If you have a sweet tooth — or just know someone who does — you’ll want to pay attention. While you will find countless sweet shops across Illinois that specialize in everything from freshly-baked cookies and homemade ice cream to scrumptious cakes, pastries, and old-fashioned candies, we’ve discovered one shop that is wildly unique. This bright and cheery Chicago sweet shop is dedicated to marshmallows, and we’re seriously drooling over these made-from-scratch marshmallows that are unlike anything you’ll find in the candy aisle at your local grocery store.

Welcome to XO Marshmallow, where the nostalgia of sipping cocoa with marshmallows or roasting s’mores by the campfire has been brought into the 21st century with a modern, cheery twist.

The marshmallows are no doubt the star of the show, but their handcrafted beverages — like this gingerbread Chai with holiday hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and molasses topped with ooey marshmallow goodness and gingerbread men sprinkles — are absolutely to-die-for.
