The Mallows of the Mountains once, in a mighty epic battle, overcame the Mallows of the Valley. The Mallows of the Valley were a fat lazy people, many of then suffered from the dreaded Sweet Tooth, and so were almost constantly sticcky sweet. After the battle, the Valley Mallows ran as fast as they could (which wasn't very fast, being fat as they were) for the Sea, but became lost in a Marsh. When the Mountain Mallows caught up to them, they set the Marsh ablaze!! et voila!!! The very first Roasted Marsh Mallows!!!!
The women of the Mountain Mallows created the fluffy sweet confection we now call the Marshmallow to remember their great victory over the Mallows of the Valley.

11. What is the origin and history of marshmallow candy?
Marshmallow candy dates back to ancient Egypt where it was a honey-based
candy flavored and thickened with the sap of the root of the
Marsh-Mallow plant (althea officinalis). Marsh-Mallow grows in salt
marshes and on banks near large bodies of water. It is common in the
eastern United States.
Until the mid 1800's, marshmallow candy was made using the sap of the
Marsh-Mallow plant. Gelatin replaces the sap in the modern recipes.
