Vegan Chocolate Caramel Crispie Treats
These are a real treat and a throwback to the snacks of my childhood - I believe making rice crispie treats is a staple of learning to bake as a child, and I really enjoyed going back to that and making my own. These Vegan Chocolate Caramel Crispie Treats required sourcing vegan marshmallows, vegan caramel and vegan chocolate chips - all of which are seriously easy to do now thanks to the ever growing amount of vegan products on the market!
I sourced my vegan marshmallows from The Vegan Kind Supermarket, opting for the Dandies All Natural Vanilla Marshmallows which are absolutely DELICIOUS and are large marshmallows, unlike other veggie ones you can get which are tiny little things that you'd need to eat a handful of to be satisfied! Honestly I'm blown away by how good they are and it was hard to not keep snacking on them rather than using them in the recipe!
