SMASHMALLOW will be sampling their current product line of decadent marshmallows, crispy rice treats and single-serve snack packs. All SMASHMALLOW snacks are made with simple, natural, NON- GMO and gluten-free ingredients that attendees are invited to sample at Booth #1777 during the winter show.

Lacy and the growing SMASHMALLOW team are prepped to continue the fast-growing success of the brand, including nationwide distribution in all Target stores, beginning February 2018.
“SMASHMALLOW has reinvented the very nature of a marshmallow and has created a new use occasion, with the brand's creation of a snackable treat. With the overwhelmingly positive response we've received from our consumers, creating new and innovative flavors to add to the product lineup was inevitable,” said Founder of Sonoma Brands Jon Sebastiani. “SMASHMALLOW will have many more exciting developments throughout the upcoming year, under David's leadership.”
