Hammond’s Marshmallows Grows from a Small Family Business to an International Sensation

Hammond’s Candies has been serving up mouth-watering sweets for over a century. Founded in Denver, Colorado, Hammond’s started as a small family business and has since expanded into an iconic international candy brand. Hammond’s secret is using the same careful craftsmanship that founder, Carl T. Hammond, Sr., put into all of his original family recipes. Andrew Schuman purchased Hammond’s Candies in 2007 and broadened its product lines. The company continues to thrive under his leadership today, and what was true in 1920 is still true today, “Nothing is more important than quality.”

In 2008, Hammond’s brought on Ellen Bruss Design to help rebrand and design packaging that would withstand the test of time. With every new Hammond’s product, EBD works on perfectly packaging the sweet treat that awaits inside. Bringing together a classic, yet bold design and a nostalgic approach to reflect the long Hammond’s history, the branding catches your eye before you indulge into the flavors of Hammond’s sweet treats.

A fan favorite and must try is Hammond’s small batch, handmade marshmallows. Launched in the summer of 2017, the line first featured six delicious flavors of snackable marshmallows. At 100 calories or less per serving, and all natural, these tasty treats are the perfect low-calorie indulgent snack and a must-try in s’mores and cocoa.

The marshmallow line has continued to expand and delight marshmallow lovers of all ages.

Launched in January 2023, the Cinnamon Churro Marshmallows are the latest addition. Sprinkled with a blended cinnamon sugar mixture, they’re the perfect spiced snack. Hammond’s Marshmallows also feature flavors such as Birthday Cake, Strawberry Crème, Peppermint, Toasted Coconut, Caramel Pumpkin, Vanilla Bean and Chocolate Chip.
