    Dandies Vegan Marshmallows. My Review.

    Dandies Vegan Marshmallows are in the building! I adore Sweet and Sara vegan marshmallows, the ones I used in my vegan smores recipe, but there’s a new marshmallow on the vegan shelf. And can you really ever have too many vegan marshmallow options?

    Whole Foods Find! When I spotted Dandies Vegan Marshmallows at my neighborhood Whole Foods Market this week, I nearly had an embarrassing grocery store moment in which I shrieked out-loud in glee. Luckily I held back, grabbed a bag, and moved on. Until I got home, ripped open the bag, and began my Chicago Soy Dairy Dandies taste test…

    Product Review: Dandies Vegan Marshmallows

    Shelf Appeal:
    Packaged in a nice clear pouch. I like that I can pick up the bag, squeeze it a ‘tad’ and realize how squishy and soft these marshmallows are. So much softer than even those ‘kosher’ marshmallows I have seen at Whole Foods (those aren’t even vegan). Cute little smiling marshmallow on front. Perfect packaging I should think!

    Label Check: Ingredients- corn syrup, vegan beet sugar, corn starch, corn dextrose, water, carrageenan, soy protein, natural vanilla flavor, titanium dioxide (natural mineral), salt. The calories: 90 calories in a 28 gram serving. Ten servings per bag. Thus, don’t eat the whole bag folks, that would be 900 calories of pure sugar. 🙂 Basically, the same caloriage as traditional marshmallows, but with NO ANIMAL PRODUCTS! Aka, ground up animal bones, aka gelatin, an ingredient in traditional marshmallows.


    Taste Test: OMG. These can’t be vegan! Are they really? They taste like fresh vanilla. Texture: fluffy air-puffed marshmallow. I’d love to try them in an even bigger size. Jumbo Dandies please? My vegan hot chocolate will never be the same. Sweet, melt in your mouth. Vanilla flavor is pure, mild and authentic. Squishier than the Sweet and Sara brand-a lot ‘lighter’. Although similar sweet, natural taste. (And I mean ‘natural’ in a good way!) Love these little guys!

    Price Check: OK, here’s the rub. I paid $6.99 per bag. Not exactly cheap. I won’t be buying these routinely, but for a vegan smores or rice crispy treat craving, these will be in! And they are actually the same price as the other vegan marshmallow brand Sweet and Sara. Both brands are delicious, and unfortunately-expensive.

    Last Word: Hot chocolate, rice crispy treats, smores oh my! And they say vegans don’t have any foodie fun…!

      ‘Dandies All Natural Vegan Vanilla Marhsmallows” are fantastic. I grabbed 2 bags of these from ‘Walt Churchill’s Market’ this weekend. As is or in your favorite treat, they are delicious. I ate these right out of the bag + created my own S’mores – added them to warmed up graham like buscuit cookies (‘BelVita’s Cinnamon Brown Sugar Biscuits) with one of my favorite chocolates (‘Enjoy Life’ dark chocolate bar). Delicious! I was dreaming of making these on the home campfire (in my parent’s chiminea). If you are going to a cookout or cook-in even, don’t forget these! Love.

      Dandies are the best marshmallows ever!!The toast soooo nicely, i just don't want to eat them without toasting them first. Online you can get them a bit cheaper than Whole Foods.
      I also tried the strawberry flavor of sweet and sara and i found them disgusting, they tasted really really weird and heavy.
      Dandies definitely win.

      I love, love, love Dandies. I make treats of cereal (usually cheerio shape), dried fruit (apricots and cherries) and melted dandies. Yum. The company that makes them also makes Teese my favorite melt-able vegan cheese. Have you ever tried it?
