Nabisco Mallomars Cookies | Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies
We bring you a seasonal indulgence that's been a favorite since 1913. Nabisco Mallomars layer fluffy marshmallow on a crisp graham cracker base, then coat each cookie in pure dark chocolate. The result is a melt-in-your-mouth experience that balances sweetness with the slight bitterness of premium chocolate.
Our Mallomars are available only during cooler months — typically September through March — because the delicate chocolate coating is designed to maintain its perfect texture in moderate temperatures. Each box contains individually wrapped cookies that preserve freshness and make them ideal for lunch boxes, afternoon snacks, or after-dinner treats. The combination of textures — crunchy cracker, pillowy marshmallow, and smooth chocolate — creates a sensory experience that generations of families have come to treasure.
What makes Mallomars special
Ingredients & Chocolate Craftsmanship
We craft every batch of Nabisco Mallomars with pure dark chocolate that contains real cocoa for depth of flavor. The chocolate coating is engineered to snap cleanly when you bite, revealing the marshmallow interior without melting in your hand during cooler months.
Our graham cracker foundation uses enriched flour and honey for subtle sweetness that doesn’t compete with the marshmallow and chocolate. The marshmallow filling contains corn syrup, sugar, and egg whites whipped to an airy consistency that dissolves smoothly on your palate. We add no artificial flavors or colors to any component of our Mallomars, letting the quality of each ingredient speak for itself.
Seasonal Availability & Storage
Nabisco Mallomars appear in stores from September through March because the dark chocolate coating performs best in cooler temperatures. We designed these cookies to maintain their texture when stored below 70°F, which is why we pause production during summer months when heat can compromise the chocolate’s quality.
Store your Mallomars in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. The ideal storage temperature is between 60-68°F. If your home runs warm, consider keeping the box in a basement or pantry on a lower shelf where heat rises less. Refrigeration is not recommended because moisture can affect the graham cracker’s crispness and cause chocolate bloom — the white film that appears when chocolate experiences temperature fluctuations.
Serving Suggestions & Pairing Ideas
We designed Mallomars to be enjoyed straight from the package, but many of our customers have discovered creative ways to enhance the experience. Try refrigerating a few cookies for 15-20 minutes before serving — the chilled chocolate develops an even more satisfying snap, while the marshmallow becomes slightly firmer.
For beverage pairings, consider hot coffee or tea. The warmth of the drink contrasts beautifully with the cool chocolate, and the marshmallow begins to soften slightly as you alternate bites and sips. Our Mallomars also pair well with cold milk, creating a nostalgic after-school snack that appeals to both children and adults. Some families serve them alongside fresh fruit like strawberries or orange slices to add a bright, tart note that cuts through the sweetness.

Questions About Mallomars Cookies
We produce Mallomars from September through March because the pure dark chocolate coating performs best in cooler temperatures below 70°F. During warmer months, the chocolate can soften and lose its signature snap, which would compromise the texture experience we've maintained since 1913. This seasonal approach also preserves the quality and freshness that our customers expect.
Store your Mallomars in a cool, dry place between 60-68°F, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Avoid refrigeration, as moisture can affect the graham cracker's crispness and cause chocolate bloom. The individual wrapping protects each cookie, but reseal the box between servings. Once opened, consume within 7-10 days for peak freshness.
We use pure dark chocolate with real cocoa instead of milk chocolate or compound coatings. The higher cocoa content and lower sugar level balance the sweetness of the marshmallow filling and provide a firmer snap at room temperature. This dark chocolate also delivers a more sophisticated flavor profile that complements rather than competes with the other ingredients.
Yes, Mallomars are kosher certified. Each box displays the kosher symbol, and we maintain certification throughout the production process. This certification ensures the ingredients and manufacturing meet strict dietary standards recognized by kosher-observant consumers.
A standard 9 oz box contains approximately 12 individually wrapped cookies. The exact count may vary slightly by production batch, but each box provides the same net weight. Individual wrapping preserves freshness and makes portion control easy for snacking or packing in lunch boxes.
Yes, the white coating (called chocolate bloom) is safe to eat and doesn't affect flavor. Bloom occurs when chocolate experiences temperature fluctuations, causing cocoa butter to rise to the surface. While the appearance changes, the taste and safety remain unchanged. Proper storage in cool, stable conditions minimizes bloom development.
Mallomars feature a graham cracker base topped with marshmallow and coated in dark chocolate, creating distinct layers. Our Pinwheel cookies swirl marshmallow and fudge together in a spiral pattern throughout the cookie itself. Both offer marshmallow and chocolate, but the construction and texture experience differ significantly between the two products.
