While stocking up on hot chocolate for the holidays, I came across a container of Rubicon Bakery Peppermint Marshmallows. Both kids have given them a thumbs up, citing their fluffiness and good peppermint flavor. Perfect accompaniment to their morning hot chocolate.
As I researched Rubicon Bakery to write this review, I discovered this 10 year old business is actually doing more than creating tasty all-natural products from scratch. They are part of a nonprofit organization, Rubicon Programs, that helps individuals in the San Francisco Bay Area overcome economic and social hurdles. Rubicon provides training, housing, employment and support services to people in need. Purchasing their products actually gives money back to the community.
In addition to peppermint and plain marshmallows, Rubicon Bakery also produces lovely cakes and tarts. Located in Richmond, California, Rubicon Bakery products can be found at Andronico’s, Mollie Stones, Bianchini’s, and Whole Foods. You can also order online through Williams-Sonoma.
