Hello and thank you for visiting The Marshmallow Factory company website.
We are about to take you on a whimsical tour into our flavourful journey of gourmet marshmallows & our marshmallow company.
When you think of marshmallows, the first thing that likely comes to mind is the ubiquitous, mass-produced, machine-made puffs found in every grocery store usually found in the clear packaging.
While these marshmallows are familiar to everyone & a convenient necessity in today's market, they don't offer much beyond a basic bland sweetness with a standard, somewhat rubbery texture.
This is not the same type of marshmallow The Marshmallow Factory makes! Keep reading to find out what sets us apart from those bland store bought boring marshmallows.
What if we told you that a marshmallow could be so much more than your use to?
At The Marshmallow Factory, we're here to change your perception of what a real marshmallow can & should be by pushing the boundaries on quality, flavour & textures. Gourmet marshmallows are tomorrow's new candy. Watch the evolution of marshmallows unfold by following us on our social media pages.
The Mass-Produced Marshmallow
Most marshmallows you'll find on local store shelves are created through high-speed, industrial processes. These marshmallows are made from a few basic cheaply sourced ingredients: corn syrup, sugar, gelatin, and artificial flavorings filled with preservatives.
A major marshmallow manufacturer's main goal is to produce large quantities of marshmallows as quickly & cheaply as possible, resulting in marshmallows that are often lacking in texture and most importantly flavour & substance.
The Marshmallow Factory Gourmet Marshmallow Difference
At The Marshmallow Factory, we take a completely different approach. We take pride in creating each & every marshmallow from start to finish. So much so that every single marshmallow goes through a hand checked process in 3 stages prior to packaging. Once the mixture is poured & set we hand cut every square, toss them into our curing mixture of icing sugar & corn starch until they are at their target moisture level. Once the target moisture level is reached, we sift the marshmallows removing the excess powder. Next we prepare the packaging & fill each bag by hand one by one. The packages are than stamped with our date & lot numbers. The marshmallows are now ready for the shelves.
Our curing methods allows us to extend the peak freshness dates for up to 6 months in our re sealable packaging without adding any nasty preservatives. Generally speaking sugar is a natural preservative on its own & some of our testing has shown that most of our products are still as fresh as the day they were packaged 2 years after our marshmallows were placed into our sealed packaging.
Our marshmallows are all handmade in small batches using the finest ingredients available. We believe that the quality of ingredients directly impacts the taste and texture of the final product. That's why we use locally sourced ingredients whenever possible, ensuring freshness & supporting our local communities & other small businesses in the process.
Quality Ingredients alone play a major role in the finished product.
One of our signature ingredients used in every single batch is sustainably & ethically sourced Mexican vanilla, unlike the artificial vanilla flavorings found in mostly all store-bought marshmallows.
The Mexican vanilla beans impart a rich, complex profile of creaminess & flavor that's unique & alone elevates our marshmallows to a new level on its own.
As our main ingredient, we use locally sourced sugars & natural sweeteners like local honey supporting Canadian bee farms, all of which contribute to a superior taste & texture to making a top quality gourmet marshmallow.
We're proud to support local farmers & suppliers to source the freshest, highest quality ingredients for our marshmallows & marshmallow confections.
From locally produced honey to farm-fresh ingredients & natural flavourings. Every ingredient we use is carefully selected to ensure that our marshmallows are not only delicious but also made with pride, integrity & care.
The difference in taste and texture between a mass-produced, machine made marshmallow and a handmade "for you" gourmet marshmallow is night and day. There's just no comparison. There 2 completely different confections.
The Marshmallow Factory Vanilla bean marshmallows are light and fluffy, with a melt-in-your-mouth texture that is impossible to achieve with machine-made products.
Our marshmallow flavors are vibrant & true.
Each marshmallow batch flavourings are uniquely balanced & tested for multiple uses such as baking, eating right out of the bag or for toasting over the open fire, we're all about the ability to take the s'mores game to the next level whether you're enjoying our classic Mexican vanilla or one of our unique creations like our Honey dill pickle or Salted Caramel & Toffee marshmallows.
We invite you to experience the difference for yourself. Once you've tried a marshmallow from The Marshmallow Factory, you'll never look at those grocery store marshmallows the same way again. Our commitment to quality, craftsmanship, & locally sourced ingredients ensures that every bite is a treat to be savored on its own or creating lasting memories with friends & family around the camp fire🔥.

We're NOT your average marshmallow!
On our marshmallow company website you will find we not only make the soft and fluffy kind of marshmallows but we also make a full range of Gourmet marshmallows, dehydrated marshmallows, freeze dried marshmallows & those hard to find chocolate covered marshmallows.
The Marshmallow Factory is on the forefront of quality & innovation with a goal to keep bringing you the best new marshmallow candies of today & tomorrow!
Our marshmallow company is continuously evolving over time & we have added some specialty items like our popular marshmallow barks & now a few products that may not contain marshmallows at all like the Viral Dubai pistachio kunafa chocolate bar which is now available right here in Winnipeg Canada. (Yes we can ship them Canada wide, only for a limited time)
Since we are on the topic of chocolate bars I'm also going to mention to keep checking our marshmallow company website for our full line up of new & exciting products, we add new flavours almost monthly. The Marshmallow Factory brings out seasonal gourmet marshmallows every fall, winter, spring & summer. Our marshmallows are available at many local shops like rural CO-OP grocery stores, check out our section "where to buy" to find a retailer near you.
Do you miss those delicious chocolate covered marshmallows you used to be able to find everywhere? Well, The Marshmallow Factory started covering our gourmet marshmallows with the best Belgian chocolate available. We not only cover our cherry, orange, banana, strawberry, mint & raspberry gourmet marshmallows in callibeaut chocolate but we also make those cute little gourmet marshmallow figurines like easter eggs, hearts, santa & more! We have also created an incredible Stay Puft figurine out of our gourmet marshmallows for Halloween 2024. Keep checking back often for new gourmet marshmallow confections, we are always creating something new!
Our gourmet marshmallows are used by many Canadian companies, chefs, restaurant's & bakery's across Canada. We are not the marshmallow co that sells gimmick type confections. We are the marshmallow co that makes great tasting, versatile marshmallows. All our marshmallow recipes are made to be versatile in all categories. Baking, snacking right out of the bag or toasting our marshmallows over the open fire. Some people have even used our honey dill pickle marshmallows on top of their carrots or yams in the oven. The uses are endless.
Now the hard part.... it's time to head over to our marshmallow company shop and check out what we have been working on. You can place your order online from our marshmallow shop or head on over to The Marshmallow Factory shop in person at 771 Selkirk Ave here in Winnipeg Manitoba Canada.
