About this deal

Our Taste Test was measured, but none too positive; the takeaway was that it’s simply too much sugar, in too high a concentration, to be enjoyed. Personalised advertising may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of information under California and other state privacy laws, and you may have a right to opt out. I didn’t have pretzel sticks, but I did have chocolate graham cracker pretzels, which I balanced out with some extra salty, buttery popcorn.

The sweets and salt crash into each other in a not-incredibly-interesting way, and each mouthful is a cacophony of all the different sources of crunch. The only good thing about this combination is that the tang of the pizza sauce and the char on the crust was enough to dull the aftertaste of the marshmallows. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Readers were quick to point out that the bag wasn’t worth writing off just yet, and suggested many alternative applications that might make the marshmallows more worthwhile. In a typical bowl of Lucky Charms, the application of milk never makes the marshmallows soggy all the way through; a grainy core remains at the center of each marshmallow for your teeth to hook onto.

Last week, we reviewed a bag of Lucky Charms Just Magical Marshmallows—that is, a sackful of the little sugary bits, with none of the pesky cereal nonsense. Yes, you’re seeing that right; the back of the box has no games, while the bag inside is sturdy and opaque instead of transparent. Turning off the personalised advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive. The milk’s color slowly became sinister green swamp water, and ghost leprechauns laughed in my head in a slot machine formation. Unfortunately, as the cookies cooled, the marshmallow bits became tougher and felt a little like biting down on stale old gum.

The experience is different than just separating marshmallows from normal Lucky Charms, because these marshmallows are untainted by even the faintest crumb of oat dust. Etsy’s 100% renewable electricity commitment includes the electricity used by the data centres that host Etsy.

But in a steaming mug of cocoa, the marshmallows finally, finally relent, and I was able to consume them without having to bite into them at all. That is, until I received a cryptic package from Gabe Fonseca, a long-time friend of Cerealously and fellow cereal die-hard. And hey after i was finally able to close my mouth again, after reading the topic in my feeds, i know it had to be Gabe who sent you the cereals. Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. Kids and adults alike have been separating the oats from the marshmallows in Lucky Charms for decades, but now General Mills was cutting out the middle man by giving away ten—count ’em—ten (10) boxes of just marshmallows!

Always altruistic, Gabe sent the third box to General Mills’ cereal archive to be preserved for all time. My mom won a trippy-colored box of 🍀 Lucky Charms All Marshmallows along w/its’ HELLO message poster and she gave them to me for Christmas. And I don’t know what was more shocking: that the marshmallows came out of the oven having doubled in size on the surface of the cookies; that the marshmallows had turned a slightly leathery, puffy consistency, like a piece of stale Pirate’s Booty; or that the latter was not altogether unpleasant as I took my first bite.On this point, I was correct: once it was bejeweled with all the little cereal marshmallows on top, this ice cream was a dead ringer for soggy cereal—and I mean that in a good way. Unfortunately, when you have chewy/crunchy/otherwise solid toppings on your ice cream, that ice cream must be bitten into rather than simply licked from the spoon, and given that these grainy marshmallows are already a substance against which my teeth reflexively brace for impact, adding shivery cold ice cream to the mix left my mouth with a minefield of textures and temperatures to negotiate, for minimal payoff.

After several fervent ALL CAPS Twitter messages, I found out that Gabe had managed to procure not just one, but three of the 10 Marshmallows Only boxes. The sweetness of the marshmallows flowed rather beautifully into the buttery taste of the shortbread, not having been fully “activated” by milk or any other sort of liquid. I entered—all you had to do was submit pictures of yourself with a pretend box of Marshmallows Only. If you do make these, take note: pressing the marshmallows in too firmly will create a divot in the dough that grows wider while baking, creating ugly goopy strings of melting marshmallow, as seen in the top right cookie above. To be fair, the marshmallows don’t have much effect on the slice at all—it’d take more than some nasty sugar nuggets to take down some of the best Neapolitan pizza in Chicago.Whether it’s an engagement ring, the One Ring to rule them all, or that darn videotape from The Ring, every so often an object enters your life and changes it forever. Though i really thought he sent you the opened box from his video, since i wasn’t aware of the fact, that he was already able to secure 3 boxes of this amazing treasure!
