Easter marshmallow candies

Easter marshmallow candies are seasonal sweets for people putting together holiday baskets, table bowls, or a simple sugar-heavy treat for children. By our assessment, their best feature is the soft, airy texture and the festive shapes that make them easy to use as decoration as much as candy. The downside is just as clear: they are mostly sugar and starch with little complexity, so once the novelty fades they are only a very sweet bite. In practice they are sticky, cheerful, and short-lived, the sort of thing that disappears from a bowl before anyone calls it a proper dessert. They sit between chocolate eggs and other holiday candy, but with much less depth of flavour. If someone wants a light seasonal filler, they fit that job; if someone wants a serious sweet, they do not have much to offer.
