Vegan Marshmallows: Win 'Em Here!

A chocolate-marshmallow sandwich!
marshmallow1.jpg

Marshmallows have never been on my list of "most missed desserts," but when I recently heard about a New Zealand company that sells vegan marshmallow kits, the wheels began to turn and I started thinking of other ways to use marshmallow mixture before it sets into squares. Then there was the "aha!" moment when I realized it could possibly be whipped up into the perfect meringue-like topping.

So you can't imagine how happy I was when Angel Foods, the company mentioned above, actually contacted me about testing its vegan marshmallow kits. Of course I said, "Hell yeah, but only if you'll donate a kit for my readers too!" (Contest details below.)

I just received my kit, and I must say that it does seem intimidating at first. Two packets of powdery white substances—I, too, wondered how many alarms that set off—and a seemingly complicated set of instructions (and you have to supply your own water, starch, sugar, syrup, and vanilla). But after reading the instructions, I realized that it's not complicated at all—you just need the proper tools (a candy thermometer and a stand mixer being the most important) and patience. I had neither.

Vegan lemon meringue bars

I have to admit that I skipped the thermometer and just eyeballed it, and I also used a hand mixer instead of one on a stand, which the instructions do not recommend. I probably rushed the mixing process, too, because I felt like my arm was about to fall off, but with that said, the marshmallows still turned out great! Light, sweet, and totally addictive.

Half of the mixture was placed in a pan to cool and then later cut into squares. They are honestly much tastier than I even expected. The other half was added to the top of lemon bars for a meringue-like topping. For the meringue, I mixed the marshmallows halfway through the cooling process to try and create additional air pockets for lightness. This probably wasn't necessary and made the meringue look not-so-pretty, so I recommend piping it or scooping it onto your already-baked bars or pie as soon as it's done mixing. Regardless of how it looks, it tastes exactly how I remember lemon meringue pie.

Edith Kirkland :

If I won the vegan marshmellows I would share them with others in my family and try to open their mind to the vegan lifestyle. I think it is important to be healthy and in order to do so you have to care about what you are putting into your body. In addition, rewarding your self with good food causes dramatic changes in your attitude. Helping you to make a difference in others lives.

kittee :

I'm wanting to try these, I've heard so much about them. If I win, I'll make them up and probably make fudge with 'em.

xo
kittee

I will make myself vegan mallows for s'more-making round the campfire this summer as I go off to camp for six weeks in Utah and Montana with my omnivorous geology classmates on our field camp cours, so I won't feel left out!

Liza :

I would make all sorts of vegan deserts that call for marshmallows...such as crispy treats. I would also love to make some for my hot chocolate.

Larry Miller :

Thirty years plus a vegan and thirty years without smores.
Need I say (s)more?

Jamie :

If I win the marshmallows, I'll use them to win friends and influence others. Seriously, I bake a lot for the professors, staff, and students in my department (Nuclear Engineering). I would love to show them that there is nothing I can't do within a vegan diet! I always enjoy watching some middle-aged men enjoy sweet treats, and then casually mention "Yeah, I brought those", which everyone knows means "they're vegan!"

Lauren :

What wouldn't I do with them?! I would throw them in cakes and brownies, make s'mores and for some reason I have an urge to dip them in chocolate.

Shawn :

Wow, vegan marshmallows! My son absolutely loves marshmallows - when he was 5, he wrote a letter to Santa that requested only a Leap Pad and some marshmallows for Christmas that year. Once we found out about where gelatin comes from, we dropped marshmallows from our shopping lists, much to his disappointment. I would absolutely love to be able to watch him enjoy his favorite desert again!

I wish to try one of thouse cuz here in brazil we are missing stuff like that... all I can get is tofu :P

Danielle :

Since becoming vegan, marshmallows are one of the treats I've missed the most! I always loved making rice krispy treats and s'mores. I would love a chance to try these out to share with my my friends and family who often don't understand there are still a plethora of food choices even if you don't use animal products.... plus I would love to have rice krispy treats back in my life!! :o)

Kimberly :

My vegan marshmallows are going camping with me! They'll make some delicious non-creepy s'mores!!

Nehal :

If I win, I would distribute the vegan marshmallows to my students so they could learn that compassion can be delicious!

Deena :

I would love to use marshmallows to make some fantastic Rice Krispy treats, which I haven't had in years. I might even make them with peanut butter too...mmm!

Kayla :

If i won i would show everyone that vegan and other vegetarian meals are just as delicious as those meals that contain meat and animal products. I would let all my friends taste them and they would then help me promote the true meaning of being a vegetarian.

bex :

I've been wanting to try these as well. I don't have a stand mixer so I'm glad to hear it can be done without. I can't wait to try these as smores! Yet another delicious item to further convince my staff to go vegan!

Teri Begin :

If I win, I plan to host a big bonfire night at our house, and do an all-vegan bbq, with vegan smores as the dessert, and share my lifestyle and the horrors of animal cruelty (that will be the "ghost stories" around the campfire) with my friends and family!

Megan :

If I win a marshmallow kit, I'd use it for my planned Sneaky Vegan Dinner Party for my naysaying omni friends.

The Sneaky Vegan Dinner Party, as I imagine it now, would consist of me making a fabulous multi-course candlelit feast, complete with awesome vegan wines. As my friends know me to be a vegetarian, they'll certainly know there wouldn't be meat in any of the dishes but they'll have no idea they're vegan. At the end of the night, I'd let the proverbial cat out of the bag and watch their amazed realizations that vegan food can be so tasty.

Using these marshmallows for a dessert would be so very sneaky and would make the reveal all the more awesome. I'm also notorious for eschewing marshmallows on sweet potatoes at our Thanksgiving gathering. They saw my refusal as an inconvenience. How delicious--literally--it would be to use vegan marshmallows to get them back.

Danielle :

Marshmallow is one of the things I miss the most! My boyfriend and I go camping every year and roasting them around the campfire would add to memories.

I'd love to say I have lofty culinary aspirations for those marshmallows (if I win the kit), but I imagine I'd eat most of them plain! I think it'd be fun to sandwich them between amaranth graham crackers with some vegan chocolate for s'mores, though, too.

Mike :

"Hell yeah, but only if you'll donate a kit for my readers too!"

Hell yeah is right! Thanks Amy, you rock.

Anthony :

S'mores!!!!!AHHHH. Need I say any'smore'. I Just really would like s'more of those marshmallows. OK thats enough....

Nancee :

Hello (long overdue) Vegan Fluffer Nutters! Your time has come! :)

Sara MacKenzie :

I would LOVE to roast marshmellows over an open fire again here in Maine!

Alexis Reesor :

I want to share the vegan marshmellows with coworkers and family members. They are not so accepting of my new vegan lifestyle. I would like to prove that vegans are not deprived, we are revived and healthy not eating the rotting insides of defendless animals.

Zane :

While that chocolate and marshmallow sandwich looks delicious, I've been jonesin' for a peanut butter and marshmallow sandwich for some time now.

Jenny :

If I were to win this I would make, a very deliciour and vegan lemon merangue pie, use for my hot chocolate, other disserts and make them for smores for out at camp for my carnivour friends, and not tell them until they ask why the smores were extra good this year. I make them every year at camp for everyone who come out to camp.

Marti :

As an ER nurse, frequent baker and fledgling vegan I would devour as much as I could at home! I'm thinking about using them as frostings for cakes, banana bread, maybe sprinkle some toasted coconut on top. How about tossed around with some nuts for something sweet & salty? If my daughter and I had any leftovers, which there usually are, I would share the rest with the staff at work & spread the happier vegan lifestyle!

jess :

this made my day.

Annalisa Unbedacht :

If I won vegan marshmallows I would make chocolate marshmallow sandwiches for everyone in my lit class. I recently delivered a speech about vegetarianism for that class and everyone liked it, if I made a vegan treat like the marshmallow sandwich they could see just how awesome being vegan really is!

Rachel :

I am a big nerd and I have a book of ancient Egyptian recipes (the ancient Egyptians supposedly being the culture to invent marshmallows) and I would use the kit to make one of those strangely ancient desserts and share it with my friends!

jenifer washington :

If I won the marshmellows I would pass them out to my kids friends at the neighborhood park in hopes they would tell there parents how good they are mostly how good for you they are!

My brother and dad recently built a fire pit in our backyard in time for summer, so I would definitely love the marshmallows to make s'mores and join in on my family's fun! I actually bought some (not home-made) vegan marshmallows a few weeks ago and was hoping to save them for a few weeks to participate in my family's many campfires at night, but when my entire (omni) family was so interested in the concept of a vegan marshmallow, I gladly let them try some- and boy, did they like them! The box was finished in about 5 minutes! So now I'm just enjoying the campfires without any sugary goodness, but some vegan marhsmallows to enjoy and wow my family even more would be great!

