It's hard to believe that J.K. Rowling introduced the world to Butterbeer 18 years ago, with the release of Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban.

It's crazier, still, to see how the drink has taken on a life of its own, inspiring a drink so popular that Michael Gambon - one of the actors to play the headmaster of Potter's wizarding school, Hogwarts - reportedly ordered eight pints at a time when he visited the Wizarding World Of Harry Potter theme park in Orlando, Florida. Not to mention the dozens of recipes out there bearing its name.

The caramel-meets-butterscotch blend has become its own flavor profile, inspiring countless treats (including a variety of Yuengling ice cream). Now, it can add one more to the roster: marshmallows.

BUY IT NOW: Butterbeer marshmallows, $7.95; XOMarshmallow.com

XO Marshmallow in Chicago has started selling Butterbeer-infused 'mallows at its shop and on its website, along with a Butterbeer latte. The former is made by creating a sauce infused with butterscotch and cream soda-esque flavors, swirling it into the gooey marshmallow before it sets.

Each 12-pack will set you back $7.95, and there's a catch: They're only available until September 31, so you'll have to act fact to get your hands on some. They were designed to coincide with Potter and his friends' return to Hogwarts, which happened every September in the books.

On October 1, XO Marshmallow will unveil its next flavor of the month. If you miss out on Butterbeer, though, don't worry - the shop offers a regular batch of surprising flavors to try, like bourbon, pumpkin spice, and champagne.
