As kids, we all loved eating crispy rice treats. They’re sweet, they have an amazing texture, and they’re packed full of marshmallows! What’s not t0 love? Unfortunately, most store-bought crispy rice treats are not vegan. Luckily, that doesn’t mean that you have to give them up! This is a recipe for vegan rice crispy treats. No gelatin, guaranteed!
How do I find vegan marshmallows?
Most marshmallows contain gelatin. So, we’ve developed our own vegan recipe! Vegan Marshmallow Recipe! They’re delicious and quite easy to make.
If you’re looking to buy some vegan marshmallows in-store, look for the Dandies brand. They make all-vegan marshmallows. If you have a Trader Joe’s near you, their store brand of marshmallows is also vegan.