Jessica S :

My husband and I are going on a cross country road trip this summer. We'll need lots of vegan marshmallows to roast over the fire for smores and banana boats (bananas stuffed with marshmallows and chocolate chips then cooked over the fire).

Maureen :

Ahhh marshmallows! I haven't had them in years! Smores sound wonderful... and with hot chocolate would be delicious! I have a recipe for chocolate mousse that calls for marshmallows that I would make first! I need to try that recipe!

thea :

If I were to win these, and believe me I'd love to, as they are not available here, I'd definitely come up with something a little unusual. Of course, I love the classics, such as the vegan key lime 'cheese'cake with chocolate graham crust that I make a few times a year, and that would be delicious topped with a vanilla-scented marshmallow 'meringue', with a little flaked toasted coconut on top. As well as the ever-popular Ambrosia salad, made even more heavenly with the satisfaction of knowing it is cruelty-free. But, I have to say, as much as I would have to try those, I'd feel the nagging urge to save some so I could...'Experiment', per se. All the delicious and creative possibilities swarming through my head are making my mouth water, and if you'd be so kind as to choose me for the winner, my hollow-legged-never-ever-full-please-make-food-now boyfriend and all others I know would be happy to submit their tastebubs to me, and I will gladly post the recipe up here for others to enjoy. I am only 18, but cooking (and eating) animal-friendly cuisine is my passion, and I'm sure I can come up with a winning recipe. I'm off to go cook up a vegan storm!

Paige :

I have been missing rice krispie treats! So I would make a big pan of them :)

Zoe Poeschl :

Smores of course!

s :

i used to make a nonvegan recipe called chocolate-covered cherry brownies that could be veganized - except for the marshmallows. these brownies were honestly the single most sinful item i've ever put in my mouth, and i can't wait to make them again...

Jennifer :

I would make vegan rice crispie treats, vegan fluffer 'nutter sandwiches and I suppose just stuff my vegan face with them. Great idea!!!

I would totally make vegan s'mores in the oven. :)

Linda :

I'd dunk them in some Mexican hot chocolate, simply because I've never had marshmallows in hot chocolate. :(

Then I'd rave about them on all the online groups I run so that more vegans could know they're out there! :)

Lena :

I would take them on a camping trip so my family and fiends could roast them over a fire! Also, I would totally make some krispy rice treats with them to share with others! mmmm...vegan marshmallows.

If I were to win the vegan marshmallow kit, I would try to make some Peeps for two very small rug rats who were so disappointed Easter Weekend when their mom and dad took them to a vegetarian place for dinner and they had real Peeps on the plates for the kids and were clueless to what was in them. Toby (age 3) and Rosa (just one) cried and cried and I have been all over trying to find a recipe to make them to no avail. I wish I could figure out a way to use the jarred mallow I got locally but it really isn't shapeable into bunnies and chicks. Pick me maybe?

Marc :

If I won these marshmallows, I'd share them with friends at home, and show them the possibilities of a vegan diet. Hopefully I'd be able to convert some of them. I would also either use them in recipes or send them to friends I volunteered with in Louisiana after the hurricanes to show how grateful I was for being turned on to my vegan lifestyle by them. If there'd be any more left, I'd hope to have some of that goodness for myself.

Beth Mickens :

Oh My if I had some vegan marshmallows! I'm sure I would find every way possible to use every single bit of them up...but what I miss teh most are rice krispy treats and s'mores!!! I would immediately make me some s'mores and some vegan rice krispy treats and since rice krispy treats are my husbands favorite snack, I would sneakingly give him some before telling him they're vegan and prove to him that vegan is still just as yummy and healthier!
Oh and I would have to make some candied yams nothing's better than sweet buttery topped with marshmallow yams or sweet potatoes!

Tracy :

If I won, I would make some for the kids to make s'mores while camping, throw some into brownies and eat some plain.
I have been dying to try one of these kits. I blogged about it on my site, but haven't been able to afford a kit.
BTW, if you want PB and fluff sandwiches, try Suzannes Ricemellow, it is vegan and great in pb & fluff sandwiches.

Amy :

S'MORES!! My boyfriend, I don't think, has had a s'more ever because there are really no decent vegan marshmallows out there.

Chloe Butchers :

I love marshmallows and other sweets, but being only 15 i should. If i were to win i would make them with my friends and eat them with them. So hopefully they would love the idea and be more encouraged to become vegan as they adore marshmallows even more than i do!

Rebecca :

My husband and I have only recently become vegetarians and have struggled getting our 4 small children on board. They are missing many of the convenience snacks they used to eat. This would be a wonderful treat for them to be able to have a yummy familiar taste that they ask for again and again!

Anonymous :

xanax :

Jenny :

I'd love to win these! I think they'd be great cut into a big square to float on top of hot chocolate! (Not very original, but tasty!)

Daneen :

Winning this wonderful prize would result in me making delicious vegan fudge and possibly some rice krispie treats. Yummy!

Justin :

i've been waiting for something like this for the longest time! i have a whole list of things that i would like to try. topping my list are fudge and rice crispies! my non-vegetarian friends were surprised when they found out what was in marshmallows and now theyre excited to try these vegan marshmallows if i win them!

Amanda Hammaker :

Hilary :

Vegan marshmallows oh my! Hot chocolate, rice crispy treats, fudge, s’mores….I will be the most popular person at all the potlucks!

Cinde Shields :

My five year old has recently been diagnosed with Celiac Disease (Gluten Intolerance) and has also decided she does not want to consume animal products. She has given up most of her favorite foods as a result. She often comments that she misses marshmallows the most. I would be most grateful to give her the chance to enjoy them once again.

Oooohhhh..... I have'nt had marshmallows in years! I don't think I even remember what to do with them!

Dawn Bates :

It would be hard to choose between Smores and Rice Crispy Treats. Mmmmmmm

Mya Brooks :

Make smores and Fluffernutters, of course!

Otu :

I'd share them with my boyfriend and all other friends who think veganism is all about giving up everything but carrots!

linda :

Roasting marshmallows is one of my favorite things to do when i go camping.

tay :

vegan can be very hard to b

Phyllis Davis :

I am currently changing over and leaving meat behind.I don't know why I did'nt do it sooner as I never was much into meat. I am trying new things and looking for my special tastes.Some things will take some getting used to and others are pretty darn good.I would love to give these a try and share them with the kids and grandkids.I am trying to change some of the way they eat also..lol..

Joan Coussoule :

jolene :

i woud have smores for the first time in years.

Elizabeth Weiss :

Being a Kosher eating vegetarian, it is very hard for me to find kosher marshmallows with no gelatin in them.
If I win this, I will dance in the streets! No gelatin! vegan and kosher...yay! Besides for dancing, I will also make these for mother's day. My mom would love these, being that she eats kosher just like me!

Sonia :

I think that everyone in the world should have access to vegan marshmallows.

Denise :

I would take them on my vacation to Yellowstone this summer.

ADrienne Gordon :

AnneMarie DeRemer :

Les :

Crispie treats.... oh, how i've missed them. I would love to try this kit so I could make some (not to mention making all the other wonderful marshmallow desserts that i've been without for so long).
I'm going to check out the Angel Foods company immediately!

Fiana Shapiro :

If I won this marshmallow-making kit, I would be totally excited because for some reason marshmallows are just about the one food I really miss since becoming vegetarian. They're just so sweet and creamy and..marshmallowy...
I would cook up a batch to share with all my neighbors around a bonfire in our backyards, convincing them that you don't need gelatin to make a good marshmallow. Of course, I would also send some to my sister, who is just as marshmallow deprived as I am.

jim anderson :

smores- camping season is nearly upon us

LasVegasSteve@happyretrogirl.com :

Marshmallow cream topping for deserts RULE!

Jason :

I would make smores.

I WOULD GIVE IT TO MY VEGAN GRANDAUGHTER.

Laura W :

I will eat them. I gave up all marshmallows and marshmallow fillings a long time ago and I do miss them.

Mia :

Chocolate cake (with vegan ingredients) & marshmallow icing. Mmmm...

Jessie A :

I would defiantly make vegan smores. Yum, warm marshmallow and melty chocolate. Heaven!

Linda Lansford :

vegan deserts that call for marshmallow

jilly :

I've been looking for vegan marshmallows since I chose the vegan lifestyle a year ago. I've made vegan fudge out of dark chocolate and I would love to make a rocky road fudge (something I greatly miss from my meat n cheese days). Pb and faux "fluff" sandwiches. Hope I win! Need I say more?

sarah lipari :

just became a vegan last year...and i miss marshmallows soooo bad

Kyle Banderman :

I am in the middle of trying to go vegan. I am vegetarian right now. If I won these marshmallows I would look for a vegan recipe to use them in.

