Everywhere I went in Nashville, I kept seeing references to The Bang Candy Company. Small quartets of handmade marshmallows were sold at shops all across town. I love how Nashville businesses support other Nashville businesses, and since the candy shop was just across town, we decided to check it out.

The shop is quite small (but it's located in this cool lively strip with other shops), with just a few shelves of their various products. They also serve coffee, tea and other drinks and baked goods. I bought a box of marshmallows as a gift, and I got a few out of the case to try for myself.

I ordered Maple Bacon Bourbon, Rose Cardamom, Mango Tamarind and PB&J.

To be honest, these all kind of tasted the same to me. They weren't bad, but the actual flavors weren't totally noticeable. Very faint. And, the chocolate was a dark chocolate.

I think the idea here is pretty cool. I do wish the flavors were a bit more bold. Maybe I picked wrong. Either way, cool concept and branding.
