Nope. They contain gelatin.

Try to find some Sweet and Sara marshmallows. I got a smore this week by them and it satisfied my marshmallow craving perfectly.

im pretty sure most marshmallows have gelatin in them

Gelatin. That's where they catch you.

nope because peeps have gelatin in them

No. they have gelatin in them. and they will make you fat!

god why would you want to, I feel my teeth rotting just talking about them .

No sry,

Nope, they have gelatin. No matter how small the amount is, if it contains animal products, it's not vegan.

Would you eat something if it had a small amount of meat in it? Eggs? Dairy? Gelatin is made from the boiled bones, skins and tendons of animals, it's not even vegetarian.

If you don't care about a small amount of gelatin, you obviously aren't committed to the vegan lifestyle. Think about your values and reconsider the argument.

No, but there are alternatives to the gelatin that is used in marshmallow products. Arrow root is one of 'em. Check out a Vegan web site, or brows your local health food store. Thanx for considering our fellow earthlings!

Nope, they contain gelatin. Scratch those off the list!

Yes, you can.

There is no Veggie Police, there is no Tofu Mafia.

Even though you CAN eat them, it doesn't mean you SHOULD eat them if you are a vegetarian. Vegetarians do not eat gelatin, peeps have gelatin.

Your call.

::edit::
About your "but they're only .5 gelatin".

Well, would you eat .5 bacon? If you would, then go for it. If you wouldn't, then don't.

Peeps have gelatin, so they aren't vegetarian, much less vegan. And even a small amount (which I just don't believe) is enough to make it not suitable.

As someone else said, get the Sweet and Sara S'Mores. They're kind of expensive, but they are GOOD. They will cure any junk food craving you have.

Not if you take your veganism seriously. Gelatin is from dead animals, period, even if it's just a little bit. That animal didn't have to be just a little bit dead in order for it's bones, hide and connective tissue to be boiled. What's more important to you? Veganism or Peeps?

Sure you can. What is stopping you? You have taken a political stand declaring yourself vegan, but really, what is it exactly that is stopping you? OK, so they contain a little gelatin, which comes from animal fat, but so what? Do you skip jams and jellies too? I just do NOT understand the vegan thing, going to such an extreme. Human beings are omnivores. Omnivores can and do eat ANYTHING. We can make the choice. What you do in the privacy of your own home behind closed doors is YOUR business. Just don't tell anyone about yielding to a guilty pleasure...
