Leprechaun
A leprechaun (/ luchorpán) is a type of fairy of the Aos Sí in Irish folklore. They are usually depicted as little bearded men, wearing a coat and hat, who partake in mischief. They are solitary creatures who spend their time making and mending shoes and have a hidden pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. If captured by a human, they often grant three wishes in exchange for their freedom. Like other Irish fairies, leprechauns may be derived from the Tuatha Dé Danann. Leprechaun-like creatures rarely appear in Irish mythology and only became prominent in later folklore. Modern depictions of leprechauns are largely based on derogatory 19th-century caricatures and stereotypes of the Irish.
Leprechaun traps
Leprechaun traps are crafts used, typically in elementary school or by families with small children, to celebrate Saint Patrick's Day. Leprechaun trapping can be compared to leaving cookies out for Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. The traps are set up the night before St. Patrick's Day, and children awaken to discover signs that leprechauns (mythical creatures) have visited the trap. According to the tradition, one must believe leprechauns are real to trap one. The trap is traditionally made by young children the night before St. Patrick's Day. Once trapped, Leprechauns may grant three wishes, and in many of the folklore stories, Irish-folk have been tricked, and made foolish wishes.

Lucky Charms
Lucky Charms is a brand of cereal produced by the General Mills food company since 1964. The cereal consists of toasted oat pieces and multi-colored marshmallow shapes ("marbits" or marshmallow bits). The label features a leprechaun mascot, Lucky, animated in commercials. Lucky Charms was created in 1964 by John Holahan. General Mills management challenged a team of product developers to use the available manufacturing capacity from either of General Mills' two principal cereal products—Wheaties or Cheerios—and do something unique. Holahan came up with the idea after a visit to the grocery store in which he decided to mix Cheerios with bits of Brach's Circus Peanuts.
Marshmallow
A marshmallow is a sugar-based confection that in its modern form typically consists of sugar, water and gelatin whipped to a spongy consistency, molded into small cylindrical pieces, and coated with corn starch. Some marshmallow recipes call for eggs. This is the modern version of a medicinal confection made from "Althaea officinalis", the marshmallow plant. The word marshmallow stems from the mallow plant ("Althaea officinalis") that is a genus of an herb native to parts of Europe, North Africa, and Asia. The word "marsh" is used because the mallow plant grows in marshes and other damp areas.

Farley's & Sathers Candy Company was created as an umbrella company to roll-up many small companies, brands and products under a common management team.

Stay Puft Marshmallow Man
The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man is a fictional character from the "Ghostbusters" franchise, which sometimes appears as a giant, lumbering paranormal monster. As the chosen form of Gozer, it is the main antagonist in the film "Ghostbusters" (1984) and first appears as a picture logo on a prop package of marshmallows in Dana Barrett's apartment, on a graffiti advertisement on the building next to the Ghostbusters' HQ, and then in the climax of the film as the physical manifestation of the Sumerian deity Gozer. Subsequently, it has been incorporated into many other Ghostbusters media, including the animated series "The Real Ghostbusters", comic books, a stage show, and video games.
Chocolate-coated marshmallow treats
Chocolate-coated marshmallow treats are produced in different variations around the world, with several countries claiming to have invented it or hailing it as their "national confection". Originally the treat was made using cream (hence the Danish name "flødeboller" (cream buns)), but the filling was later made from egg whites to help industrialize production and improve shelf life. Many languages used to call these treats by phrases or compounds using a counterpart to negro (e.g. "negro's kiss", "negro bun"); most but not all of these are increasingly being avoided, especially in formal writing, in favour of replacements such as "choco-kiss".
Delayed gratification
Delayed gratification, or deferred gratification, is the ability to resist the temptation for an immediate reward and wait for a later reward. Generally, delayed gratification is associated with resisting a smaller but more immediate reward in order to receive a larger or more enduring reward later. A growing body of literature has linked the ability to delay gratification to a host of other positive outcomes, including academic success, physical health, psychological health, and social competence. A person's ability to delay gratification relates to other similar skills such as patience, impulse control, self-control and willpower, all of which are involved in self-regulation.

Teller of Pittsburg State University in the Winter 1988 issue of "The Baum Bugle" and appears regularly in Oz fandom).

Circus peanut
Circus peanuts are peanut-shaped marshmallow candy. They date to the 19th century, when they were one of a large variety of unwrapped "penny candy" sold in such retail outlets as five-and-dime stores. The most familiar variety of mass-produced circus peanuts in the 2010s is orange-colored and flavored with an artificial banana flavor. Confectioners originally distributed an orange-flavored variety that was only available seasonally due to a lack of packaging capable of preserving the candy. In the spring, five-and-dimes sold circus peanuts as penny candy. In the 1940s, circus peanuts became one of the many candies to become available year-round owing to the industrial proliferation of cellophane packaging.