Carrie :

What wouldn't I do! I haven't had marshmallows in so long (been vegan 10+ years). I'd probably start by eating one out of the bag.

dorothy lazorchik :

neat prize I would make crispy treats

Alanna Roberts :

I would show my friends and family that it isn't hard to be vegetarian, or vegan, and you don't have to give up the things you love. Also, I would share them with my vegan and vegetarian teachers.

Burton Bathrick :

great

Olivia Robinson :

Mmmmm... I would definitely use the kit to make good old traditional toasted marshmallows rolled in toasted coconut. Tasty.

Melissa Reeder :

If I won this I would make rice krispy treats with the marshmallows for my little girls and their cousins. YUMMY!

Barbara :

I am living in South Korea teaching english and it has been quite a struggle to be vegan here. I have been very creative and discovered how to make my own nut milks and tofu mayo. But there has been no way to satisfy the marshmallow craving. If i win them i will have to hunt down an oven to make them in since ovens are not a common house hold item and then i think i would be too excited and just eat them plain.

Jenna :

I really miss marshmallows. I've been vegan for 11.5 years. I especially miss a chocolate roll that has marshmallows in it that my grandma used to make. Kind of like chocolate fudge with marshmallow and she kept it in the freezer. Yum-O! I also really miss rice krispie treats, and the meringue for lemon pie!

Jennifer Short :

I'd love to make Rice Krispie treats for some friends who keep kosher.

Jess :

After getting over the over-excitement of winning something, something vegan at that(!), I would anticipate every day until they got to my doorstep. and when they did i would go on a complete baking crazzeee. Since school and finals will be over, it will be my celebration! I will make all the fav sweeties such as PEANUT BUTTER fudge, rice crispies, smores, smore icecream, and of course roast them YUM! This will continue until i have no more, but while i have them i will share them and flaunt all the goodies that can be made with these decadent VEGAN marshmallows!

Judith Rachmani :

If I won, I'd cut the marshmallows into squares and roll the squares in toasted coconut flakes.

I'll try some vegan s'mores, then maybe just eat them straight.

Pamela Peters :

As a new convert to the vegan way of life, I would use the marshmallow kit as a learning tool for my eight year old daughter who believes that this new change in our lives is the end of the world. She doesn't want to support the meat industry but is finding that it's more deeply embedded in her cupboards than at first glance. I want her to know that making a stand for the welfare of gods other creatures doesn't have to be at the cost of a normal childhood.

Oooh...We run a vegetable farm and love to have bonfires with our staff & friends during the summer. I have missed roasted marshmallows like nobody's business, so that's where these would go. And maybe a little pan of Krispie Treats.

Mmmmm.....

Leanne C :

I would really love to win the vegan marshmellows. I miss having smores with my friends at a camp fire, or having so many deserts that envolve marshmellows.

Libby :

I'd use them for bake sale treats to support my favorite cat rescue organization. Meow!

~ Wendi ~ :

I'd make a little Stay Puft Marshmallow Man and bite his little head off!!! Been cravin' smores, too big time... Maybe I'll make a Stay Puft Marshmallow Man Smore, dude! Fun, delicious and saving the Ghostbusters ~ XOXO

Debbie Schwagler :

I did not know they had animal ingredents in them. I would like to snack on these vegan marshmallows

Debbie Criss :

sandy :

yum

Courtney Bitters :

I am just beginning my journey to a vegan lifestyle and am hoping that my tastebuds are happier than ever.. with this marshmellow mix i will definetly make one of my famous 'chocolate' tofu pies and top it off with the marshmellow instead of whipped cream! yummy

alex :

if these are available why do people still eat non-vegan these would be very useful

sarah :

I'm gonna take em camping!

Julia Magrath :

Oh my gosh, if I won these I would put them in my organic hot chocolate and be lovin' life!

Kirsten :

I would have to make those lemon meringue bars!

Blaire :

If I get lucky and win the vegan marshmallows I will use them in treats I give my little Wenesday night 'Pray and Play' class (3 & 4 year olds) at the Gulf Shores United Methodist Church! Little kids can't get enough of sweets!!

Beth :

I would use them to make these wonderful s'mores cookie bars, which I would share with my friends who think vegans are crazy. While they are raving about how great these are, I would tell them they are eating a vegan dessert and watch their jaws drop! Hopefully while their mouths aren't full.

Andrea :

I would make my favorite fruit dip that includes marshmallow as an ingredient. It is deeeeliccious!!!

Jane :

I'm a vegetarian, and I'm trying to go vegan. I decided I was going to try it the other day, and I have been avoiding pretty much all school foods, so I pack myself vegetables and fruits. I would love to be able to enjoy marshmallows again- I haven't had them since this winter when I found out what they have in them. Last time I ate meat by accident, I threw up because I wasn't used to eating it. So now I have vowed to go vegan for good, because the sight of those animals in cages makes me want to retch... or free them.

Alva Kennedy :

I will eat them! And thoroughly enjoy this yummy sounding treat. I will be like a kid with candy!

Lindsay :

Marshmallows were originally made with the extract of the homonymous plant (marsh mallow)becuase they act as a gelling agent. The Egyptians squeezed sap from the mallow plant and mixed it with nuts and honey. Sadly, most commercially manufactured marshmallows now use gelatin instead of real marshmallow extract because of the expense.

With this history in mind, I will use the Vegan Marshmallow kit to make a 2000 year old treat (minus the honey of course!).

Keeping it simple is best:
Mixed Nuts, Whole Grains, some flax a little organic maple syrup and Vegan Marshmallow Mix!
I plan to take this home-made nut bars on a hike with me this spring. The natural food will fuel my body along the way:)

A perfect spring-time snack!


Keith :

Hmmm... If I won vegan marshmallows, I would make them into Cocoa Rice Krispie Treats or other marshmallow snack and take them to school with me one day to share with my friends! (Especially my vegetarian friends!)

Dayna Dye :

Will have to use raw sugar to make these, since white sugar is filtered through animal bones.

I would make a treat that I had as a child: a layer of marshmallow, a layer of soft caramel (also hard to find in vegan format), covered in dark chocolate. See's Candies sells a non-vegan version called Scotchmallows. It's such a mouthwatering combination, I'd love the chance to try making it on my own.

Kathy Scott :

Ughy gooy chewy.

Naghma Husain :

my boyfriend loves vegan rice crispie treats. i would make him a batch!

amanda burns :

weird that this is going on, since i came to this site specifically to purchase vegan marshmallows. i remember them being in the peta catalog, and the ones in stores claiming to be vegetarian always have fish in them... gross! anyways, i did want them for camping ( smores), but i see that this is not a very original idea. yes, i would dip them in chocolate, too, like some others out there with good taste. i may even.. oh yes.. i'd dip them in pink and yellow sugar to make up for all of those years that i had to watch people eating my once favorite marshmallow peeps!!! i have written to the company who makes them to please remove the gelatin so i can once more get down on some peeps, but to no avail.... sorry this is not short.

Caitlin :

If i won the vegan marshmallow kit, I would definitely have a bonfire and roast them!! Maybe even some veggie dogs too..mmm.

christopher h :

love to make s'mores

Jamie Shaffer :

I bet they'd taste good on my boyfriend!

Nadia :

I have missed eating marshmallows for awhile now,going on 3 years AND to find out there are infact Vegan Marshmallows! I just gotts have them, and i would absolutely LOVE TO WIN the kit!
haha I'm pretty excited and i have some ideas to use them to make new recipes.
:]

Kelli :

I would love to win these! Vegan marshmallows are great as a light sweet snack on their own or, of course, in s'mores!

Jen Burke :

Mmmm...marshmalows and memories of childhood...I'd love to win the kit to share the fun of marshmalows with my toddler. Hot cocoa, smores, crispie treats, rocky road brownies...the possibilities are endless!

Staci :

I just purchased a home and would love a chance to toast some marshmallows in the backyard this summer!

Kathy Conley :

Make s'mores

Nika :

I would whip up awesome vegan desserts with the vegan marshmallows and show all my friends that you can eat delicious and completely guilt free foods. :)

sandra kao :

i would give them as a gift to my half-sister

lauren :

if i won, i would make delicious treats for my friends who are not vegan/veggie. then after they are done eating them saying how delicious they were i would tell them they just ate a vegan mallow.
and they would praise my thoughtfulness of saving the animals.

