XO Marshmallow Launches Nationally in Paper Source for Holiday 2018
Rose Gold Rosé marshmallows will be available in all 128 stores
CHICAGO, Nov. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Gourmet marshmallow company XO Marshmallow will make their national retail debut at Paper Source with their ingenious Rose Gold Rosé marshmallows. Available in all 128 starting November 10, 2018, the marshmallows will be available in sets of 12 for $15.95.
The Rose Gold Rosé mallows are made with Graham Beck, which has notes of cherry and raspberry, and of course, edible rose gold glitter. Designed to be luxe, playful, and a little bit extra, this XO Marshmallow offering is perfect for stocking stuffers, co-worker gifts, bridal and baby showers, hosts, and more.
Whether it's in the backyard with a campfire or BBQ, or in the house with a stove or microwave, making s'mores and getting all sticky is a fond childhood memory for many. Lindzi Shanks and Kat Connor, XO Marshmallow co-founders, took that ooey-gooey memory and turned it into a 21st century, gourmet, handmade treat with a modern twist. Using proprietary recipes, Shanks and Connor produce flavors such as Lavender Honey, Butterbeer, Matcha, Champagne, and Salted Caramel. Marshmallow of the month flavors have included Apple Turnover, FireWERK, Neapolitan, Watermelon and Orange Dreamsicle.
"Paper Source's chic yet witty product collections made saying yes to this holiday 2018 partnership a no-brainer. This is our first national retail distribution and it's only fitting they chose our most luxurious 'mallow to date, Rose Gold Rosé. We hope consumers enjoy the experience of seeing our marshmallows in-store and how they pair with other items" said Lindzi Shanks and Kat Connor, co-founders of XO Marshmallow. "We love experimenting with new flavors and add-ons, such as edible glitter, and look forward to introducing similar products in the future."
"XO Marshmallow is a natural fit for our stores. Not only are we both Chicago based, but they create a product that deviates from the mainstream and they transform something warm and familiar into something beautiful and unexpected: they have reinvented the marshmallow!" said Patrick Priore, Chief Merchant at Paper Source. "We are an experiential store, where customers can explore and find some new treasures in every visit. XO Marshmallow's Rose Gold represents one of those treasures, from the beautiful packaging to the amazing flavor, we are confident our customers will love them as much as we do. We are proud to feature them as a Paper Source exclusive."
In July 2017, Shanks and Connor opened Chicago's first and only marshmallow café. The bright and cozy space features seating for 20 and signature menu items such as a DIY s'mores, S'macos (s'more tacos), Marshmallow Dream Bars, Marshmallow Turtles, Toasted Marshmallow Lattes, and Frozen S'mores. The café also has a retail section featuring XO Marshmallow marshmallows, mars'halos and more.
