I believe a Mallo Cup was filled with marshmallow creme only (no peanut butter) but there was a bit of coconut in the chocolate on top.

These are my favorite (the mallo cups) I can only find them in Ohio around Halloween and Easter. I usually stock up (and gain weight)when I find them. They are much smaller than they used to be.

These are my absolute favorite candy! I just picked up a package of them at the Family Dollar store in Ellington, CT. They are much smaller. They look like a peanut butter cup but they are filled with marshmellow with cococut inside the top of the chocolate! Sooo good! ! !

I was just at the corner store and there they were. I was so excited because it brought me back to my early teen years. I immediately remembered the game. If you saved up 500 points (in coins it was $5.00), you would send the stack in to receive a full box! I remember doing that and even remember hitting the jackpot one time when I received a 500 coin on the card! I think about it now and I was like willy wanka, every day, heading to the store, looking for the ticket! I don't think they got smaller, we all got bigger!

I remember collecting those cardboard "coins" on the cards. If you collected 500 "cents", the company sent you a whole box of Mallo Cups. We did that in the heat of the summer one time, and my mom got really upset. It was a mess. We did that in the winter from then on.

I still see Mallow cups and the peanut butter version at the Dollar Tree and (believe it or not) at some hardware stores.

Mallo Cups were introduced by Boyer Bros. in 1947. Since 1970, these delicious treats have been sold by different parent companies, while maintaining the Boyer brand. Oddly, no vintage TV commercials. However, Mallo Cups (through promotional consideration) were given as prizes on different game shows. Most notably, the syndicated "Beat the Clock, hosted by Jack Narz (1971), and his replacement, Gene Wood (1972). This version of the show was produced in Montreal (to skirt the higher production costs in Hollywood, which prompted Narz to quit in 1972, due to travel-related expenses). Cartoon boy promotes the candy. "I want my Mallo Cup!"

Mallo Cups are wonderful. I like the very soft marshmallow center and the little bit of coconut hidden in the chocolate on the top. We saved the coins, but never sent them in, as we would have never saved enough to do so (candy like this was only an occasional treat). Instead, we cut the round coins out of the cardboard and used them as play money. I think only once did we ever get a 25 cent coin - all others we got were only 1-10 cents. About 10 years ago I found a similar candy called Valomilk, but the marshmallow is much runnier and it has no coconut. More expensive, too.

While scanning the Digital Comic Museum, I came across a back cover ad for Mallo Cup. An issue of Little Max Comics by Harvey Funnies from 1958. An offer to send in a quarter (to Altoona, PA) and receive 100 different foreign postage stamps, plus a coupon for two free Mallo Cups. Little Max was an enterprising four-year-old who couldn't talk (only whisper), and tried diligently to impress a girl his age who was in a wealthy family(Max was poor, but was the ward of comic boxer Joe Palooka).

Mallo Cups melted in the mouth and were absolutely divine! One of my favorite confections that I would find in my plastic jack o’lantern when trick-or-treating on Halloween
