I recently came across Dandies Vegan Pumpkin Mini Marshmallows. They have a mild but delicious pumpkin flavour and since they’re more natural than other alternatives, my children don’t bounce off the walls after eating them. My girls and I had so much fun making them today, and they taste so good, I just had to share 🙂

Have a safe and spooky Halloween!
