The marshmallow as it is today, is a nineteenth century invention, but the origins of the marshmallow derive from ancient Egypt where it was a honey-based candy flavored and thickened with the sap of the root of the Marsh-Mallow plant. The root of the marshmallow plant was used up until the 1800s when its use was replaced with gelatin as a thickening agent.
