With winter on the very near horizon, we’re seeing many, many mugs of hot chocolate in our future. Unless you’re some sort of delicious-food hater, then you probably top your warm sip with plenty of mini marshmallows. We don’t know about you, but what comes in the powdered packet is never enough, which is how we were led to this 2.5-pound container of mini marshmallows.

The giant tub of goodness comes from Candy Factory, a brand that makes candy, sweets, and other treats. It makes bags and jars of all different sizes — including 1-pound and 1.5-pound— but you know our eyes automatically went to the biggest offering. Now that you can keep a 2.5-pound option on hand, you’ll be able to serve plenty of holiday guests with as many mini marshmallows as their hearts desire.

The container is filled with dehydrated vanilla marshmallow bits and, unsurprisingly, they’re a huge hit on Amazon. From the nearly 1,000 reviews, it has earned an average of 4.7 out of 5 stars. People say that the $25.99 purchase is great, because you can pile marshmallows in anything your heart desires. One person even noted that they had to throw the jar away, because they couldn’t help but to eat them by the handful. Now that’s how you know it’s good!

“We have bought these multiple times. I have tried quite a few other dehydrated marshmallow brands, these take the cake. Some other brands are too fruity tasting, disintegrate much too quickly, or just plainly not great tasting,” one person wrote.

Hot cocoa isn’t the only treat that could use some extra marshmallows. You can add these to your cereal, cookie batter, ice cream, or whatever you’d like. What we’re trying to say is that we don’t think you’ll have the problem of having these go to waste.
