When did marshmallows come to Canada?

Marshmallows were introduced to Canada in the 19th century, around the same time they gained popularity in the United States. Initially, they were made from a sap extracted from the marshmallow plant, but by the late 1800s, commercial production shifted to using Gelatin and sugar. Over time, marshmallows became a popular treat in various forms, including the classic roasted variety. Today, they are a staple in Canadian cuisine, especially in campfires and desserts.
