Mini Vanilla Marshmallows

Dandies Mini Vanilla Marshmallows start with tapioca syrup and cane sugar, set with carrageenan instead of gelatine and finished with a touch of natural vanilla. Tip the bag out and you get a flurry of small, bouncy pieces that squash easily between your fingers and melt into a soft, sweet puff in the mouth.

Why You'll Love It

Dandies make their marshmallows entirely from plants, using tapioca starch and soy protein to get that familiar springy bite without a trace of gelatine. The result is light and just sweet enough, with a gentle vanilla note running through each piece, and a texture that toasts and melts just like the marshmallows most of us grew up with. It's a genuinely useful find for anyone avoiding animal ingredients who still wants the real marshmallow experience rather than a workaround.

How to Use It

Their small size makes them perfect for dropping straight into a mug of hot chocolate or coffee, where they soften and spread across the top in seconds. They toast well over a flame or under the grill for s'mores, hold their shape when folded through rice cereal treats, and scatter nicely over a baked sweet potato or a bowl of ice cream for a bit of chew. A handful also works simply eaten on their own as a sweet nibble.

About Dandies

Dandies, from Chicago Vegan Foods, set out to prove that plant-based marshmallows could taste and behave just like the traditional kind, down to the toast and the stretch. These Mini Vanilla Marshmallows show that approach at its simplest: a short ingredients list doing a familiar job well.