Valerie Mabrey :

campfire snack

claudette flanigan :

I have always wanted to try these. I think they sometimes look too pretty to even eat, but hey, I can do it! Actually, we just bought a little copper fire pit for our patio and I can see us making Super special S'mores with these. They probably would deserve Godiva chocolate...wow, what a treat! So, in other words, PLEASE PICK ME!

Elsa :

If I won, I will be so happy that (i`m sure)I will cry

Samantha :

Winning Vegan Marshmallows would mean the world to me! Giving up smores was one of the harder things to do when i became vegan. Since i am young and still live at home with my mom, i dont get much say in what items i can buy. especially off the internet since marshmallows are not available anywhere! also, i lovesharing my vegan creations with non veg friends to help them open up their minds on veganism. they would love to try vegan smores on our next camping trip :)

Alyssa Schell :

If I won the marshmallow kit, I would make the peanut butter krispie treats I have been craving for a year now.

Liat Zabludovsky :

I am currently writing an article for my school newspaper about vegetarianism and have already, before even publishing it, received a ton of feedback from people asking me about vegetarian and vegan lifestyles.

I promised that I would make a special vegan treat for the monthly bake sale (it raises money for the Myelin Project :]) and I think that these marshmallows would be absolutely perfect! Who knew that the most despicable snack of them all (boiled skin and bones!) could have such an animal-friendly twin!

Jordan :

I am 18 and am vegetarian, thinking myself of becoming vegan.

I have a vegan friend in college who is also wheat intolerant and lactose in tolerant- he feels he can't eat anything and that his food options are very limited and boring. It would be great if i could show him that they are not so limited, and im sure he would love these as he has a particulary sweet tooth.

Please consider me.

Many thanks

Yami :

OMG ! I would love to make some Toasted Coconut marshmallow patties !!!
That would be sooooooooo yummy !!!! Or some Toasted Coconut Carob Chip Marshmallow Delights - yep - my own ideas/ recipes !
But even the good old S'Mores would do ! YUMMMMY !!!!
I'd LOVE to win these babies !

tim hoerner :

If I won this marshmallow kit, I would make them with my girlfriend and our two young children. Then we would build a campfire and make vegan s'mores! Mmmmmmmmmmmmm.... delicious!

amanda :

i would totally bring them camping so we could make smores.

Kim Jeffreys :

I would cut them into clovers, stars and rainbows! And FINALLY be able to have those magically delicious Lucky Charms again!!!

Annette :

My families favorite snack is marshmallows. When I was a child we would eat them by the bagful. I would make s'mores which are another one of my favs. And if mixed properly, I bet you could fill a vanilla cupcake and make a "twinkie" too.

SaLLy :

I would give these kits to my friend who teaches 4th & 5th grade so that her class could all make them together. She always likes to do hands-on learning activities with her classes, and there are quite a few vegan kids in her classes. (I might ask for them to save one sample for me to try!)

katrina :

yum...I would take one of those culinary kitchen torches and lightly crisp the exterior of the marshmallow. Then I would skewer it, and dip it in a vegan chocolate fondue.

Rebecca Snodgrass :

make smores

Anisha :

I would share them with my non-veg friends so that they realize that its fun being a vegan and I don't starve and enjoy food as much or more than them.

karyn :

S'mores, S'mores and more S'mores! Washed down with hot chocolate topped with marshmallows!

Then I'd have to savor a few by themselves...nothing better!

YUM!

veganvixenmilwaukee :

mmmmm vegan smores, i love it! we just got a firepit so i'm so excited to try these ;-)

April :

My 2 daughters ages 9 and 5 went veg about 6 months ago. They were so upset at a girl scout camp out that they could not roast marshmallows! It was disappointing to know that one of their fav treats was an animal product. I would definitely let my sweet girls roast them and make smores!

Jemma :

that's really awesome,marshmallows seemed scary when I knew what was in them,and the vegan way just seems better,in taste and everything. I'd share them with my friends,family,anyone.

besides,they're cute :D

Marci Moss :

Wow! I would make smores! I haven't had those in forever.

Liz :

rice krispie treats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rose Chilibeck :

I live in an isolated small northern Ontario town in Canada. My husband and I are about the only vegans around and it can be difficult at times to find products like vegan cheese, marshmallows etc. I would love the kit as I really miss marshmallows. I would give some to my niece who has recently gone veg and is going on a camp out with school and want's to roast some with the other kids. The rest I would roast at our campfire this summer.
Cheers!
Rose

Linda Kozlowski :

Oh how happy I would be,
If vegan marshmallows were for me.
Rice crispy treats!
Who needs the meats!
So let me please win some for free!

Jenny :

Peanut butter + vegan chocolate +vegan marshmallows+puffed rice+pretzel sticks = vegan delicious.

monique :

Oh my that vegan marshmallow looks like heaven. i had no idea you could make vegan marshmallows but they look delicious

monique :

On Mother's Day I would like to try and make my mom vegan chimichangas. I don't even know how to make those traditional but she loves them. I would also try and make her vegan carrot cake because she loves carrot cake.

cara :

If I win I would make up alot of vegan peanut butter rice krispies treats. Yum.

If I win the vegan marshmallow kit, I'll go camping with all my friends and make delicious vegan s'mores for everyone. Camping&enjoying s'mores is my favourite thing to do, so veggie marshmallows are a dream come true! :)

Use them to make treats for a bake sale in order to raise money for the North Jersey Guinea Pig and Hamster Rescue, and to make rice krispies treats for "friends" of mine who always seem to forget that I don't eat "regular" marshmallows.

Anne Glock :

I think this sounds wonderful. I always loved marshmallows but the thought of the gelatin in them barfs me out. I would like to try this in a fudge recipe I have that calls for marshmallows. Would love to have it gelatin free.

Elise :

Since we became vegetarian, my son and I won't have sweet potatoes topped with marshmallows, something my sister-in-law always makes for every holiday. I would give her a bag and ask her to top her casserole with the vegan marshmallows! And we would also put them on hot chocolate! Thank you!

What wouldn't I do with them?!?!
Definately make a peanut butter and Marshmallow sandwich (I used to use Marshmallow creme...), Fudge, Rice crispy treats, S'mores, put them in hot chocolate...hhhmmmm, I wonder if you could toast them....I'd find out!

soleen :

oooo! if I had these I would share with my brothes and sisters to make smores when we go hiking!

I would probably make some hot chocolate, and som rice crispy treats for my son and husband, who have been jonesing for marshmallows ever since they got to try some homemade vegan ones a few years back.

As you may know, my state of Kentucky gets a bad rep for....well alot of things when it comes to animals. It's extremely hard to find vegetarian/vegan foods in such a small town, and it's even harder to live in a family and among people who are "good ole country folk" who see nothing wrong with meat being the big staple of their diet. However I've made it my mission to convert people to vegetarianism. And i've been somewhat successful, converting 2 friends from church, and my wonderful fiance to the veg lifestyle. However, I have an extreme love for cooking and I would love to not only tell people about my animal beliefs, but SHOW them that vegetarian foods can be good. Marshmallows are great for desserts, obviously, and what better way to win people over than with sugary, sweet desserts that will tempt their taste buds? I believe I could make really good use of this marshmallow kit showing people that vegetarianism is the sweetest way to live!

Pickles :

Yummy,can't wait to try these!

Lisa D'Antonio :

I would use these kits to make smores brownies for family dinners. I love shocking my family with vegan treats!!!!

OMG my husband's favorite snack is Smores! I'd love to make these with my husband and two year-old son and use them in some carob and graham cracker Smores when we go camping this summer!

Mara :

If I won, I would eat them. I haven't had marshmallows in about 17 years.

Megan McCoy :

Well I'll be honest. I'll make them and I'll eat them.

But I'll also make my lemon tartlets and turn them into lemon meringue tartlets, thus making my carnivorous friends' mouths water. This will cause them to eat said tartlets and exclaim "why vegan baking can in fact be delicious!" they will then realize that no deprivation is necessary to live a cruelty-free life style. The word will be spread. Angel Foods will be a new eco-conglomerate (a term I've just coined) and donate plenty of money to causes that will end suffering around the world. This will start a chain reaction. People will recycle all the time. Lush green fields will be present where dust lies now. Global Warming will be a term that was only used in the past. There will be no need for diplomacy for there is no suffering. The war in Iraq will end. China will get out of Tibet. My ex-boyfriend will appologize and also get really fat (not everything is altruistic). All this because you granted me with vegan marshmallows. For the sake of the world, I suggest allowing me to make them, and then to eat them.

Kate :

I'd use them for baked goods, and then pass them out at my office. I'd like our pediatric patients to know that just because they have to stop eating animal bi-products, they don't have to stop eating delicious goodies! Seriously, if you could only see their morose little faces when we say "dairy, meat, and (sometimes) gluten free"!

