Smash Mallow came out last year and currently comes in seven different flavors. I spied it once or twice before, but it was half off at Wegman's which means $1.49 for each 4.5 ounce package (they are four bucks a package if you order from their website).
I don't want to ruin the surprise too much, but I did not like these at all. Granted, I am no churro expert, but I thought the idea was for churros to be delightful and sweet. Instead, Smash Mallow tries to get a little cinnamon heat going and I do not approve. Go ahead and give the episode a listen for my complete reaction.
Have a good week everyone!
I tried it as a free sample at BJ's and the Fancy Food Show. I did kind of like it. I think it would make a great change up for smores. Maybe that could work out. Dark chocolate with cinnamon churro marshmallow. I wonder did you try it toasted?
ReplyDeleteI did not! I have several left so I will give it a try.
ReplyDeleteUgh. Smash mallow. I gifted a package of churro to a friend who's gluten-free and picky and loves cinnamon. She was polite when I asked how they were, but I could tell they weren't what I'd hoped. Months later I bought a bag of the strawberry to try, and they taste exactly like cough syrup! They are irredeemably bad. So disappointed.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you call out the change in the Pizza Hut pizza at Target. My wife and I have tried it a couple of times thinking we just got a bad pizza, but no, it appears to be a permanent change for the worse.
ReplyDelete@Joseph: yeah, we were hoping it was a fluke as well. BOOOOOOOO.
ReplyDelete@Anon: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO to this too
We tried a few different flavors of the Smash Mallows. We didn't really like the cinnamon churro or the strawberry very much, but the lemon poppy seed, root beer float, and mint chip ones were actually pretty tasty.
ReplyDeleteSo what the outcome of the toasted method?
ReplyDeleteBusy week, havent tried it yet, soon :)
