Last month, we wrote about a Chicago-based chocolatier, truffle truffle, and their unusual new item: beer marshmallows. Based on the flood of comments we got on the post, Facebook and Twitter it was clear that readers were hooked.
So when we heard that founder and owner Nicole Greene was giving these addictive sweets a twist for St. Patrick's Day, we had to get our hands on some. Dipped in milk chocolate and topped with crunchy bits of a sweet, salty beer-and-pretzel brittle, the green marshmallows become "green beer o'mallows" -- same great taste, but with a little more St. Patty's Day spirit.
Since they didn't want the editors at Slashfood and KitchenDaily to have all the fun, truffle truffle is giving Slashfood readers a chance to try them, too.
Find out how to win one out of six boxes after the jump.
Visit truffletruffle.com to purchase your own. A percentage of proceeds from the sale of these seasonal treats will benefit Gateway Green's Tree Partnership Program, dedicated to converting abandoned lots into community green spaces to beautify Chicago's neighborhoods.
