Candy Review: Mallow Fries

Tuesday, April 21, 2009 - by Diana

One of my favorite meals is a plain old hamburger and fries. So when I saw that the Giant Size Mallow Burger was reviewed, I had to go out and try the Mallow Fries. Because what’s a marshmallow burger without any marshmallow fries, right?

At first look, I like the way they are packaged in a typical fry container. Surprisingly, they even look like fast food french fries – wrinkly ones that have been sitting out for a while that we all seem to have the misfortune of getting in our drive-thru bag.

The fry container holds about ten nice-sized marshmallow fries. It also comes with a packet of sour strawberry candy gel that’s supposed to look like – yep, you guessed it – a packet of ketchup.

As for the Mallow Fries, they have a chewy texture as well as a faint marshmallow taste. They don’t really have that much flavor, which is probably why they included sour strawberry gel. The strawberry gel smelled like sweet candy and was certainly sour. When dipping the Mallow Fries in the gel, it got kind of messy because the gel is sticky and gooey. However, the fries tasted better when eaten with the gel.

The Mallow Fries are fat free, so I guess they are healthier than the real thing. Overall, the Mallow Fries were not that bad. I wasn’t expecting to like them, but I would probably eat them again – if McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s and Arbys all went out of business.
