“Mallomars are only sold in New York and New Jersey and nobody else knows what they are”

Mallomars are cookies, first introduced in 1913 by Nabisco,  with a graham cracker base topped with marshmallow, and coated with dark chocolate. The chocolate melted in the summer, and the product is usually sold only from September until April. Mallomars are mostly sold in the New York metropolitan area and have been popular in the Jewish community.

Wikipedia: Chocolate-coated marshmallow treats
1913, United States, Mallomars
In the United States, Mallomars are produced by Nabisco. A graham cracker circle is overlaid with extruded marshmallow, then coated in a thin shell of dark chocolate. Mallomars were introduced to the public in 1913, the same year as the Moon Pie (a confection that has similar ingredients). The first box of Mallomars was sold in West Hoboken, New Jersey (now Union City, New Jersey).
 
Mallomars are generally available from early October through to April. They are not distributed during the summer months, supposedly because they melt easily in summer temperatures, though this is as much for marketing reasons as for practical ones. Devoted eaters of the cookie have been known to stock up during winter months and keep them refrigerated over the summer, although Nabisco markets other chocolate-coated cookie brands year-round. Eighty-five percent of all Mallomars are sold in the New York metropolitan area.

In Canada, mallomars are called “Viva Puffs” and they have fruit in them. Because my home country refuses to leave well enough alone in how far it’ll go to prove it’s not America.

So my dads family always buys boxes of mallomars as soon as they become seasonally available which happens to coincide with the Jewish high holidays, and as a result I have spent my entire life thinking that mallomars are a traditional Jewish delicacy
