Marshmallows fall from the sky at annual Michigan Easter event

Candy rained down at two Detroit-area parks as children raced to collect thousands of soft treats dropped from helicopters.

The annual Marshmallow Drop is hosted by Wayne County Parks. Hundreds of children cheered as the helicopter headed towards the crash site.

A bag containing thousands of marshmallows was emptied onto the waiting grass as organizers warned children not to eat the treats.
