Handcrafted marshmallows?

[calzephyr]

How much would you pay for a box of handcrafted marshmallows? I was pondering the question this week when I saw a link for 8 gourmet marshmallows for $8.50US, but I found myself pondering a box of them in Williams Sonoma, where we were in search of a knife sharpener.

Fortunately there were still a few boxes of vanilla ones on the sale table, and while I might not pay $22.50Cdn for a box, I was willing to part with $3.99. They are tasty and good, but I can spend $22.50 on better things :-) I just can't imagine anyone pretentious enough to buy them at full price, but I'm sure they're out there.

I've heard that it's relatively easy to make your own marshmallows, and since you give the impression of being a competent cook, you could probably even make your own variations to the recipes. :)

email them and ask if they are made with real marshmallow (which is a plant) or horehound which I think is used as a substitute, if they arent made with real traditional ingedients then thay are not worth $8 !
