Gourmet Marshmallows from Sweet Lydia’s in Lowell, Massachusetts
The pillow-y, small-batch marshmallows from Sweet Lydia’s come in both classic and seasonal flavors like gingerbread and spiced chai. I like the traditional assortment bag of coconut, mocha, raspberry, and vanilla. If you’re sweet tooth still isn’t satisfied, you can also nab handmade candy bars, s’mores, caramels, and toffee.
