Green Beer Marshmallows Giveaway!featured
Taking a cue from the emerald transformation of the Chicago River every year, Chi-town-based confectioner, Nicole Greene of truffle truffle, has turned her Beer and Pretzel Marshmallows green for St. Patrick’s Day!
Her Green Beer O’Mallows feature a thick, beer foamy marshmallow dipped in milk chocolate, and topped with beer & pretzel brittle bits. Oh, and they are also decked out in lucky Shamrock confetti flair.
As if it could get any better, a percentage of proceeds from the sale of these treats will benefit Gateway Green’s Tree Partnership Program, dedicated to converting abandoned lots into community green spaces to beautify Chicago’s neighborhoods.
It’s all enough to make a leprechaun dance.