Heather :

mmmm...Vegan Marshmallows. What would I not do with these? I would most certainly be tracking down the recipe for the above-pictured Chocolate Marshmallow Sandwich. That looks so good. I also really miss Rice Krispies squares, so a batch or two of these are in order.

As for my camping trips? This will answer the question: "what will I do without roasted marshmallows???".

Chenoa Berg :

mmm........that picture is quite inspiring.

Stacey :

I am an avid baker (and a chocoholic, with wheat and gluten sensitivities/allergies - hobby and necessity are the driving forces behind my culinary endeavors -), and one of the things I do miss is not having a substitute for marshmallows, for such things like peanut butter confetti cake, as well as being able to make s'mores and banana boats over an open campfire. Recently, I was laid off from my design job (as my boss closed the business), so I have had a lot of free time to bake my vegan treats for friends and their families (economical gifts, from the heart)- winning the Angel Foods kit would be such a nice little pick-me-up, considering my lack of income at the moment. Having been vegetarian for 19 years, and vegan for the past 3 of those years, I have not had a marshmallow (or any gelatin-based food) since I was age 15. How great it would be to make such great 'comfort food' treats like crispy squares, 'dream puff' cookies, hot chocolate with marshmallows, as well as try out chocolate pies and lemon squares with a meringue topping (with advanced thanks for the inspiration)!

Elle :

I'm pregnant. Us vegan pregnant ladies have an especially hard time convincing others that we're doing the smart healthy thing for our little ones.
I don't think marshmallows will necessarily prove me right to all the naysayers but it'll certainly make me happy to ignore them while eating my baked yams in marshmallows, marshmallow brownies, and of course...hot chocolate.

Robyn :

My 5 year old son just loves marshmallows! He often requests a serving of Jet Puffed marshmallows for dessert after dinner.

I would love to try making these for him and see if I can win him over with a vegan variety. He loves to help me in the kitchen and I enjoy teaching him about measuring and following directions. He likes to taste as we cook!

This would also be a cool and non-preachy way to talk to him more about being kind to all creatures, animals and people, and how these marshmallows are different from what is purchased at the store.

geneva :

I would take them camping and roast them on a camp fire, and enjoy. thanks geneva

Kellie :

Ooh, rice krispie treats would be great...

Jenna, Oakland CA :

I'd cut significant shapes (stars, triangles, penguins), toast them to puff & brown them and serve to my best sweet-toothed pals with fruit for dippers into chocolate fondue! (both milk & dark choice--I have eclectic friends)

Tricia :

S'mores for me and the kids! I am always looking for alternatives for the kids to try (they are not vegetarians YET)

David Schkrutz :

The vegan marshmallows look delicious... for my girlfriend. She always talks about how much she used to like marshmallows but can't eat them anymore. Well were both college students in florida, and upon completing the year i having a camping trip planned. I think this would make an amazing addition to an amazing night. thank you

I'd stuff as many in my mouth as possible at one time just for kicks, then eat the whole batch in one 'gluttonous' sitting.
:)

Sonia Segura :

I would make my boyfriend his favorite, Lemon Meringue Pie. Of course it won't be exactly like his grandmother used to make it, but since I'm vegan(he's not, he's trying to become vegetarian) I refuse to use the recipe. Also his birthday is in June so it would rock if I both won the kit and got it in time for his birthday. If not, no biggie. I'll make him another vegan dessert, sans marshmallowy goodness.

Brooke :

I would love to have some vegan s'mores!!!

Mitzi :

I would eat them, make smores out of them, wear them (totally serioul,) share them, dance around them because I friggin' miss marshmallows more than any other food.... and you probably don't want to hear the rest. XD

Bella McDow :

I've been dying for some s'mores! So I'll probably make some if i win!

Anne :

Hello..I just love your website and what a coincidence I have been looking for an alternative to marshmallows either to buy or to make myself. I would make all sorts of desserts especially snacks for my daughter to take in her lunch for school. WoW.. that would be so GREAT..!!!. I have been to just about all the natural/health foodstores in Ottawa, ON Canada where I live and have had no success..

Thanks....

Misti :

If I were to win I would be able to give my 9 year old daughter and 1 year old son the chance to see what they are missing when the other kids in the neighborhood get to have s'mores but my kids don't.

Nicole :

Marshmallows are the treat my brother seems to miss most, he'll be so excited to hear about these.

Adelaide :

I'd totally share them with all my mates because they always give me s*** about not being able to eat all the lollies that they eat and they (playfully) tease me with them..which is quite mean in a way

kim :

WHAT WOULD I DOOOOO ....hmmm....
i think i would ... welll have to make some :D of course and eat eat some as i've missed marshmellows sooo much, then make some for my familly and friends tell them about how its gelitine free :) and how its been made without harming any animals
xxxx

Victoria :

Oh, that's an easy one! Before I became a vegan I made one heck of a Tiramisu. I've been trying to come up with a Vegan version, but so far nothing compares to what I used to make. I would use the marshmellows to replace the hand-whipping topping. Mmmmmmm!

Leslie :

Since January I have been living a vegan lifestyle and even got my carnivore husband eating vegan. I am a chef at heart and one of my creative outlets is creating delicious vegan recipes that even the meatiest of meat eaters will love and not even notice the lack of animal products. I would use this marshmallow mix to continue on with my culinary deceit!

I'm taking the families and children in Wisconsin who have a lost a father or brother in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan camping in October, and being a vegetarian myself I would very much like to "turn them on" to something veggie.
Using the product on our S'Mores is what comes to my mind for camping trip.

Respectfully-Judith singer

Mich :

Can someone please enlighten me on what s'mores are? I'm intrigued!

Lisa Piquette :

I would love to make these for my family! They love the remind me that I am "giving up so much" being vegan, and I kept trying to prove their is a yummy alternative for everything!

Marla :

Oh my goodness! They sound wonderful. I would love to make rice crispy treats with them. Or s'mores, or........Tons of marshmallow ideas are running thru my brain.

Michael Bennett :

Why I would make s'mores of course! I managed to find a different brand (pre-made) on a trip to Seattle last year and we made delicious camp fire s'mores with them.
I would love to be able to recreate that at home! Plus I have a candy thermometer, so I can make them just right.

One of the first things I learned to make for myself when I was a kid was lemon meringue pie. I thought it was nearly magic when the egg white would beat up to fluffy goodness with the addition of a touch of cream of tarter and some egg beaters in HIGH for a few minutes.

Having been vegan since 1991, I admit I've missed that kind of thing. I'll certainly make a lemon "meringue" pie with this kit when I get it, to the delight of my family & friends.

I'll also try it out a number of other ways - I bet you could use it to make a sort of vegan twinkie (light shortbread tubes with a marshmallow center)(vegans need to escape back to their childhoods too); try some brownies with a marshmallow center, and a layer of chocolate on top; hhhmmmmm . . . see how this would work with a few fun shaped cookie cutters I have to make marshmallows for s'mores this summer.

I'm sure I could dream up any number of uses for this. While I generally eat pretty healthy, wholegrains/brown rice and all that, sometimes a sweet treat is just the thing to make a day or event that much more fun.`With whole wheat pastry flour, non hydrogenated margarine and raw sugar.

elaine Jimenez :

i babysitt some kids and i really want to show them healthy food, that can also taste good!

Elle :

I was raised with many -a-saying, one was if you cannot hear, you will feel (nice) so if I won this little piece of heaven from Angel foods I would allow my friends and other loved ones to taste (since they are unable to hear). These marshmallow delights would open their minds (and tastebuds) to the glorious and harmonious world that is vegan eating. Instead of breaking bread; we would break smores over a campfire ... YUM!

Vanessa :

If I won the marshmellows, I would make lots o' rice crispy treats & eat lots of them by themselves during the process :)~ I would prove to everyone how truly delicious vegan food is and that we CAN make a vegan version of every classic food!!

Debbie Rose-Walter :

Simply put, I love Vegan marshmallows!

audrey :

i would force my co-worker to eat one! she has flirted with the idea of going vegetarian but will not take the plunge!

Ramona :

I am sixteen years old and my family does not like the vegan lifestyle but I can not help but differ. I am currently the only vegan in my family and if I were to get the kit for the marshmallows, I'd use them to teach my family that vegan foods don't have to be just vegetables

Shelly :

I'd take them to a cookout and impress my omni friends!

Carolyn Dooley :

I'f I won the Vegen marshmellow-kit I would
have a camp fire and invite
our family over and have smorse.

