Yup, these were Campfire brand and I loved them too. I don't believe they make them anymore.

I would love to h ave just one marshmellow from the 60's-they came in a box with tissue paper between the layers are had powdered sugar dusted on top. Nothing today compares.

I think they were called Campfire "Old Fashioned" marshmallows, and, yep, they were great. If you make homemade marshmallows (not really that difficult), they will taste pretty similar.

Hi, We are sitting around the campfire drinking margaritas, singing songs, sharing stories and sharing marshmellow recollections as well as toasting marshmallows. Two of us remember the Campfire marshmallows in a box. Lois being from the midwest has no recollection of these wonderful treats. Ann and I cannot remember if there were 6 or 8 marshmallows in each layer. We thought that if we could find a picture of the box on the internet that it would jog Lois's memory. So if anyone has a picture and has the skill to download it to this site we would appreciate it. Actually any information would be great. Now we are off for another margarita. Thanks for listening.

I cannot remember the brand name of the marshmallows we used, but I believe there were two layers of 8 marshmallows per box, the box being a bit larger than kitchen match box. I think the box was wrapped in a blue and white wax paper with a layer of paper seperating the two layers. They were smaller than todays marshmallow, and a bit crustier (is that a word?), but this may have been due to them drying out a bit and going stale, kind of like bread being exposed to air. The powdery surface may have been the residue from cornstarch, which confectioners use to keep candy from sticking. Anyway, the old marshmallows always seemed a bit more exotic and were a special treat for us kids, more so than todays giant plastic pillow we have to settle for. Glad to hear some people remember them, too. I miss them. Dennis
