I decided to make vegetarian marshmallows for my kids because, being vegetarian, they could not and would not eat the commercially available ones, which use gelatine. I kept waiting for them to become available in shops but then I thought I'd give it whirl myself. Originally thats what I did and began my first company, Mallow Root, three years ago which made really yummy vegetarian marshmallows. For the past year I have toiled over a hot stove, literally, and have come up with my own recipe for Marshmallows which are vegan. All the ingredients for the vegan range are certified vegan, and the vegan symbol for my packaging is pending. I'll be adding more flavours and developing the range as I go, and I'm registered with Wicklow County Council and the HSE.
