Recipe Reviews

Ever since I found out marshmallows are made with gelatin from pigs, they have been off the list for me. I cannot believe how well these turned out, and how much they look and taste like a rice krispie treat!

Instead of marshmallows, you boil some maple and brown rice syrup. The latter has a really thick consistency and very sugary taste. Then just stir in margarine (I used my go-to brand, Earth Balance), and vanilla and almond extracts. Coat the rice with it and put in the freezer for two hours to set. That's it! I also threw in some sprinkles for color. They do recommend leaving it in the fridge 8 hours or overnight, if possible.

I took these to work for a party to celebrate a project milestone. Everyone was amazed they didn't have marshmallows in them. Nice job, Terry and Isa!

My only criticism is that once they reach room temperature, they don't hold together very well. Bring some napkins!

Equipment needed: 8x8 pan, rubber spatula
