However, modern marshmallows don’t actually contain any marshmallow root. Anyway better than the marshmallow tea; if you are genuinely stricken are Thayer’s Slippery Elm Throat Lozenges http://www.thayers.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=1 Not candy at all, though strangely mucilaginous and actually a little gross those a really effective.

If your throat is just tickly and what you really want is a treat nothing tops a cherry Luden’s. I agree with you, not icky at all and basically candy.