Kenley-Ann Noll :

If I won the vegan marshmallow kit, I would use them in a recipe in my Food and Nutrition class at school, as in my small town, there are only 7 or so vegetarians, and I think if we introduced more teenagers to how fun being vegetarian can be, there might be more.

i would make a Narnia snowcastle marshmallow cake for my 6-year old triplets birthday party! this stuff looks great! i thought I was going to have to use soy whip cream which would have made a droopy castle :)

Kristin :

Marshmallows, much as I hate to admit it, are probably the food I've missed the most since going vegan a couple years ago, but I always remind myself that all the delicious things you can do with them still aren't enough to make up for the suffering that goes in to them. If I won the vegan marshmallows, I'd be extremely happy, probably make s'mores with my friends, maybe make some rice krispy treats, maybe make some of that lemon bar from the picture (it looks amazing)... the options are endless!

wow, providencial! just a month ago i was looking for a recipe for vegan marshmallows and now i find this! oh, please, i would looooooove it!!

michael alvarez-toye :

Oh Bliss! Oh Joy!
The orgasmic pleasures of rice krispie squares as they enter my mouth and tantalise my tastebuds, sending me into sensorial ecstacy....
Long having resigned myself to never again partaking of them-though taking solace in the knowledge that no animal would be killed so as to satisfy this addiction, i am over the moon with the awareness of such a kit appearing...
Friends will be able to delight in these pleasures too-we shall have 'mallow' evenings that will entail grouped orgasmic thrills...!
mmmmmmm.....

Sarah :

Pick me!!
Pick me!!
I can't wait to try these. I would probably dip them into melted chocolate.

OMG - The bubbles of creation are just bursting away in my head!! Maybe its a marshmallow anuerism with the only treatment being to try it out on everything...starting with the fudge of course then on to bigger better things...yum.

M K Ray :

We live in the heart of ranch country about 1.5 hours from a grocery store. And that store doesn't exactly cater to the vegetarian much less the vegan. I am lucky to sometimes be able to get veggie burgers and soy milk. But there's nothing like living around cows to show you the destruction and push you over the edge to swearing off meat forever. So what if I might be the only one in my county, vegan marshmallows would just be the most delectable and special treat.

Teresa Iovino :

I'm not sure where I would begin. I have several vegetarian & vegan friends, so we would have to make a sweet selection of treats to taste! I am currently thinking about Rice Krispy treats, hot cocoa with marshmallow, s'mores, yams with marshmallow, marshmallow + peanut butter sandwich and anything else Ican think of between now and when I get my hand on that kit!! :)

Himani :

My family and I have been vegetarians since, well, when we were born, so we never ate marshmellows. If I win the kit, I'm sure my family, my veggie friends and I would eat it all. Maybe even roast it over a camp fire if there is any left!

Keitherton :

Ooooooo, If I won the vegan marshmallow kit, Id make a decadent vegan chocoloate cake filled with vegan marshmallows and topped with organic strawberries.

Mmmm :)

Happy Birthday to me!!!

Tammy :

Personally, I don't like marshmallows. But, my hubby LOVES this stuff. So if I win, I'll make them for him. Wait, I'm a modern woman. I'll give him the kit and he can make 'em himself.

Juel :

I'm pregant so me and the baby would probably just roast them. Nothing is quite so yum as a roasted marshmellow. I used to just use a chopstick and the flame on the stove as a kid [ by kid I mean two years ago :P ].

Juel

Amanda Hawkins :

If I won the marshmallow I would definetely make some smores!! And some rice krispie treats!!! and then tell all my friends about them!!

Leah :

If I win, I will make them. I will eat them. When thoroughly convinced by their awesomeness, I will pledge vegan. :)

Joie Fe Nazarene :

If I won this kit, I would use it to make AWESOME Rice Crispy Treats to show up my sister and prove to her that Vegans can eat any DELICIOUS food that non-vegans eat without hurting any animals!!!!!! GO VEG!!!!!

Kathy :

Wow all those Ideas I am getting from the other comments plus smores and rice krispy treats and if they will toast then toasted camping and in hot chocolate. I would totally experiment coming up with all kinds of ways to use these ! Neat vegan kids can have rice krispy treats and smores and not have to be left out as they are at a lot of the time.

Doris :

I'll invite my friends over a vegan smores party! Vegan food is meant to be shared!

Jessica :

AH! vegan marshmallows? no way! hahaha woow yeah uhm, if i won these i would definitely be making s'mores and anything else i could think of that involves marshmallow-y like substances..haha....but, yeah i'm currently going from vegetarian to vegan and trying to get the rest of my family to go at least vegetarian and my sister is trying to go vegan or vegetarian but she really wanted s'mores the other day so she ate some marshmallows.. i was like "NOOO! DONT DO IT!" but she didn't listen to me ): haha so anyway yeah i probably sound like an idiot but yeah, winning this would be rad :D

steph :

if i got my hands on these packets i would make smores, i've never tried them before and people tell me they're so good. i would totally want to have this animal free marshmallows

Bella :

I would mix them with the treats i make at work that everyone loves. They don't know it's vegan but they will after the marshmallows. They might want to try more vegan dishes. Woohoo!

Leah :

With Vegan Marshmellows,(along with other vegan foods) I would teach my Pathfinders (a branch of Girl Guides (which is the same as Girl Scouts) ages 12-14) about healthy eating, vegan lifestyles and vegan s'mores. Coming from a community that is heavy into hunting and fishing, veganism is somethign strange and frowned upon. It would be a great eye opening experience for these girls.

Linda Bivens :

This would be a perfect gift for my daughter. She and I have been looking for vegan marshmallows and she is a vegan (I'm not but I support her) she is 16 and going to work in a health food restaurant and eventually wants to do some catering for vegans and health conscious people! I applaud her!
Now I will have to check this site for marshmallows and maybe surprise her! Her birthday is soon.

Judi Damon :

I would love to try these in hot chocolate.

Erika Sullivan :

I love vegan marshmellows.
I love vegan smores.
Gelatin is disgusting.
Yay vegan marshmellows.

Cristy Jackson :

Vegan marshmallows could make ANY dessert better! The sky's the limit! Fruit salads, s'mores.... yummy :)

Stephanie :

Lemon meringue pie is my favorite. Every birthday growing up, I had lemon meringue pie instead of cake. I would immediately test making meringue first, and then move on to marshmallows next!!

Heather :

If I won the kit, I'd make different flavors of marshmallow, like green tea or raspberry. I'd share then at my work's holiday party

Sinan :

I'd definitely be making square marshmallows, coated with toasted coconut to be served on their own, and plain to be used in s'mores and cocoa etc. Hoping these catch on and spread to local stores.

Kelly Braun :

Let's see, recipes for...
S'mores, check.
Bon bons, check.
Rocky Road soy cream, check.
PB & 'mellows, check.
Coconut soy cream pie, check.
Vegan marshmellows...
Vegan marshmellows...
Vegan marshmellows.........

Jessica :

Smores baby!

Rosanna :

Screw sharing them, I'm eating them all.

Emiliee :

To be able to do smores at camp this summer would be more than incredible!! Pick me! :)

Amanda :

Vegan Marshmallows? Wow! I will definitely be making my husband's favorite dessert, Rice Krispy Treats!

meg :

vegan marshmallows...hmmm...
interesting...well i'm not vegan but i'll try anything once!

Melissa :

I would use this wonderful kit to make vegan marshmallows for my grandmother's famous ambrosia-like dessert, which we serve at every family dinner. Since becoming vegetarian (3 years ago), I have not had her dessert--even though it's my most favorite dessert in the world. It would be such a treat to be able to honor her memory by making the dessert with my own special touch, and, as a bonus, show my family how yummy vegan food can be! :)

kara. :

While I was living in England mashmellows became my favourite desert. Then I had to move to Spain and I've never eaten em again! >__

I just hate being here!

Jess K :

If i won i would do the only thing any normal person would do... bonfire+guitar+beach+surf in the background+ vegan marshmallows= HOT ! ! ! CHEEEYEAHHHH! !
All my friends could finally see that vegan is NOT hard and is worthwhile, plus pretty damn delicious too.

Brittany Wickman :

Ah, these look so good! They would turn EVERYBODY vegan!

Erin G :

Oh, there are so many things I could do with some vegan marshmellow. I cannot remember the last time I had marshmellow! I would definately start by making some smores with my daughter and a key lime pie would be on the top of my list! Hot chocolate, mmmmm...

Rylee :

If i won those marshmallows, i would throw a huge bonfire, and everyone would have vegan smores and fudge.

Bonnie :

I love marshmallows. I have really missed them. What is hot chocolate w/o the marshmallows? s'mores?
Doesn't it make you hungry too?

charline s :

I would share with family and friends.

Lisa :

I will make rice crispy squares which I MISS and I will create my own breakfast bars and cereal bars to take to work with me with cereal peanut butter nuts, ect

Anonymous :

If I win the vegan Marshmellow contest.
I want to try them toasted
in my fire place.

