Malvavisco in Spanish as others mentioned, but in Chile we also call some varieties "guagüitas" (little babies) for some reason
Just marshmallow in Brazilian Portuguese. Natives tend to pronounce it closer to something more like mah-she-mello, in my experience.

Foam candy
I Italian they are just "marshmallows", but interesting enough, in the Ghostbuster film Italian's dub it was translated with "gnocchi di lichene".
