Through a very strange series of coincidences, I can now report on

using Pangea's marshmallows in s'mores. (Someone on this list

mentioned they were on sale. I was heading up to visit my mom, and

Pangea's on the way, so I stopped in and stocked up. My mom happened

to mention my uncle was having a party, so I dropped by there on my

way back home, and one of my cousins tried to feed my daughter a

marshmallow. <insert slow-motion footage of me leaping in front of

her, screaming " noooooooooooooooo " and batting the offending object

away just inches from her mouth.> (Ok, not really, but it sounds more

dramatic than just explaining what marshmallows are made out of, which

is what really happened.) She said, oh, too bad, we're about to make

s'mores, and I said, well, just so happens that I have several bags of

vegan marshmallows in the car, let's try 'em out.)

 

Parenthetical digression over, review follows:

 

They don't puff up, get gooey, or really change color (there were a

few brownish spots on them after prolonged roasting). They seemed to

take about twice as long to roast as the conventional ones - I don't

know if that's because I wasn't holding them close enough to the heat,

we didn't recognize them as doing anything, or if they really do just

take longer for some reason. They're also quite a bit smaller than

conventional marshmallows, so if you're giving them to kids to take to

camp, I guess there could be some " funny-looking food " issues. (Do

kids tease each other over the size of their marshmallows? I do not

know.) However, they do get hot and melt the chocolate satisfactorily,

and they smush down with just a bit more effort than conventional

ones. The finished product was very tasty, which was the important

thing to me, but if you're looking for the whole s'mores " experience " ,

you might be disappointed.

 

Also: first s'more I've had since I went to girl scout camp back in

the 80's, so that was kind of neat. Your nostalgia mileage may vary.
