As a child, I loved making rice crispy treats with marshmallows, but I had to give them up when I went vegetarian. Marshmallows contain an animal-derived ingredient — gelatin. Not cool. But times have changed and a company called Chicago Vegan Foods now makes Dandies vegan and gelatin-free marshmallows. You can use them to make this Dandies Vegan Classic Crispy Treats.

Dandies marshmallows are made with all-natural ingredients and are completely free of gelatin, artificial junk, and high fructose corn syrup. These non-GMO marshmallows are the star of this recipe.
