SkinnyPop is also Teal Pumpkin Project-approved meaning it's free of all major allergens.Instead of Kraft Jet-Puffed Miniature Marshmallows try Smashmallow
Smashmallow makes highbrow alternatives to traditional marshmallows. Not only do they come in a relatively long list of flavors like Cinnamon Churro and Meyer Lemon Poppy Seed, but they're made without a long list of chemicals. Note however marshmallows are still marshmallows–even if they're called Smashmallows–so the number one ingredient in these is still sugar (albeit organic sugar) so remember to stick to one serving (30g or four marshmallows for a total 90 calories and 14g of sugar). Here are some creative ways to use any leftover marshmallows.Content continues below ad
