In Dutch it's also marshmallows, but also commonly spek (bacon), spekjes (bacon pieces) or spekkies (in this case it's clear you're not talking about bacon).
-
Now you have me curious since this is the second language, why bacon?

The original candy looked like this: https://cdn.webshopapp.com/shops/282420/files/297921342/890x820x1/confiserie-a-lancienne-spekjes-roze-wit-doos-2-kg.jpg
Which with some imagination can be similar to bits of bacon. Marshmallows are somewhat similar candy so the name is used for that too at times.

Just a guess... They are both made from bits of a pig.

In our local dialect it's "nunnebiln" ~ nonnenbillen, which I'd translate to nuns buttocks.
We also have nuns farts, but that's another sweet for another day 😆
-
Can it please be another day already? I want to be initiated in the world of nun's farts.
-
Haha. They are a kind of small profiteroles with whipped cream.
Because, well, a nuns farts would be white of course.
