vegan marshmallows & vegan "jello"

[elizabeth70]

i mentioned this in another thread kind of OT. i thought i'd start a new thread with links. these are 2 things i always felt vaguely sad that my boys (DD is omni) would never have in their childhood. so, i'm thrilled to find that they do exist! we've had all of these and they are fab! luckily, for us, they are all locally available near us in various stores like WF and TJ's and a local veg grocery. but some of these are also available on-line.

marshmallows:

Dandies

sweet & sara

vegan gel desserts:

cups and TJ's gel cups

boxed/homemade

**note: i am not promoting these as "health foods", just an occasional treat...

Mmmmm . . . those sweet-and-sara marshmallows are great for roasting over the campfire too! We had them all last summer. Wonderful .

dandies are so good. we get them (too much). Ds has had one and loved it and preceeded to keep asking "where'd those white things go?"

woohhoooo! Thanks for sharing this. These are two products I could not give up (even though I am 99.5% vegan otherwise). good to know there are GOOD alternatives out there. As I said to some one once who gave me the worse excuse for a vegan cookie ever "good heavens, I stopped eating meat, not junk food"....vegan is no excuse for bad dessert.
