S'mores. She loves them to pieces, and while she (for obvious reasons) can't carry one around on her at all times, she has the next best things-- a little s'more plushie she made by herself, as well as a nice little bottle of s'more scented air freshener (though, she says, it's not quite as good).
Why ;;
S'mores are... happy, as she'd put it.
Mallow comes from a rather large family, made only larger by a few divorces and re-marriages; and being kind of in the middle age range of all the kids... well, it was easy to get lost in it all, especially during any kind of big gathering of everyone. She'd often hang back-- too old to play with the little kids, too young to keep up with the big kids, and the adults were all busy doing something else. But at the end of the day, whether it was Christmas, Halloween, or just a summer cookout, they'd all spill outside and light up a great big bonfire, and her grandparents would have everyone line up, and very carefully distribute graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows to everyone present, making sure to give a special compliment to everyone... and it seemed, to Mallow, they'd even give an extra one or two to her, especially if it had seemed like an especially lonely day. Even now that she's grown, Mallow loves nothing more than to pop the necessary ingredients into the oven, enjoying the gooey treat and all the wonderful memories it brings back; sneaking up before dawn with her little cousins to shake the gifts under the tree, competing to see who had the best costume and the most candy (and the inevitable late night vigil ensuring no one tried stealing from her hoard), swimming and building sand castles... and then, after that, she might pick up the phone and call a nearby relative, just wanting to spread the sweet and keep those memories as alive and fresh as possible.
