Mallo Cup Mysteries Solved!


I have a particular affection for Mallo Cups. I don't know why. Is it because of the fluffy, sticky marshmallowy center? Or the surprise crispy crunch of the coconut in the chocolate? There's just something unique and magical about Mallo Cups, and of course, the "Play Money" in each package only adds to the appeal. When I was little, waaaayy before the Internet, I would save those cardboard vouchers and imagine what I could trade in my Mallo Cup cash for. A bicycle, maybe? Or how about a secret spy ring that I could use to communicate with other spy children? Well now, through the magic of the world wide Web, I was able to find out. Yes, with all those cardboard tokens that children everywhere have been saving up, you can buy a Mallo Cup baseball cap, T-shirt or, if you've really got a big stash of Play Money, a Mallo Cup watch. Woohoo. You can find the order form at the Boyer website. Oh, and while I was there, I finally learned what those hideous "Smoothie" peanut butter cups are. They're peanut butter in a butterscotch shell. Those were always one of the first things to get tossed from my Halloween stash.

Homemade Mallo Cups

The Snicker's Dark reminded me of an experiment I conducted a few Christmases ago. I wanted to see if I could make a homemade Mallo Cup with dark chocolate. I got some good-quality Belgian chocolate and melted it, then lined little foil cups with it and let it harden in the fridge. I toasted some coconut and mixed it with marshmallow fluff, then filled the cups with it and topped them off with more melted chocolate. Verdict: they were YUMMY!
