A key ingredient in hot chocolate and s’mores, these fluffy plant-based treats are what you need!

Whether you’re whipping up dairy-free hot cocoa, homemade Rice Krispies Treats, or summer s’mores, you’re going to need a bag of plant-based marshmallows. ICYMI, traditional marshmallow varieties are not vegan as they are often made with gelatin, an animal byproduct. Oh, heck no! So say goodbye to unnecessary cruelty and choose from our list of the best vegan marshmallows on the market.

Dandies

ISO vegan marshmallows for your plant-based recipes? Dandies is our go-to brand! Made without artificial colors and flavors, corn syrup, or gelatin, what’s not to love about this cruelty-free brand? We love the iconic vanilla marshmallows in standard and mini sizes, but let us not forget about the brand’s seasonal marshmallow varieties in maple, pumpkin, and peppermint flavors. And keep your eyes peeled for the launch of the brand’s vegan marshmallow fluff, Dandies Cream, set to grace the market next year.

During her studies to become a registered dietitian, Anja—a longtime vegetarian—transitioned to a vegan diet. Living in Kalamazoo, Michigan at the time (Go Broncos!), she met Maggie and Tammie through VegOut Kalamazoo (one of VegOut’s first focus cities) and began collaborating with the duo. When she’s not writing about new vegan eats, practicing as a pediatric clinical dietitian, and virtually coaching fellow plant-based eaters, you can find her creating veg-centric recipes, trying new cruelty-free products, and spending time with her partner Addison and cat Kovu.
