It may take a village to raise a child, but it takes a village idiot to do that and start a company.»

But the insanity is really about the passion for a unique product, for running a sound business, for the future of my family as both a business owner and a role model. In addition to the «certifiable» leader, there has been a small army of committed friends and family that have not only supported the business, but have eaten many, many sample marshmallows. Through all of the ups and downs and high and lows, it has always come down to the same question: «How do we get the world to try these fantastic marshmallows?»
