Chocolate-coated marshmallow treats are produced in different variations around the world with several countries claiming to have invented it or hailing it as their national confection. The first chocolate-coated marshmallow treat was created in the early 1800s in Denmark. Originally the treat was made using cream (hence the Danish name flødeboller (cream buns)) but the filling was later made from egg whites to help industrializing production and improve shelf life.
