Good old fashioned MARSHMALLOWS
Elaine Gallegos
As a kid, I can just barely remember a brand of marshmallows called
"Campfire Marshmallows". The brand my still be in existance, but the old
recipe was unusally good. They came in a box rather than a plastic bag.
The outsides were sort of dry, as if there were a sort of crust on each
one. The insides were....something, I don't remember exactly. They were
VERY different from jet puffed marshmallows. One by one, all of the
marshmallow makers went over to the jet puffed recipe, as if this were
some big improvement. It's not.
The old recipe was very good. I cannot abide jet puffed marshmallows.
Does anyone remember this, or have a recipe for a good, old fashioned
marshmallow?

O my gosh !! After all these years when I read this post I could see and
taste them !Amazing, I had not thought about them since I was a child.
The insides were sort of -well- creamy. The out side had a dry powder on
them, What happened to them ? I can't help you, but it is fun thinking
about them.

I'm not sure of the brand - something that's not nationally known but
there's a variety I've had in the last couple years that sounds exactly
like that.
Of course my favorite way to eat marshmallows is toasted over an open
fire or hot coals. Of course there were also those who actually ignited
the marshmallows but that's a different story.

Campfire brand marshmallows are still on the supermarket shelves.

Famed San Francisco Confectioner Sold to Owner of Marshmallow Business
Associated Press Writer
March 4, 1996
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Ghirardelli Chocolate Co., the upscale sweet maker and a
San Francisco tourist mainstay, has been bought by a Dallas investment company
that owns one of the best-known brands of marshmallows.
The deal announced today marks the third time in the past 10 years that the
company founded in 1852 by Domingo Ghirardelli has changed owners.
The price paid by the investment firm of Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst Inc., owner
of the Campfire Marshallow business, wasn't disclosed. But the sale should be
final in ``````````````````````````````
April, said Ghirardelli spokeswoman Tinka Gordon.
Ghirardelli has become a leading purveyor of high-quality chocolate
confections, with five retail outlets in California, including Ghirardelli
Square in San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf area, and one in Chicago.
The company has an industrial division that sells chocolate chips, coatings and
cocoas to commercial bakers and the specialty coffee industry.
Ghirardelli has been owned by the Boston-based venture capital firm of Thomas
H. Lee Co. since 1992, when it acquired the company from Quaker Oats Co., which
acquired it from the De Domenico family in 1986.
C. Dean Metropoulus, head of a Hicks Muse management affiliate, will chair
Ghirardelli, said partner John R. Muse.
Ghirardelli fits in with the company's ''growing portfolio of food product
companies,'' Muse said. Besides Campfire Marshmallows, the company's other
famous confection brand is Angela Marie's rice crispie treats.
Last week, Hicks Muse sold its interest in G. Heilman Brewing Co. to the Stroh
Brewery Co.
In January, Hicks Muse chairman Thomas O. Hicks bought the Dallas Stars
National Hockey League team.
Hicks Muse has offices in Dallas, New York, St. Louis, and Mexico City.

I remember Campfire Marshmallows in little boxes of eight.
My Uncle Fred used to bring them to North Dakota from Chicago.
One summer I ate so many boxes I got really sick.
Still can't eat a marshmallow "raw".
