The World’s Best Candy Bars? English, of Course

[derekkj 0]

Basically the same thing as a Mallomar, but with a bit more marshmallow:

Don't know if they are available in Canada, but I remember seeing something similar being made on "How its Made" that was Canadian and had a different brand name.

Oooooh, yum! I believe the Canadian version is called a Whippet. I'll have to look for them the next time we are in Canada and do a taste comparison. BTW, I just learned, somewhat to my dismay, that Mallomars themselves are now made in Toronto. Something just not quite right about that!

I wonder if they're kosher. Marshmallows usually aren't. It's not like I'm Jewish; I just don't dig on gelatin.

Good question. You would think given the Mallomar demographic that they should be, but you are right - marshmellows are not usually kosher. I asked a few of my Jewish Mallomar eating friends, but no seemed to know. Or care for that matter!

In addition to Mallomars being made in Toronto, I also learned that there is a Israeli version called the Krembo, so perhaps that's the kosher alternative.

I think I have spent waaaaay to much work time on the history and development of the Mallomar.

Yep that's right, Whippet. That's what they were making on "How its Made".
