Comptoir de Mathilde Box of Christmas Marshmallows

Tasting Notes of the Curator

These marshmallows are a playful yet indulgent treat that capture the essence of holiday fun. Each stick begins with soft, pillowy guimauve — light, airy, and melt-in-the-mouth. The marshmallows are then cloaked in smooth milk chocolate, creating a luscious contrast between creamy richness and delicate sweetness. What makes this box enchanting is the finishing touch: each stick is adorned with a different festive garnish, from colorful sugar pearls to roasted nuts, lending texture, flavor, and a touch of whimsy. The result is a confection that delights both children and adults alike — nostalgic yet elevated, comforting yet festive. A single bite transports you to the heart of a Christmas fair, where indulgence is part of the joy and sharing becomes tradition.
