Mallo Cup

A type of candy cup filled with marshmallow cream

Mallo Cup is a type of candy produced by the Boyer Brothers company. It is a chocolate cup filled with a whipped marshmallow center and sprinkled with bits of coconut. The Mallo Cup is a classic American confection that has been enjoyed by candy lovers since its introduction in the 1930s.

History

The Mallo Cup was first created by the Boyer Brothers, Bill and Bob Boyer, in the late 1930s. The Boyer Brothers started their candy business in Altoona, Pennsylvania, initially producing homemade fudge and nut clusters. The Mallo Cup was one of their first major successes and helped establish the Boyer Brothers as a significant player in the candy industry.

Production

The production of Mallo Cups involves several steps. First, the chocolate is melted and poured into molds to form the outer shell of the cup. The marshmallow filling is then whipped to a light and fluffy consistency before being deposited into the chocolate cups. Finally, the cups are topped with a sprinkle of coconut before being sealed with a layer of chocolate.

The main ingredients in a Mallo Cup include:

• Milk chocolate

Packaging

Mallo Cups are typically packaged in a distinctive yellow wrapper with red lettering. Each package contains two Mallo Cups, and the packaging often includes "Play Money" points that can be collected and redeemed for prizes.

Cultural Impact

Mallo Cups have maintained a nostalgic appeal among candy enthusiasts. They are often associated with childhood memories and are considered a classic treat in the United States.
