 It won't let me post a link. I found a recipe for Moon Pies on All Recipes. It was under sandwich cookies, under filled cookies, under (duh) cookies. There are probably some other comprable recipes on the site too. I think you could veganize it fairly easily with some egg replacer and soy milk (sour it with a tiny bit of lemon juice or vinegar for "buttermilk"). Earth Balance and Spectrum make non-hydrogenated shortening made from Palm oil.

| vegagitator | Kojel and Emes' "gelatins" are made with carageenan and vegan (careful, they may make non-vegan ones too). Hain Superfruit dessert jel is vegan too. Pangea Vegan Products has their own brand of VeganSweets dessert Jel mix. |

It's not  Dannon used to make their fruit on the bottom yoghurts with fruit pectin and moved to gelatin. Jerks.

Dannon yogurt was on sale for a super deal last night, so I bought some. This morning while we were eating it, my husband noticed that "kosher gelatin" is in the ingredient list. Has anyone ever found out whether Dannon yogurt is vegetarian? Thanks!

| Fenguin | The gelatin used to make Count Chocula marshmallows comes from pig skin. |

I emailed... and, unfortunately, it is from an animal source No Moon Pies for me... (on second thought, that could be a good idea!)

Kosher Gelatin is probably from fish so it can be used with milk products. Boxes of fish gelatin usually has big statment of "kosher gelatin" on them, and that's probably the meaning in "moon pies" too, whatever it is.. |

| tearhsong2 | Kosher gelatin could be beef gelatin or fish gelatin--all it means is that it's not from pork and that it's so processed that it's not considered an animal byproduct anymore. |

| froggythefrog | Kosher gelatin is pareve, which simply means that it is so removed from the animal that it is no longer considered an animal product. This means it can be agar agar, beef, etc. |

| Loki | Wouldn't the ingredients list on the side of the kosher gelatin explain what was in it? |

| IamJen | I've not yet found a product in my HFS with kosher gelatin that is vegetarian. As mentioned, it would be non-pork gelatin, but it's mostly to do with how the animal is killed/prepared - that is, does the process follow Jewish dietary laws. |

| kpickell | Kosher gelatin means non-pork gelatin. It could still be beef gelatin. You won't know unless it says. |

In practice, kosher gelatin is usually made of agar-agar - a plant (seaweed) derivative.

Most kosher gelatins are also vegetarian.
http://www.ochef.com/199.htm Does this mean that kosher gelatin is vegetarian? If this is true... than Moon Pies are vegan
