**Marshmallow (SSA) 1%/2% (11-23-23)** -- Happy Turkey Day !!!!! I initially started testing this at my typical (past tests) testing weight of 1%, and it came across as fairly thin, and unimpressive. Doubling this to 2% however, CHANGED the game. WOW, as I was UN-prepared for how much better this one would become. On my racks I typically bounce between FA, TPA, and LA depending on what I need, and/or a combination of the three. All are great, but serve single purposes. I will admit to TWO thoughts, the moment I tested it at 2%, "Wow, this is what FA's MM should have been", and "This may now be the best marshmallow out there". Review over, right ? This seemed to pick up all of the pro's from the 3 aforementioned MM's and did it in ONE package. A very authentic Marshmallow flavor encompassing every aspect from the light vanilla, mallow, gooey, AND, the dry powdered sugar finish. YES, all in ONE package. At 2% (possibly higher) it is an impressive flavor to test, and enjoy. As of this writing, I'm struggling to think of a MM use, where this would NOT fit the bill.
At 2% it was fairly thick, rich, and had a solid mouthfeel, and just did not leave you wanting. And coming from the S'mores Guy, THAT is impressive, as I tired of stacking multiple MM's just trying to get it present, and tasty in my S'mores recipes. While not the strongest SSA flavor, once tested at the correct weight, it was a gooey force to be reckoned with. I blew through 3 testers before giving UP on trying to nit-pick this one, with no off-notes. It's blending/softening is outside the scope of this review, but I can tell you two things. I'm getting a much bigger bottle, and I"m mixing up some S'mores. If you feel your current MM's fall short, or require tempering with other MM's, you SHOULD pick this one up. Realizing I JUST released the Kraken on the previous flavor, and do NOT want to diminish it's value, I cannot in good conscious, NOT slam this one at a **10/10**. Keep the Kraken out people !!!
