I miss marshmallows
July 31, 2010 – 5:07 pmThe other day I realized it: I really really really miss marshmallows. I miss s’mores. I don’t think this is a pregnancy-related thing; I think this is a result of long-term marshmallow deprivation.
I don’t eat marshmallows because they are made from gelatin, which is made from boiling down animal parts (like hair, bones, ligaments, etc.). And I don’t eat boiled-down animal parts.
But I really want to eat a marshmallow. A melty-gooey marshmallow.
So, off I go, on the Great Vegan Marshmallow Hunt. Chicago Soy Dairy, the makers of the luscious Temptations Ice Cream, makes them; as does a company called Sweet and Sara. I will be making a trip to Whole Foods to see if they have any. Amazon has none, and neither does Pangea.
Meanwhile, has anyone made vegetarian or vegan marshmallows? How do they turn out? Do they make nice s’mores?…

I HIGHLY suggest that you try Dandies…you might be able to get them online at vegan essentials if you can’t find them at whole foods. The Sweet and Sara one’s are good too, but if you want the authentic taste and texture of a marshmallow…DEFINITELY go for the dandies