Jennie Taylor :

smores at the cottage!
if I won these, I bet you I could get my ENTIRE family hooked on being vegetarian. I've been trying for so long, but no one will even try it. Maybe if I could show them there are tasty alternitaves, they'd consider it!
My whole family meets at the cottage every year, and every night we go down to the beach and make smores. Vegan marshmallows would be perfect!!

Sara :

If I won, I would make them with my nephew to show him vegan food tastes just as good as the other stuff. I'd really like to make rice crispies treats with this, too! I haven't had those in YEARS. =)

tracy l baker :

My daughters, ages 10,6,and 6, feel strongly enough about animal rights to forego the s'mores every year around the campfire at our annual family reunion! So i would make those little sweeties some s'mores and try to convince all our carniverous relatives it's not so hard to be vegan!

Ya know, I've not decided. I would like to try one of the above-mentioned recipes. Whatever I create, I will make them for my carnivorous friends, and when they are finished telling me how tasty they are, I will let them know they are VEGAN. That's right!

;)

Namaste-
Jamie

Natalie :

I would make them to eat plain, make smores and most importantly make RICE KRISPIES TREATS YUMM

Renee :

If I can figure out how to make the marshmallows, I'll come up with a way to toast them when they are done. Yum

Meatless in Chicago :

I will use my kit as an educational tool to prove yet again that you do not need animals/byproducts to prepare a delicious desert!

Kim :

If I won the vegan marshmallows, I would make them for people that I know to expose them to the deliciousness of veganism. I would also cook them up in a yummy recipe and hand out pieces for free at my vegan tabling endeavors!

brandie :

If I win the contest for the free marshmellows I will finallly be able to grill marshmellows over an open fire again. We have a great brick fire pit in our back yard that we made from the ground up. And all I can think of now is how much I miss roasting marshmellows over the open fire. But I promise not to shake the stick... we don't want flying flaming balls-o-goo.

Kitsa :

My children are 6 and 11.
They miss rice krispy squares so much, that each time we go to a supermarket, they make me read the labels and they cross their fingers hoping that "gelatin" is not in the list. I have heard that there are vegan marshmallows in the United States but that's too far to travel just for vegan marshmallows. I tried to order by mail and had to cancel when I found out that the shipping costs were just too expensive. My children and I would love to win this kit and finally be able to make rice krispy treats again. Thank you for the opportunity to enter this contest.

kate :

I would make a marshmallow brownie sundae, no scratch that i would make two!!

Kitt666 :

I really really miss rocky road squares. I would love to make them again!

Jessica Peixoto :

Oh my I miss marshmellows!! If I win this I will probably take a packet to camp and make marshmellows so that I and the other vegetarians can roast them over the fire instead of sitting there eating watching everyone eat their smores and crisp marshmellows... I can actually have some! :O I would also make those amazing looking lemon merangue bars and rice krispie squares which I miss too! Ohhhh and hot chocolate! ^_^ Also, I would make some desserts for a bakesale where the profets go to Free the Children and building a well in Sierra Leone(freethechidlren.com) and promote veganism at the same time! :) I'm hungry now...

Marlene :

I recently became vegan and since many of my friends are curious about what vegan eat, I am making them a vegan meal. I think these would make a great dessert (or maybe even appetizer :)

Lily :

If I won I'd play chubby bunny!

Beth DeCarlo :

Oh, there are so many ways I would love to enjoy vegan marshmallows. Plain, roasted, dipped in dark vegan chocolate, rolled in organic coconut, melted over vegan hot cocoa, on top of a frosty bowl of soy ice cream... just to name a few. I would of course invite my vegan and non-vegan buddies over to share in the deliciousness... or would I?

Kara Poulios :

Mmm, I wonder if I could make marshmallow fluff for sandwiches with these? Or rice krispie treats!

Gregory Hill :

Roast them on a stick over a low fire

Colleen :

Well first off I'd eat them of course. I've been vegetarian for 10 years now and my goodness do I miss marshmallows. But I am about to take the plunge and go completely vegan and my meat-eater husband is thinking of joining me! So we've been thinking of opening a vegan restaurant - there aren't too many in South Africa, in fact the only one I can think of is Earth 2.0 - and vegan marshmallows would go very well on the menu!

Katie Timperio :

If I won, I would use them to enjoy with a cup of vegan cocoa!

First off I'd be wanting to make the marshmallows and see firsthand how much they tasted like marshmallows. Next I'd be wanting to try some topping for lemon meranque - since I've been vegan for 17 years now it's been a while since I've had such a treat and it would come in pretty handy for me right now.

Thanks for helping make this possible.

Peace, love and understanding.

Amber :

If I win the vegan marshmallows I will definitely buy some graham crackers and chocolate and make me some smores! I haven't been able to eat them in so long...and they are probably the dessert I miss most. I'll also make my family some too to show them that there are vegetarian/vegan alternatives for pretty much everything! =)

Sophie :

I'd roast them over a fire, use them for the topping of a hot chocolate and put them in a sundae. Yum!

susan bennett :

I would use these marshmallows for hot cocoa, smores and BBQ fun. Most important is that I would be able to show my 6 year old daughter that living a cruelty-free life doesn't have to mean that we can't have fun with our friends through the types of food that kids love!!

With camping season here, I will use these to make s'mores around the bonfire.

Melanie :

you want to know what I would do with vegan 'Mellows....well first off I would make a all the desserts wich involve 'mellows that my family loves and then after they've eaten them tell them what kind of Marshmellows they were!! I would also give some to my best friend who is always baking something for her son (4yrs old) and who is also trying to eat healthy like myself. BTW I still haven't gotten my vegetarian/vegan starter kit in the mail??!! AHHHH i need help....just the other day I pratically swallowd a chicken burger from McD's whole I tell ya!! lol But to whomever wins...Bake somin GooOOoood!!

Time to show the fluffy side of a vegan's heart! Fams and friends know bits of the ugly of why I protest from meat, byproducts but need to see my "sugary" side!

Kara :

I miss marshmellows! I really miss fluff for peanut butter and fluff sandwiches. Yuuummm. and of course s'mores and rice krispy treats (two of my favorites!) My mom also used to make these amazing layered bar things... I'm sure I could veganize them if I had vegan marshmellows. Finally...

s'mores of course!!!

Arden :

I want to eat them! They sound delicious!

Gina Rich :

I would love to make Rice Krispie Treats to share with my daughter's pre-school class!

Katie Harter :

I will be doing a lot of camping and hiking this spring and summer as usual and camping just hasn't been the same since I became a vegetarian. Veggie dogs and burgers are great, but I miss s'mores! I would make and eat s'mores til the sun comes up!

Steve Scott :

One word SMORES

Lynn S :

I'd melt up some chocolate and peanut butter and dip the marshmallows in it. ;-)

ida margrethe :

i would defently have a bake-off at my campus and prove that vegan food is as fun as u make it out to be.
wow, marshmallows - havnt had that in yrs...
aaaah...i want them in my hot chocolate, AND!!! CAMPFIRE!! mmm..
my mouth is watering...

13rubberducks :

I'd want to roast them.

Evelyn :

I'd want to make some smores, then some rice crispy treats, and anything else that I could think to make with the marshmellows.

I really miss eating marshmellows since I became vegetarian.

Miss Heidi :

One thing my husband really misses since he's become vegan is rice crispy treats. So, if I won, I'd bake him a batch. Maybe even put some melted carob chips on top. I'd make s'mores out of the leftover marshmallows. Thanks.

Hi, first thx for this scrumptiousness full blog, I come here only from time to time (cause I have the memory of a jelly bean). If you'd accept a little French witch to win a kit here's what she'd do with it. The big deal in France is macaroons. French girls and women don't only like them, they seem to worhsip them. Look at the success of Ladurée or Pierre Hermé, both based on macaroons! They are so cute, elegant, colorful, playful, that they even appeared in the Sofia Coppola movie Marie Antoinette! They are so challenging for the skills and imagination of a cook that when I started to get really into cooking, I couldn't pass on macaroons. I have my own little plan to take over the world with brand new macaroons. One of my biggest challenge was to find a way to come up with a vegan macaroon for those delicious treats are mainly made out of meringue. I can't believe I have now a way for making one of my personnal challenges completed. So even if I don't get anything, thx for taking the time to read and sharing this awsome news about this awesome new product!

Megan :

Well, I'm not vegan anymore (I was for 8.5 months, and then went back to vegetarianism because of lack of nutrition), but I'd like to go back, and I think that winning vegan marshmallows is DEFINITELY the way to start, 'cause they're awesome. :)

Tabby :

I would use them in my hot vanilla soy milk!

jan koontz :

have a party for two

Adam Zielie :

classic campfire smores

Beverley Justice :

I'd learn to make them with my grandchildren. What fun!

