I was wondering what everyone substitutes for marshmallows in cooked recipes. Like rice crispy treats or such. I have an icing recipe that rocks but it takes marshmallows :(

Smuckers marshmello ice cream topping is vegan--it's OK in RCT, but you have to let them refridgerate for a long time to get them to stick together. I think other people use a type of fluff, bu i can't remember what it is called.

does anyone know if the vegan marshmallows are like regular marshmallows??? I think it is more consistency or texture that I need not taste.

I always thought marshmallows were made from a marshmallow plant. :-[
I don't eat them anyway, so it's not a problem. But, why did I think it was a plant?! ;D

Isn't there a marshmallow plant? Perhaps the confusin lies in your bio background and just knowing you'd heard of it before?!
maybe? :-\

it might not work for your frosting recipe, but i've seen rice crispie treat recipes on here where they use corn syrup.

I believe the Althaea 'mallow' is the plant from which marshmallow's flavour and name originated... other species of this plant are used in herbal medicines and cosmetics. ;)

Yes! That's it. I thought that's what marshmallows were - processed plants.

::) I used to always think that cotton plants were marshmellows. We'd drive by the cotton fields and I'd be like 'yum!'

you can get the "deformed" (or whatever they call them) marshmallows off of pangea (veganstore.com) for cheaper (1.79) for rice crispy treats, since you'd be melting them anyway.
And yes, there's this stuff called Suzanne's ricemellow fluff. I've seen it online and at Whole Foods; you might not even have to heat it. Yummy stuff.

You're best choice is Ricemellow. It's like marshmallow creme. It's the best marshmallow substitute on the market. I've used it to make rice crispie treats with great success. I'm sure it'd work with similarly excellent results for your icing.
Mmmm... now I want to sneak into your kitchen and grab a fingerful of icing.

These are yummy and have a good marshmallow texture (but they are expensive--almost $4.00 a bag plus shipping, but if you want as close to the real thing as possible, then here you go!)
