Our favorite Vegan Marshmallow, Dandies has been working out. Maybe you’ve noticed? If you haven’t go get a bag and check them out. The new size on the left is more like the size of a traditional marshmallow, the original Dandie on the right. The taste and feel of Dandies were already on point. The size just makes them that much more enjoyable.
It may be February, but we were feeling in the mood for some S’mores. Vegan Baker and proprietor of Flex Your Heart Bakery, Allison Schmidt had just the recipe. Dandies S’more Cups!
You can make these in the comfort and warmth of your kitchen anytime. And if you don’t have any open flame, pop them in the microwave for 10 seconds. The Dandies really puff up and do something magical to our mouths!
Here is what you need
1 Bag of Dandies (get a second bag for snacking)
3 Cup Crushed Graham Crackers
1 Cup Sugar
2/3 Cup of Melted Earth Balance
Mix together all three in a bowl. Press firmly into a cupcake tin making sure to pack the bottom and sides tightly. Refrigerate for half an hour, bake at 375 for 8-10min. This will make 18 Cups
Chocolate Ganache Filling
1/2 Bag Semi Sweet Chocolate (8oz)
1/2 Can Coconut Milk (7oz)
3 Table spoons of Powdered Sugar
Heat coconut milk to a medium heat, just before a boil. Place chocolate chips in a large bowl and then add milk and sugar. Wait about a minute for the chips to start to melt and then begin to stir. Now pour about a table spoon or enough chocolate ganache to fill each cup about half way.
At this point, you can set them in the fridge and chill for a firmer ganache, or if you like them warm and gooey skip the fridge and start toasting the Dandies!
We used a portable camp stove. If you don’t have anything like this, or don’t like the idea of open flames in side, place a Dandie in each cup and pop it in the microwave.
Go check out Allison’s Etsy page Flex Your Heart. If you need some Dandies, our friends at Food Fight Grocery would love to send you some in the mail.
Here is your chance to get a free bag of Dandies. Post in the comments your favorite vegan marshmallow and marshmallow enhanced food. We will pick our favorite and announce the winner on Sunday.
Anyone know if there are any stores that sells Dandies in LA? The place by me that was carrying them kinda sorta went out of business.
Wholefoods should have them. As for local spots, I’m not sure.
Favorite marshmellow recipes?
rice krispie treats!
a classic.
And yes, as Mr. Fakie said, Whole Foods carries Dandies.
I live in Nashville and picked some up a few weeks ago and made rice krispie treats.
I havent made smores yet, but those are my list for sure.
I am kind of obsessed with Dandies. I’ve made rice krispie treats with them, made smores with them (in the microwave), and I’ve also thrown them into hot cocoa and, uh, eaten an entire bag all by myself. I saw the bigger ones at Whole Foods yesterday and cheered. YAY DANDIES!