Tiffany L :

I honestly don't know what I would do with it. I am a new vegetarian, and recently have become a vegan by default. My stomach can no longer digest any dairy.

I have been experimenting with reciepes and have found quite a few that are really good. And I am figuring out that cooking and baking is actually a lot of fun.

So if I were to win the kit I suppose I would incorporate it with some desserts that I have been meaning to try.

Carla Pullum :

Have Family Night!

Lula :

It's simple!!! the classic and superb smoore :) it's bbq time, so i can show to my friends and family how great an all time classic can be in a vegan version

joe gersch :

eat em

Jessica :

Oh....smores! What else would I do with the marshmallows, but EAT them! I would share them with my family and friends and teach them the benefits of being a vegetarian. If they taste good enough, I might actually convince some of them to convert over the vegetarianism...whether this month or gradually over the next few months. I will also bring them to a local camp I volunteer at and show the children the wonders of animals and how, even as a child, they can become vegetarians. I feel this will help win over their heart...or rather their stomach!!!

Thanks!!!

bryon shaffer :

eat good

Kristie Noguera :

Make Smores - My kids can't seem to understand why I am the only mom on this planet who doesn't make smores.

theresa demars :

cool i really want to try these my daughter is a vegan and ths would be a cool surprise,,thanx

Stephanie Chandrasekaran :

If I were to win these I would introduce my family to them so we can begin to experiment the different ways we can use them for yummy treats!

I would gather up friends, probably at a fire pit, on the beach, and seemingly make regular smores and when they are mostly done, let them know that they are vegan and that there are alternatives that can still taste wonderful. Then if they are willing to listen, tell them about being vegetarian/vegan and the effects on the animals we eat. Especially the poor farm animals, namely chickens.

sarah woods :

I would make marshmallow creme and add it to the vanilla wafers or the sugar cookies to make veg-mased sandwiches. Thanks SW

linda mercer :

i would love to win this i am always up for new things

marilyn susan h. dela cruz :

I will make it for my kids and share to our friends. thanks

Jennifer Jozwiak :

I'd make smores, yum

Kathy Mullins :

I'd put them in my hot chocolate. There's nothing like marshmallows in hot chocolate!! I could also make S'mores just the way my foodie brother taught me. I would definitely enjoy them!!!!!!

jane yates :

O I WOULD SARE WITH MY GRAND BABYS THEY WOULD LOVE THEM.

Sally Baldwin :

make 'em and then eat 'em with my family! Yummy!

Delci Winders :

I'll make rice krispy treats with my little brother!

Courtney Kay :

I would make my parents and fam eat vegan s'mores and see if they could guess what ingredient is missing (a la Chef Ramsey on Hell's Kitchen). They might be able to guess (I too am skeptical of this mallow kit) but it will still be fun to feed them something vegan.

elena callas :

Looks yummy!

A. Ashley :

I'd probably buy a vegan version of Rice Krispies and make vegan Rice Krispie Treats.

trudee carreiro :

my children would love them

hazel hunt :

Anne G :

Smores all the way!

Paula S. :

'Smores of course! That's always the first thing I think of.

Marion Burgess :

Make some smores of course!!

Tonya Morris :

Wow! a kit that would allow me to make my kids marshmallows, that is awesome. My 4 year old has never even tasted a marshmallow.

Paula Harmon :

My kids like putting the marshmallows in the microwave for about 30 seconds so they puff up really big. Then they shrink back down and are super sticky but they just love doing that.

Michelle Simons :

I will eat them

Mary Jenkins :

I'd put them in my cereal! i haven't had lucky charms in 16 years. sometimes i miss junk food.

Ed Nemmers :

Organic s'mores!

Carol Muth :

I would make a real bonfire and toast them on a stick . That way you can eat them just toasted or make smores. Yum. I haven't been eating marshmallows since the start of mad cow disease.

Genevieve Baglio :

Oh my goodness, if I won this kit I would FINALLY get to eat marshmallows again! You don't even know how happy that would make me :)

Samantha Pruitt :

Smores! duh!

Pat Connors :

Please count us in.

philip halter :

Mary M :

I would give the kit to my daughter because she would enjoy making the marshmallows.

Kelly Crocker :

cool win

Pamela White :

I really want to try these vegan marshmellows to see if they taste as good as they look.

Veronica Garrett :

I would use them to make smores for my family.

Gina Stratos :

I would love to try the Lemon Meringue Bars. We're a family who loves to camp so Smores are also a favorite standby.

KristelH :

I would make Smores of course!

Dan :

Cooking and snacking

Annette Mocabee :

I would make vegan marshmallows krispy treats with my kids. We love to find new vegan things to make together.

What an amazing product. We would use the kit to make homemade smores and granola bar topping. We would also like to try it in a fluffer nutter sandwich, or placed between two cookies.

Tammy Greer :

S'mores is what I'd make for sure! Love them!!!!!

Barb Wild :

i will share my marshmellows with my nephew and three kids at Fish Creek Campsite, in upstate New York on our last ever vacation together before they head off to college!

kathy pease :

please enter me :)

thea :

This is my unofficial petition against "I'd make s'mores" and "Mmm, crispy treats" as 'original' ideas! Please, people, we all have imaginations, so USE them! Through this contest, we are trying to show that vegans can have a plethora of diverse food choices, and that we are not in fact limited in our selections, that cruelty-free options are not only healthier, but they can taste just as great - WithOUT the guilt! Enough of the neverending, redundant entries about s'mores! Please people, have a look around. You can be inspired by anything and everything you see. Walking through a garden, the grocery store, anything! Everywhere is potential inspiration to create something original, unique, and tasty! How about whole grain waffles, pancakes, or crepes topped or filled with fresh summer berry compote and almond-vanilla marshmallow creme, with chopped toasted nuts? How about sweet potato, carmelized onion, barley and butternut squash stew with a swirl of melted marshmallow on top? Or home-made green tea, almond, and vanilla marshmallow swirl ice cream sandwiches? Fluffy pina colada marshmallow custards? Experimenting with friends or family to see who can come up with the best "creme brulee" using marshmallow and a variety of other ingredients instead of the cholesterol-laden, cruel animal products? Anything but another entry listing s'mores and crispy treats! Use your imagination, you'd be surpirised at what you can come up with from only a small knowledge of basic kitchen tools, some inspiration, and of course - The vegan marshmallows that I hope are on their way to my kitchen! Good luck with your (original!) ideas everyone! :)

If I won the vegan marshmallows I would share them with others in my family.

Rosanne Morrison :

Vegan marshmallows? How do other marshmallows have animals in them?

Sand :

I'd make my take on a fluffernutter sandwich.

Donna Kozar :

I would like to make smores.

Kristen Hendricks :

If I won the vegan marshmallows, I would make them so I could eat them and try them out. I would also share them with my family members. The vegan marshmallows sound like they are delicious. This is a great giveaway and I really hope I win. Thanks.

Pamela Hansen :

i would make smores vegan style

Timothy Selig :

God bless our troops

Janet :

if i win i would eat them.

Lily Kwan :

I'd scarf them down like there was no tomorrow! ;0p

Amy :

Hi Rosanne!
Marshmallows typically contain gelatin which is made from boiled animal bones, skin, cartilage, etc.

You can find out more about gelatin alternatives here: http://www.vegcooking.com/vegcooking-gelatinalt.asp.

Hope that helps!

amy

Seamus McDonnell :

I would eat them

ash :

i'd love to win the marshmallows, my birthday is coming up and im having a bon fire, so now with these i won't miss out on the s'mores!

Heather Johnson :

My family and I go on campouts often, and we do miss the s'mores. Last time we tried making them with the marshmallow fluff (not vegan, but vegetarian), but it is just not the same. I want to make them and share them with the non-vegetarians who go with us. I am slowly trying to convert my cousins (they like a lot of the stuff I make).

David Romportl :

They look so good!!

You can now make your own successful vegan marshmallows at home.

My recipe uses agar agar and soy protein isolate. Soy protein isolate is what the commercial makers use.

The link below will take you to the recipe. Now you will be able to S'mores and rocky road and many other marshmallow delights.

http://www.meatandeggfree.com/agar-marshmallows.html

VEGAN MARSHMELLOWS.

I WILL EAT THEM AT THE CAMPFIRE, AND LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT YOU CAN BE VEGAN AND HAVE FUN TOO.

ALSO MAKE RICE KRISPIE TREATS , VEGAN

Magda :

I would love to make some smores and rice krispies to share with my family and friends. I cannot find vegan marshmallows in any store.
