Delivered
As expected, many of the deliveries made their destination practically overnight. Had I sent them during the week, the delivery time would have been fantastic.
I believe Set A, predicted to melt, did so, and none too pleasing to the eye. Brenda was kind enough to shoot me some pix and none of the marshmallows made it through unscathed, but Set C came through the best. I do believe good packaging would have saved Set B. Set A was doomed before they even left.
Set A is special, and overall (in my opinion) had (when fresh) the best flavor and texture. Of course that does not matter when the recipient receives a wad of marshmallow cream. No, Set A should be set aside for winter time and then carefully dipped into the finest chocolate. Oh baby. They would be surely sinful then.
Packaging. It’s going to come down to that. I need to find a nice box, a nice tray large enough to handle the size of the marshmallows, and some pads. I really am not sure if an acrylic box wouldn’t be a better route to take. Pour the marshmallows directly into it, let it set, put it in a package, and mail — uncut. They would arrive in the best shape that way. Don’t know how the recipients would like that though and they’re pricier than traditional boxes.
Decisions, decisions.
