Hello, all!

Well, there are a number of things on the go with Charmallows at the moment.

First of all, we found an article on us at VegNews that we somehow didn't catch earlier: "Vegan Marshmallows in the Works in Ottawa".

Please check out or Facebook page (Charmallows) for further and on-going details. We update that more often than the website here presently.

Flavour possibilities are listed there, as well as what flavours of Charmallows we have made up for on-line orders.

Basically, we can ship a box of Charmallows that weighs 2 kg, box included, to most locations in Canada for about $15 with a 1-2 day delivery time.

Snack bags of Charmallows, Plain or Flavoured, retail for $5 for each bag of ~8 Charmallows (~80 g). And you can buy twelve snack bags for the cost of only ten!

We are trying to find lighter boxes for ...

Please note the Olivia Chocolat vegan chocolate that I used.
Things were a bit rushed and I wasn't able to praise them in this clip. I spent a lot of time testing and trying various vegan chocolates and their Hempmilk Chocolate really stepped up to the plate for this. Excellent! 
Check out their website (http://www.oliviachocolatiers.com/) for more on their first rate products!

 

Thanks, everyone, for your inquiries for individual ordering and shipping from this site!

We do not as yet have a formal system set up, and that's primarily because we've been focused on developing reasonable shipping and handling costs! 

So, if you want to be part of our beta-sales tests, email sales@charmallows.com.

Retail snack packages of Charmallows, flavoured or non-flavoured, are $5.00 for 8 Charmallows.

A 250 g bag, containing approximately 30 Charmallows, would be $20.00.

All payments, for now, via PayPal.

In the short term, the actual shipping and handling will be calculated per order.

I hope this helps everyone who wants Charmallows NOW, and who don't live in the Ottawa-Gatineau region.

The European candy company Haribo makes a marshmallow product called "Chamallows".

I came across it while Googling and actually found the product in some stores locally.

Oddly enough, some people have misspelled "Chamallows" as "Charmallows" in a number of blogs and fan web sites.

So, to avoid confusion, I will clarify that in no uncertain terms, Haribo Chamallows are NOT Charmallows. And Charmallows are NOT Haribo Chamallows.

Thanks!

Charmallows a vegan treat for all to enjoy

Ottawa, ON –A local entrepreneur has turned an all-time favourite treat to vegan with the creation of Charmallows. As Canada’s only company offering vegan marshmallows, and one of only three in North America, Charmallows will make their first public debut at VegFest Ottawa 2013 to be hosted at St. Paul’s University, 223 Main Street, on June 22-23.

Made in small, artisanal batches, creator James Bain keeps a close eye on product quality and customer satisfaction. “I keep refining the recipe and have now achieved greater shelf life and better fluff. Added to that is greater consumer awareness – and demand has really taken off,” says Bain.

Charmallows, which are also Gluten free, have a simple ingredient listing of cane sugar, corn syrup, water, soy protein isolate, corn starch and carrageenan for the classic ...

Charmallows will be at Vegfest Ottawa 2013 (www.vegfest.ca) this June 22nd and 23rd.

Hosted at St. Paul's University on 223 Main Street, it promises to be a fun and exciting time for all!

We'll be there with a variety of our vegan Charmallows in flavours, such as Mango, Blackberry, Blueberry, Lychee, Mexican Chocolate, Chocolate-Hazelnut ("new-tella"), and a few other yummy surprises.

As well, we'll have plain Charmallows for all you traditionalists out there too.

Charmallows come in flavours too!

After a bit of experimentation, we now have flavoured Charmallows.

So far, we've made Peach, Mango, Mexican Chocolate, S'mores, "Score" Bar, Root Beer, Key Lime Pie, Cherry Cheesecake, Lemon, and the most extreme fruit flavour ever, Durian Fruit!

Lined up for future flavours are Lychee Fruit, Pomegranate, Blueberry, Blackberry, Absinthe, Whiskey, Tequila, Butter Rum, Toffee, and Pandan Fuit.

These are all made in small batches, experimentally or by order, but it's really fun to experiment, so if you're interested in something, or just want to toss out a challenge, drop us a line at info@charmallows.com.

Harvest Loaf, at 1323 Wellington Street in Westboro, now carries Charmallows in retail packaging.

They have both plain as well as flavoured Charmallows, and Mango seems to be the house favourite.
