This winter elevate your hot drink with Dreamallows stuffed marshmallows! Milka Gordillo is the genius behind her creactions and handcrafts these delectable treats for any occasion. Read more about how ClearBags has helped her business!

Tell us a little about your company:

I have an Associates in Business Administration & International Business from Florida International University in Miami. Later on I enrolled at Johnson & Wales University to complete the Baking & Pastry program. Shortly after graduation I set myself a goal of starting my own business and with that, Dreamallows was born.

Dreamallows started out of my home kitchen as many new ideas and products do. Dreamallows are not your regular store bought marshmallows. They are handcrafted and individually stuffed. Dreamallows are made in small batches using natural ingredients to be able to create a true airy fluffy mallow where no preservatives or corn syrup are used. Each Dreamallow is individually stuffed with a flavored ganache using Callebaut German Chocolate which provides the consistency and the perfect balance of sweetness. Dreamallows is not just a sweet treat, but an experience of taste, consistency, crunchiness, fluffiness, sweetness, and deliciousness, all in one bite. We pride ourselves in using ingredients of the highest quality like Madagascar vanilla, Kosher Gelatin, Callebaut Dark Chocolate.

What makes your product unique?

Stuffed Marshmallows… need we say more?! These are delicate, airy, and sweet morsels. Dreamallows is a real thing. Each Dreamallow is handmade from beginning to the end, from cutting to wrapping each piece and packaging. It's all done by hand. We also have a S’mores cart to add to any event. They are definitely a top treat at any party.

How do you package your products and what ClearBags™ products do you use?

We began using the truffle boxes, since we wanted packaging that really shows off our product.. These boxes are are a perfect fit for my product so that they are secure, but not squished. Stuffed marshmallows can get really messy! [CNDY196]

We also use lots of heat seal bags to keep our product fresh. The options are endless and they match my custom creations. I have loved using the Flat Crinkle bags [FCB1]

Where do you sell your product?

We sell our marshmallows online at www.dreamallows.com and our local West Palm Beach Greenmarket. We will be opening a retail location in Fall 2019.

How long have you been working with ClearBags™ and how does ClearBags™ help you succeed?

We started using Clearbags products 3 years ago when we were looking for a packaging company that had items that speaks to our brand. It generates a lot more sales and helps the product shine.

We ABSOLUTELY LOVE CLEAR BAGS! The customer service is great and they have a speedy turn around especially when you need an item quickly.

What one piece of packaging advice would you give to other business owners?

The advice I have for other business owners regarding packaging is to sample! That was one thing that really drew me to ClearBags. I had so many questions in the beginning and was uncertain what would work best for my product. ClearBags suggested I sample multiple products and it was a game changer. I was able to try out the products at no cost to really see what I was going for. Be sure to know your brand and make sure that your packaging represents just that. If your product is delicious, fresh and unique your packaging needs to match.
