Does anyone miss those gelatinized marshmallow peeps that are oh-so famous during this time of the year? Just curious! Boy, those things sure are sugary!
I am guessing the vegan recipe version would be: vegan marshmallows + raw sugar!
I remember as a kid putting these in the microwave and watching them grow. Then after a day of eating a few of these and feeling sick to my belly, the whole pack would go stale. *oh the memories* ::)
i think the candy i miss the most now is gummy worms....
hey mnvegan,
they may not have vegan gummy worms, but the do have vegan gummy bears. I buy these at my local Kroger, but if you can't find them near you, just order them from this site:

Did you ever microwave those? They'd inflate into HUGE monster Peeps-- and then promptly collapse when you opened the door...
and then they tastes like crap. Chewy, bubble-gum consistency crap. Apparently, Peeps don't microwave favorably. (Of course, does ANYTHING microwave favorably?) Ah, those Peeps... I really don't miss them, I was hypoglycemic, so I could only eat like 2 before they made me disastrously ill. But I miss the camaraderie that ensued from making Steroidal-Monster-Peeps...
Am I the only one who finds this microwaving and flattening of peeps deeply disturbing?? I mean, doesn't that constitute cruelty to marshmallows?? :D ;D ;D ;D
OK, avoid me, I have a temperature...either I didn't get enough miso or the microbes just went underground for a few days... :P
