I'm going vegan for marshmallows

I'm going vegan for marshmallows
You might think that I'm obsessing about marshmallows because I'm pregnant. I mean, c'mon, marshmallows? Aren't there like 4000 other yummy sweets that one might pick over those things people stick in S'mores or on top of hot chocolate?
But let me just say that my obsession with the tasty vegan marshmallows from Sweet and Sara started waaaay before this pregnancy. Now I just have an excuse to eat the entire container.

These ridiculously delicious marshmallows are the brain child of 18-year vegan Sara Sohn, who was convinced that she could create a vegan marshmallow, and boy did she. They're decidedly heartier and firmer than your regular old not-so-animal-friendly marshmallows, so much so that you'll find yourself biting, savoring, and yes, hoarding them, as opposed to mindlessly popping them into your mouth. Okay you might just do that too.

I'm happy with the plain Vanilla flavored marshmallows, but I'm just as smitten with the subtle Strawberry ones (pictured) too. Now I just need to find a way to hide them from my family in a place that is not my belly. -Kristen

You can purchase vegan marshmallows at Sweet and Sara or check your local Whole Foods dairy section.
