The veggie haribo doesn't taste as good...

Sweet and Sara marshmallows are really good! And I was surprised to see Dandies in Whole Foods...they must be new and improved because they are ten times better than when I first had them, years ago. My son and hubby have been using them in their hot cocoa and they don't even realize that they are vegan. Dandies are less expensive than Sweet and Sara, too. Big plus!

We get a case of norovirus every year at one of the assisted living facilities in the area. Poor seniors.

Oh no, that's a bad virus. Did you eat at Chipotle? I heard they had a few cases traced to there. In California I think.

Or maybe that was e. coli come to think of it lol.

But norovirus is horrible and long lasting. Are you still dehydrated?

Ah, now it makes better sense! (I'd taken a break from the boards--not just VB, but everywhere--for a while due to being really sick with that awful norovirus GI bug. Ugh. So I'm catching up now.)



Honestly, I cannot say yes or no, as it's been more than 10 years since I tried any, and I really don't remember which brands they were.

I didn't care for marshmallows much, but I loved marshmallow creme! Just licking a spoon, or mixing in cocoa.
The creme has egg whites and I never thought about making it another way. Like maybe the chickpea goop water? Aqua faba?

Glad you're feeling better!

Here's a link to Sweet and Sara: http://sweetandsara.com

I highly recommend the s'mores.

I think no whey jose's comment was based on the OP having made about half a dozen threads about marshmallows within the course of a couple of days.

Don't get me wrong, I love marshmallows! It's just that we were getting a LOT of threads about marshmallows.

Have you tried Sweet and Sara?

Huh?! I do! Well, not like "oh, I MUST have some marshmallows...for the first time in 28 years...or something horrible will happen!"

But I REALLY LIKED marshmallows, especially toasted. Brownish-black and crispy on the outside, ooey-gooey on the inside...yummy!

(I tried a few vegan/vegetarian marshmallows many years ago, but they were awful compared to the real thing.)

Nobody cares about marshmallows anymore.

Quite frankly, many vegans would also be fine with these as there are risks for cross contamination everywhere> It's not having a peanut allergy where you have a reaction just being near animal products. Lines are cleaned between products

What the **** is it with the marshmallows fixation?!

Dr. Oetker Baking Hi, they would be vegetarian. There are no animal products contained in Vege-Gel but it is produced on a line which also handles products containing milk and eggs, so there a risk of cross contamination which makes it unsuitable for vegans. Hope this helps

They said that. Damn.

No. I prefer to have my marshmallows vegan as well.

Yes, you've said that over and over and over and over. But unless you are willing to accept the remote possibility of trace ingredients, you cannot be 100% sure. Rather than dwell on marshmallows, perhaps you should consider other options if you want to be 100% sure. If you don't want to do that, please enjoy your remotely possibly not-vegan marshmallows and move on.

It's still vegetarian though. So as a veggie I'd be able to eat them - I would prefer them to be vegan, though.

Unless the product is certified vegan, you can't be 100% sure that there isn't a trace of something non-vegan in it. That's something we just have to accept. Does the vegan you plan to entice with your marshmallows have severe allergies to any of the ingredients that may have remotely possibly come into contact with the vegetarian gel?

Perhaps you should google on vegan candies and get something that is made by a vegan company so trace ingredients aren't an issue.

100% sure of what?

Basically if the actual ingredients listed are vegan (and there's no animal testing) then it's considered vegan irrespective of the 'May contain' warning.

If you eat wheat-based products then you are already consuming small amounts of insects that are in the flour. They don't have to label that as a 'may contain' though as eating insects doesn't generally cause anaphalaxis.

If you restrict your foods to the extent you won't eat anything labeled 'may contain' then you are setting yourself up for a difficult time.
