      Depends which brand – I prefer the mega big ones for s’mores, and I just googled – they contain 84kcal. Calories are just a measure of the energy content of food – we all need energy to survive, it’s fine to have a marshmallow or two as long as you’re eating your fruit and veggies too.

      Hannah is right about checking specific brands. My favourite marshmallows are flumps and according to the website there are 320 kcal per 100g. Apparently a flump cable is 12g. That means there is 38.4 kcal per flump cable so you are better with a flump than a s’more 😉 Just check the packaging first
