I want to take a break from recounting my east coast adventures and talk about some tooth-aching sweetness that recently came into my life:
Dandies Candies Vegan Marshmallows. These are the new offering from the awesome
Chicago Soydairy, and they straight up rock. They taste and behave just like the original, and to put them to the true test, I made Rice Krispy Treats with them yesterday. Of course, I used organic
Earth Balance instead of butter and organic
Erewhon Crispy Brown Rice instead of the infamous blue box, but what else would you expect? I also added some of those vegan 'chocolate discs' I got at
Economy Candy. They came out so perfectly, I was actually shocked. Now if only I could get my husband to stop eating them. Here's a pic of the marshmallows, the chocolates, and the finished product:
However do I manage to stay on top of new vegan products like these badass marshmallows, you ask? Well, here I have
VegNews.com to thank. Specifically, it was their fine reporting on the
Expo West showcase where I heard about the 'mallows. In fact, I posted a comment on that piece and won a goodie bag full of treats from the big event! There were no marshmallows, but look at all the other swag:
I'm one lucky gal. Don't think I ever take that for granted either. I am truly blessed to be having all these great experiences I write about, and I know it! More of said experiences coming right up....

You've got my mouth watering once again, Sky! If Saran can't stop eating them, they're the real deal. I may just have to try this out on the "office baked-goods junkies" where I work, we have a core group that insists on baking or buying and bringing in every conceivable type of super-crapola sweets in the universe (which I always ignore, of course); a pictorial soon to be posted on my blog. Dare I waste good vegan fare on this crowd? Hey, it'd be worth it just to see their faces upon learning they just ate much healthier Rice Krispies Treats! Thanks for sharing once again!
They won't know the difference. I promise you. Try it! :)
dad will want these when we come to SanFran!
Who am I to deny my father? We can even make them together. Awww.....
